Planet, i like this kind of fusion,because you can let your mind wonder into places that you can only go there,via music. love the acoustic bass.the textures of sounds are blending in a verry creative,and mind stimulating way. have to fav and download.PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.

TraXnCtrl 18th Mar 2011 03:44 - 15 years ago

Hi Dave,
seeing how this has been put at the top of your list I thought I would give it another listen. The only problem I found was I did not add this to my Fav list the first time
Problem fixed :)

Excuse me sir.. are you Enigma? This is definatley the sound on his return to innocence CD! Im very impressed-- you fused your own style with what you want as a song, this is a sound I would love to hear more often :)

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Aah..no calling me sir ok! lol Dave or planet is fine..Thank you for the cool review ,I don't know who Enigma is but I can guarantee I've been around a lot longer than he (or she )has haha..I haven't listened to your material for ages,something that I shall remedy very shortly..cheers Dave :)

SpellJammer 26th Jan 2011 15:12 - 15 years ago

Yeah, can definitely feel the Jaco influence on this one. Your talent is insane! Seriously, you should be a commercial musician. Great track, love it.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you for the kind review mate....Jaco is one of my favourite musicians definitely,such a sad loss and tragic misfortune on his passing..but life as with music goes on..cheers Dave :)

GramoChopin 19th Jan 2011 21:15 - 15 years ago

Very soothing yet aggressive track all in one cohesive mix. the lead synth sounds as if it is screaming in pain but yet sounds like triumph to one's soul. the guitar represents life in all it's quick occurrence at the speed of a thought. the drum forever beats and lingers only to one day stop beating and die out. this is a perfect representation of life itself jazz, especially with the minor sound fx in the background towards the end. excellent job. peace

Sorry for the late reply to your great review Neo!..if there was a way to spontaneously create music in real life situations without lugging instruments around like a "Life" sound track it would be very interesting..cheers mate ,I shall be visiting your profile page shortly! Dave

ShortBusMusic 13th Dec 2010 16:28 - 15 years ago

It is amazing what wonderful music can spawn from a single drum loop. This has the signature Planet bass line, brilliant and elegant, coupled with this marvelous synth work, then layered with JFW's guitar work - exquisite my friend.

It's like this fantastic musical cake.

You took all of the ingredients, mixed them perfectly, and voila, you came up with this masterpiece. What a great way to start my day, with a perfect, flawless Planetjazzbass piece of art.

This goes really well with Kona coffee :)

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks Bear....I don't know what it is with music, sometimes I wish I could just sing like Iggy PoP and get angry with the world..but when I sit down and hit record..this sort of stuff come out! LOL...cheers mate and it's fantastic your back on the loop! Dave :)

StephenPotter 29th Oct 2010 10:41 - 15 years ago

Its only just occured to me that I haven't actually listened to your tracks despite knowing about you as a member for about 10 months.. glad to say I finally got round to take a listen.

This track is amazingly relaxing, great strings, nice fx's in the background, it all flows together really well and you've done a really good job here.

I can't really point out much for improvement either, which is always a good thing.

Nice job, I doubt this will be the last track of yours I review!

Ste :)

BertLindsey 16th Oct 2010 14:35 - 15 years ago

As I listened to this track I sat on my porch in a lite fog at six am. The music flowed as the fog rolled in. Your music was the sound track for this mornings experience. My uncle and reedman, Buddy Collette would have loved hearing it. "We dig" is my reply as I am sure it would have been his. Peace...

