Thankfully (for the reason of a 1st time comparison) i've never heard these two songs before.

So, compairing to other music from a first listen...............

Funeral For A Friend.
Starts off sounding very much like a traditional Jewish song (don't ask me which one, they're hardly my specialist area).
Moves upward into the grandeaur of Wagner approx 0.45, but the synthersizer sound is too strong to be pleasant.
1:08 now it sounds like it's from the musical Tommy.
1:38 Jesus Christ Superstar (Gethesmane)
2:24 Rocky Horror (and crawling, on the planets face....)
3:16 I expected to hear FLASH! AH AHHHHHHHH!

Not overly Wagnerian, and Jim himself was inspired by Wagner so that would be a simpler explaination to the Wagnerian sound of Jims music, rather than put it down to the diluted synthersizer sound in Funeral For A Friend.

I clicked on Your Sister Can't Dance, and the first thing it made me think of was Rocky Horror (especially "I'm a wild and an untamed thing).
I also hear a bit of Johnny B Goode, and Little Richards Gonna Have Some Fun Tonight.
