Hi Dave, This is some Super FUNK man!! Your production is first class, it's really clean with everything sounding great through my bose headphones. Loving the guitar and bass work as always, the vocals add that hook element and I'm a huge fan of your percussion usage... All round wonder sound and arrangement faved!
See man..this is the result of all that Funk you've been playing emanating out into the stratosphere and rebounding off the ozone layer and subliminally influencing people around the globe one of which happens to be me!...cheers buddy,glad you liked the groove!...Dave
Its always great when you find a track by one of your favourite artists that you've not heard before. Its even better when the track is a s good as this one is. Had to listen twice. Faved
That was the best sax I've had in a long time :-) Always nice to find a track of yours I haven't listened to yet. As usual, the track made for a wonderful listen. Faved
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.
My ears are constantly being assaulted via all forms of media by all sorts of "noise" claiming to be music....
so it is wonderful to know that there are places where one can still find real music. That's why the Loop is the place to be.
This is fantastic. Your bass is always so spot on, and Slap, well he is a freaking genius. But the best part on this was that last chord you played. One word to describe this one - AWESOME!!
Well done Dave (and Slap). Two of the best out there. Thanks for the soothing start to my day. Stay well.
Sorry for the late reply man!...My Looper housekeeping is never done! lol...Cheers Bear,any comment from you is always appreciated,not only do you understand music and the people making it, you look at life through 'reality' glasses. Dave :)
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 :)

Wow this track has a ton of innovation. In terms of Hip hop, it really breaks a lot of the simplistic barriers. The way that the track progresses is just awesome, and your skills with a bass shine through. The picture that this track paints is amazing and the title fits it well.
Just all around great work man. Really interesting, different and good all in one sweet package.
Only thing that threw me off was the end. It felt a bit too rushed out you know?
Great piece. I dig it.
Hey Broken..thanks man..this was an entry for a competition Coney was running..so it's not really a full on attempt at Hip Hop as we had to use some communal loops as well.....However I'm currently working on a track with Dolawhite which is the real deal...cheers planet :)
Mate nice work, glad you found this one, very much has a rock/funk favour to it, well to me anyways, nice guitar, but a few other styles as well, so can see why you put into fusion, nice beat, synths, nice...Peace n Respect matey...Estefano...
You know, sometimes trying to find the right adjectives to describe something this good is nothing more than an exercise in futility. In those rare cases where I am speechless, I let my slack jawed, drool covered chin do the talking.
So, Dave, I do quite a bit of work with a bass player from San Francisco. He asked me who my favorite bass player was and I told him Planetjazzbass. He says "who the hell is he?" So, I sent him off to Looperland to check out your tracks. He came back a fan.
I say all of this because this track is a great example of why your bass work is up there at the top of my list. Man, there is magic in those hands...you do know how to caress Wilma ;)
This whole track is just a wonderful auditory stew my friend, and I enjoyed every last bite. I love gravy, but I love the "Gravy Train" even more.
Hi Dave, It seems I haven't been over this way for ages to listen to some of you booty.
This track is super fun, I think I just heard a massive belch lol... Great production mate as always with the mix really crisp and clean. Your playing is awesome as ever, just loving those Buddy Guy type guitar licks from your trust Fender ( strat or tele ) ? I fancy a Telecaster, but Fiona is having non of it lol....
I will be uploading the first draft of Zoo hopefully on Friday. Alexander is just recovering from one hell of a bad lip infection due to an allergic reaction to cane reeds. This happened when he was 8 and he has played on plastic ever since, but his new teachers kept saying cane was a superior sound over plastic and forced him to try them again. Two days later his lip looked like Mick Jagger's after being punch by Joe Bugner lol.... Anti biotic's have their uses...
Man this is an old one,I was still using outboard guitar effects then..two guitars my G&L F100 twin humbuckers and a G&L Legacy singlecoils (which I had borrowed for a spell and nearly bought).....Cane reed allergy for Alexander!..Oh that must be a drag..there goes your embouchure..mate he'd better never go to Queensland Australia,it's infested with Cane Toads!lol..thanks for stopping by Steve..I'll have new tracks up soon...cheers Dave :)
The Hip Hop "Syndrome", love it. So we have confusion, cops, shooting and so on..... Gee, what are you trying to say? Where did you get those vocals? Very clever piece.
Hi John..those lyrics and voice were done on the spot by an old school buddy of mine Steve who dropped by one day...I'm actually doing another Hip Hop type track now! lol cheers Dave :)
This is a cool track that makes you want to listen. Keeps your mind busy while at the same time making your foot tap. Nice and Funk. It was a great listen. Thanks.

man its somthing about this song its creates a mental image of sea so clear and the girl's voice is innocent and sharp,wonder what it was like EQ'ing this track and wokring on the second.
Found this on the "Rave for the Golden Age" thread, and I'm glad I did! That bass work is amazing, as are the guitars! The atmospheric samples are really cool too! This is some really creative stuff! Very psychedelic! Awesome work!
Yep mate....well actually 15-16 minutes...start to finish...Felix his brother Cam and I grew up together..we've had thousands of impromptu jams over the years,sadly Cam died a few years ago and Felix moved to Queensland about a thousand miles away!...land of the Cane Toads. lol cheers Dave
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