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Bert..I'm very touched by this review,apart from the splendid environmentally 'being there' aspect of it the thought of your Uncle Buddy enjoying it fills me with good melancholia...the lives of people really amount to how they live on in other's memories..cheers mate and thanks for the listen! Dave :)

Spivkurl 14th Oct 2010 17:14 - 15 years ago

Perfect title for this track! I'm loving this! It's haunting and engaging! Always nice to hear some JFW on guitar! The synth work was spectacular too! Nice drum loops! Thanks for sharing this great audio experience! Faved for sure!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Spivvy thanks man!...I appreciate the listen bro! you are the numero uno reviewer buddy..cheers Dave :)

Nosleeves 12th Oct 2010 20:50 - 15 years ago

man ur style is very odd so odd that it can be been unotice if ur not keen on the fact that u play form within ur soul thats has a universe of sounds in it LOL.

very solid and minding blending track.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Screen..thanks for the listen man!..I always try and play true to myself..sometimes it works hopefully..cheers mate Dave :)

TraXnCtrl 12th Oct 2010 08:50 - 15 years ago

wow Dave,
your fusion tracks are like opening a xmas present from your favourite eccentric relative....you never know what you will get but you do know it will be #%*^#% great!
another amazing track
well done

Hey Damien..sorry for the late reply mate,hey aren't all us Aussies related,lol..well at least on the loop we are..we're thin on the ground here mate!..cheers buddy and thanks for the listen..Dave :)

douf 12th Sep 2010 02:22 - 16 years ago

well ... i hate fusion, but this is just my taste, i like the compo i think its rock solid, i didnt hear anything offbeat, it sounded dark-ish and creepy-ish, but thats fusion i think like sitting inside a microwave what do you expect from that.
great work

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks man....for someone to say they like one of my tracks and admit hating fusion makes me feel all good and cool inside! lol..cheers planet :)

Chad360 7th Sep 2010 16:24 - 16 years ago

I really cant say anymore good about you buddy. I have ranted and raved about your talent so much, I was scared you would think I was a stalker or something if I said more...lol.

But you had a loop contribution to my song "Everybody Funk Now", so like always...I like to let you know.

Chad

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks mate..lol..appreciate the support ..cheers Dave :)

JohnBoutilier 7th Sep 2010 04:24 - 16 years ago

This is the seventh track in a row that fits the mood I'm in today. Pensive and laid back. Great track.

By the way, love that last piece you did with Bill (faved it of course). You guys did an awesome job on that track.

John

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks mate!...an interesting combination pensive and laid back,I like that,sort of tension without the hangups...I get that in my playing,on the beat then an esoteric period of transition then on the beat again....cool mate..cheers Dave :)

n0mad23 3rd Sep 2010 06:14 - 16 years ago

No doubt about it - more stuff with JFW and Zappo PLEASE! You're collaboration work is always synergistic - and always exceeds the sum total of musicians involved.

There are some moments in this where it sounds like JFW's guitar and your bass are on and the same, and then like RNA transcription they unzip from each other.

Everything is fantastic about this piece - composition, arrangement, and even the glitchy texture moments. Another favorite added to my list! Thanks.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Sean..thanks man,,yep no doubt there's more than a bit of simpatico happening.....initially when the digital age arrived I thought "great,now I'll be able to make music without all the baggage of band members and their ego's"..little did I know at the time that it would introduce and expose me to like minded musicians as well...sometimes I think Looperman is more an introduction agency! lol..(perish the thought)..cheers mate Dave :)

haven 1st Sep 2010 02:17 - 16 years ago

love it - great work and thanx cuz this is a very enjoyable listening experience - all goes together so well and has a suspensful and mysterious quality - yes, great soundtrack material!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Cool buddy..so happy you like this track,I'd like to play this material live and see what reaction it received...I think I'd have to be careful of the venue though,can't see it going down a storm in a Cowboy bar! lol..cheers mate Dave :)

DeadPixel 24th Aug 2010 07:42 - 16 years ago

Love this man, sounds like something from a movie soundtrack. I like the ambient glitch thing you got going here. So relaxing, like theme music for a vacation.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks man...yeah I'm into glitch stuff,it's got that reality but unreality aspect going for it..cheers planet :)

AllenV 19th Aug 2010 09:48 - 16 years ago

Well this is very good...and no offense to anyone else but this tune seemed to actually match the genre that you gave it.
There seemed to be a great connection between the tele,the clock and your song title.Everything was real moody as it should be and the quality was extra nice.
Great!
Allen

