Osees borrowed the bass riff of the Red Krayola’s 1967 psychedelic song “Hurricane Fighter Plane” for Block of Ice as well as lyrics from CAN’s song “Connection”.

John Dwyer remarked: “Block of Ice was obviously inspired by Red Krayola. We were doing a show with them, and have always loved them. Also Malcolm Mooney from Can. Really a blatant rip off, but bent towards what we are capable of. When we opened with it at the show, they ended up doing "Hurricane Fighter Plane” for like 15 minutes. Pretty rad."
