Influences
The Cooper Temple Clause had been associated by some with the revival of prog-rock, although their influences also included the post-hardcore style of At the Drive-In, as well as the typical 1990s-era Britpop sound of bands such as Blur and Oasis. Additionally, the band had been increasingly incorporating electronic music into their sound and cited Radiohead as a major influence, and their debut album was compared favourably to Mansun's Six.
The Cooper Temple Clause used and experimented with many different instruments, forming a unique part of their sound.

Famous quotes containing the word influences:
“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
“The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
