'Thousands on a Raft' similar to 'Brain Damage'

[Annoying Twit]

The track 'Thousands on a Raft' by Pete Brown & Piblokto!, released in 1970, has a notable similarity with 'Brain Damage'. This was pointed out on another forum and I have to agree.

I'm not suggesting that RW stole the song. It's entirely possible RW never even heard this song and that the similarity is incidental. Released on Harvest records, though. EDIT: This interview with Pete Brown talks about how he was influenced by Syd, and thought that DG was 'a wonderful musician' at the time of the UFO club etc. https://pleasekillme.com/pete-browns-journey/
