Wiener Stadtwerke vs Owen Pallett


Wiener Stadtwerke are the leading water, gas and electricity provider in Vienna, Austria. They also provide public transportation and run a huge undertaking business...

Well, those who live in Vienna and watch TV or go to the movies sometimes, have probably seen the new commercials. Here's the song they use: www.wienerstadtwerke.at They claim that the name is "Wohlfühlsong" (=feel good song) by an artist named NASCO. I tried Googling that artist, but nothing came up.

And now compare the song to the beginning of Final Fantasy's "This is the Dream of Win & Regine." Here's the video: www.youtube.com

You will probably agree that the two sound very much alike!

Final Fantasy is a Canadian one-man-project by violin player/singer/songwriter Owen Pallett. He recorded "This is the Dream of Win & Regine" for his 2005 debut album "has a good home c.d." He sued.

If you would like to support Owen Pallett and tell Wiener Stadtwerke what you think of all this, there is a handy "Kontakt" link on the top right corner of www.wienerstadtwerke.at

But mostly, I'm just posting it to make people aware of what's going on...
