You ever hear a song and think, hey, that sounds so much like some other song. But when you try to look it up, so that you can finally sleep nights again and have musical closure... there are just no resources for searches like that. So in typical EGR form, I started to make a list of these "separated twins", hoping that one day they could be reunited.
The tracks are listed in pairs with the "copy" or "sounds-like" first. In one case, there's even a set of triplets. In some instances a song will sound like an exact copy of the "original" (and it makes me worry about copyright infringement); in other cases, there's just a segment of the song that's reminiscent of the other. But either way, there's a certain satisfaction that's found by listening to the first track and then its resolution-sibling.
Oh and yes, it's no secret that some tracks are repeated from other EGR mixes. It just had to be done.
