“Do they sound familiar? Resemble of… Tool?… maybe? Oh sure they do. Do you mind? Because, for what it matters to the world, I don’t—not a damn bit; I’m as happy as Larry as long as they channel similar energy. Being a hard-core Tool fan, or, to be more specific, a fan of their music, I strongly feel there's no trademark on sound and, whether we like it or not, we, and everybody else, get influenced, consciously or not. “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.” Jim Jarmusch”