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Al..thanks man..I liked the metronomic feel against the organic elements..also I've been thinking about buying one of Zoom's new micro digital recorders that you can put in your pocket....sort of like bringing what you hear in your day to day life into your tracks sort of vibe...cheers buddy Dave :)

alividlife 19th Aug 2010 07:11 - 16 years ago

wow... I had to do a double take really quick...
For a second I thought this was gonna go Hip-hop!
lol
Wow... JFW's synths are totally making me feel the space of time ... how moments float in and out depending on the tonal mood.
(EDIT) OH wait those were yours?! NICE!
JFW's Guitar playing was right on too... I would have a hellava time following the deep waters you treaded on this.
your bass work has SUCH clarity?!
I love how you play it on all the right blue notes. yum.
I am really appreciating the glitchy little tid-bits here and there.

This reminds me of doing LSD. But the audio type.
Great stuff!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Abe...Audio Lsd!(but no Hip Hop unfortunately) lol..it wouldn't surprise me if the CIA discovered away to do it..they'd only lease it to the record companies to give them one last grasp of power..I know what you mean though,it's like when I got this synth sound..a little light in my head went off and I thought..yeah this will work...cheers mate Dave :)

zappo 16th Aug 2010 11:46 - 16 years ago

hi buddy......lol
very nice story that you told me here.
exciting interplay and mystical influences, are the elements that come to light here in foal.

cheers
date.lef funkgartz............lol

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey mate..thanks for listening,maybe it is a little mystical I was thinking about my youth! lol..more power to the old dogs I say! hehe..cheers MrFunkenhosen :)

Mosaic 16th Aug 2010 06:44 - 16 years ago

G'day Dave

Wow man another impressive piece from you, great beat and bassline, synths very good, this is one of those tracks that you close your eye's when listening to it, and it takes you on a journey, massive track, clarity and arrangement again top rate, as I have come to expect from you my friend, can not fault this in anyway, excellent collab mate...massive fav this one...Peace and massive respect to you Dave...Estefano....

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks Esti...it's weird,years ago when drum machines first surfaced everyone thought they were pretty cool,then I went totally off them..now I'm back on them! lol..cheers mate always cool when you drop around..Dave :)

SLAPJOHNSON 11th Aug 2010 09:45 - 16 years ago

Hi Dave, well the first thing to hit me was the clarity of this track, your production is crystal clear. Your arrangements are always fresh & original with excellent playing, I can't fault this piece in any shape or form, I would call it a masterpiece.

Cheers Slap...

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Howdy Oh great Woodwind God from across the pond...at the moment I'm in serious need of a double bass,playing a simulation Vst is fine as far as it goes,,but unfortunately it has severe limitations..thanks in part to you,my love of the jazz sounds that I grew up with are resurfacing and manifesting on my musical horizon.."if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing"..can't remember who said that but it's very true....thanks buddy..Dave :)

jfw 11th Aug 2010 09:17 - 16 years ago

Great stuff Dave! I had a blast playing on this!!! I'm lucky to have (that rarest of musicians on looperman) another purveyor of fusion to work with.
Cheers, Jamie.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Cool mate!...there's not too many fusionistas left or so it seems...but always remember one thing,it's very easy to slip your hat on backwards but it's a tad more difficult to slip on an axe and get away with it! lol..cheers buddy Dave :)

Buddrumming 11th Aug 2010 07:25 - 16 years ago

Yep.... Planet you just rock my musical world....Kool track with so many sounds on the musical canvas of life....if a sound is the word ...PlanetJazzBass is the instrument....Love this piece...Thx my friend for sharing...Buddrumming

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Bud..thanks man,always good to hear from the premier skin man! :) I still don't know how drummers do it..it's like watching hyper complicated juggling,I think they are dipped in a vat of rhythm at birth!lol..I'll be over to the mix to hear your featured spot on Joseph's show ...cheers Dave

Description : Smokey little semi-blues, dub(ish) thing. This was the most recent render of a track I hadn't really quite finished off my old, now defunct laptop. I lost some plugins so on the new rig it it doesn't load like it used to. So not sure I'll come back to it. Pseudoble played some synth and provided the trumpet sample. Music made by humans.
