Listen To Future In The Past Fusion Song By Planetjazzbass At Looperman.com

This is quite a complex piece, guys. I really enjoyed all the little nuances provided. Makes you want to listen to it a few times to get it all in. Love the British sounding marching band in the intro and outro. All in all, a very excellent piece. Bravo to you both.

Cheers,
Scott

Hey Dave! Have to say the intro was great and captured my attention right away. Loved how all the parts flowed so smoothly, the transitions were smooooth. Nice job to both of you. Zappo and you work well together, you guys are on the same page for sure.

I have to comment specifically on the guitar, there is some very cool psychedelic guitar here around the 5:00 minute mark and after. Felt like a trip back to the 70's when jam rock ruled. The bass is sounding sweet as well.

The last couple minutes were a trip, really brought a smile to my face to see where you guys took this. Fav and dl, thanks for sharing!

Cheers!

You just provided me with one of the strongest reminders I have had in a long time of why I find the real creativity that my mind seeks on LM and like places that offer a musical forum for the real stuff....superb bit of musical art guys...love that fretless Dave...but the whole damn thing is just so good..and I like the passage of time vibe...I find myself paying attention to everything thats going on (and the production makes that an easy task)...bravo.....and I`m smiling cause I realize I can still get that experience most of have had that confirms what remains possible when musicians get together..(aint been on my radio for ever)....Ed

Great track. Very epic! All the instruments are very well coordinated. Great job mate

The way things are, if you don't understand the past or chose
to over look it, then you will never understand yourself or
the future....
Because key elements are contained in both, they are the keys to
understanding ones soul, ones true inner forces of self...
Won't find it on an iPad as hard as they may look...
You won't find it unless you go deep inside....

And on this one you have ventured to your borders and looked
over and enjoyed the view, I sure did...

Cool track Man very nicely done...

Peace...TG.

This has broken through a membrane from another dimension! Other worldly stuff.
It does not compute in my synaptic comfort zones but takes me somewhere new.
Somewhere strange but very very comfortable and after a while safe.
If you could bottle this stuff I'd be having a large one with crushed ice and a cigar.
This is going in my favourites because I will have to keep visiting it for some time to come I suspect.
I'm rambling.
Fantastic piece of artwork.

Sousa like intro melds into a cool ambient dissonant beginning. 1:25 says hello to us with bass delights and then some deviant pads. Piano at 2:20 is a light touch. I love the light percussive elements as well, well thought out. 2:52 has a Floyd like guitar approach. I love the sound of a fret-less bass. I wish more musicians use them on modern music. I have tried to emulate them using synths and a healthy working of the pitch bend but you can't mistake that unique sound. @4:48 we get some synth (g-tar?) sounds that emulate radio waves and whale song, cool. The arrangements are sublime. our music is giving me a nice feeling of Zen this evening. I can discuss the technical issues all night, but to describe how a certain piece effects you emotionally is the real test. 7:09 is a nice feedback sound which you subtly add but at a lesser gain in the next 30 seconds of the piece. And we End with Sousa...like Sousa took acid and saw the future....anyhow hats off to yah, A jar of Vegemite to you Dave, and a Jar of Marmite (Cenovis, Vitam-R) to Detlef.
Great work
Steve

This is more than splendid! Composing and playing is top notch! Highest level treat for fusion and jazz gourmets, as well as for anyone who appreciates more sophisticated works!

Compliments to all involved_____Orlando

Wow, this remind me of summer time evening with a radio on.

Well done mate ………….favs it goes.

Hey there, I've been wanting to listen to this since you posted the thread, and I'm happy that I did! I have to mention that I was a little shocked at the parallel ideation with my recent track - to see a title with the words "In The Past," and then the "Future" which was used almost to much in that track's lyrics... I realize there is no plagiaristic intentions of course, it just gave me something to ponder. To me, the bass in this track is definitely what shines the most. Your performance and tone is always something to enjoy deeply. The rest of the song borders a bit closely on cinematic for my tastes, but I can hear the effort and talent that went into it. It seems to be an unusual collaboration style for you, so it's cool you are trying different things. I like the sound quality and mixing very much, so good work there. Highly interesting work!

I just picked up a fresh cup of coffee and settled in to listen to this amazing piece of art. Those of us who know Zappo's work know he is a genius, and it is tracks like this that illustrate just how talented he is. Then when you jump in and add your tremendous talent on bass, well it really is a wonderful adventure for all of us.

This track has so many nuances that it is a lesson in theory, composition, and execution. Fantastic job to both of you. I'm going to shut up now, sit back, and enjoy both my coffee and this great tune. Well done gents. I hope all is well.
