WOW, PJB U DA MAN!!! Very infectious grooves going on here. And I really dug how you've incorporated/sustained the notes during the changes in order for the listener to hear and feel the full ambiance and harmonization of the instrument. Not to mention your sound and voicing are indeed quite extraordinary. As always with Slap doing his thing, this makes the track an all around top flight production. I'll take that ride anytime brother, great creativity, great job.
great track, i really like it, nice feeling all the same when i heard this,and it really does come together well. eshar always has great stuff to work with too hey,ive used an acapella of hers which i love! i think u have done a great job!
ThatcheR
man, u and i(hint Miles)must collab eventually..I'm looking at your profile and i'm seeing alot of similar influences, especially the jazz stuff guy...a new fave for me for sure, if Miles could come back(not that he's ever left the building for me!) he would love this man...an amazing recording!!
ps i went to Berklee with Victor Bailey, Baron Browne, Stu Hamm, Steve Vai, Kevin Eubanks and a host of others..
thanks for sharing your art with me..
Hey Vic..thanks man..that's so cool you know those guys..sounds like we grew up listening to the same stuff! way to go..I find it quite sad that kids these days haven't even heard of players like Miles and your spot on..he never left the building he's still there if people would only look..cheers mate :)
I'm really glad I came across this track, wow, once again I'm blown away by the amount and amazing variety of talent in this community...such a breathtaking, beautiful track, the narration and the music compliment each other so well that they seem to blend together as one get's lost in one's thoughts...
thanks for this wonderful collaboration!
i think damanns coils are going out.
slap is a master.
i think you have managed to take what i have always wanted to say with music... and say it.
i was thinking... about life. the feeling you get when you take a deep deeep deeeeep breath. the solidity. the feeling of life.
time and hunger. the mind. it's nagging effect on the conscience.
i really love this dave. this is... incredible.
can i be really real with you?... have you ever tried distortion? i felt that with a track like this. the human zone, despite the synths... i felt that distortion was needed on your dialogue.
thank you either way. i feel more lost than found in reality than ever.
i agree with mr.e tho, a planet slap CD would be pretty sweet. but try some distortion on size one time?
LOVE IT. FAVORITED.
you know, it reminds of the FIRST track i ever heard on looperman, which was Chernobyl. that thing rocked my world after rei's follow the sunset.
I went immediately to The Clash's "Sandinista" with the title ("Charlie Don't Surf") and was amazed at how much the guitar in this is so Clashesque! Joe Strummer would have loved this!!!! I'm guessing Mick Jones would to. I really love your sense of timing throughout this - you've got breaks in just the right places. I couldn't stop wiggling throughout. Thanks Mate!
Went fishing for loa and pulled up Damballa himself! Yeah man, ride that long snake! I love how you've fused the beginning with an ambient sensibility and then gave it all up to electrical spirit fire as expressed by the guitar. Faved.
bass work is incredible. i can never get the same vocal quality in my bass as you do, but i guess that goes back to the old adage "it's not the instrument, it's the player"
horn work is amazing btw.
i am searching for words, when the music is right there.
no need for words when you have this resting on your mind.
lol... implemented soo well!
tugs on the edge of analog goodness! great filters and use!
lol.. mr.e should totally play drums
you know, i am thinking about doing a tack that is just a drum solo.
thanks for inspiring me and being a very good human!
being a fellow bass player....i definitely appreciate the subtlety of the bass approach and the trills, voicing of the fretless bass here.
definitely grabbed my attention. do you listen to amon tobin, squarepusher, or mocean worker (adam dorn) at all? i hear adam dorn all over this track. that's a good thing (for me, anyways).
weather report, meet adam dorn.
very nice job. dig the flutes and the subtle movements within the piece. you've succeeded in making me feel that i should get to the woodshack and pull the bass out. :)
Thanks for the great review MrThirdf!..Actually I've never heard Adam Dorn..but I'll soon fix that!...I like a lot of other bassists like to think of the instrument as a full ensemble piece now and not just some element in the rhythm section...more power to the bottom enders yeah!...cheers mate :)
Trying to find some songs that I haven't reviewed of yours already. So had to dig back in time here as I didn't hear this one before.
Well, this tune was really quite different than anything I had heard before. Kinda like a big jam session to me. Lot of different stuff going on, so it sounds kinda busy as I think someone else also mentioned this.
Anyways, nice job putting all this together and making it work.
Randy
Say, just getting around to review a couple of your tunes here. After that last Van Halen song I posted, I had so many reviews to answer back too.
Anyways, your giving that Jazz bass a workout. It's nice to hear that kind of playing. Slap did a great job as well as he always does. Horns add a lot to a song.
I like this tune a lot, but doubt that I could play this type myself. More like Jazz which I never got into.
Great job here and I commend you both.
At the moment, I am trying to duplicate a guitar sound I have heard on a couple songs. One from Shania Twain and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana fame).
I am guessing it uses a combo of a Line 6 POD unit and a VoX wah-wah pedal held halfway down to give the unique tone. Guess I'll have to dig my Vox pedal out that I bought in the 60's.
Hey Randy..glad you enjoyed the tune..yeah you can't go wrong with Slap in the mix that's for sure..lol..Haha.Wah pedals are so cool..I used to have one ages ago..but it went missing..and being primarily a bass player I never replaced it..I really like them though (must keep my eyes peeled for a good deal)..looking forward to hearing your next tune..cheers Dave :)
Man you are one hell of a Bass Player! I had a perfect carpet ride to the end!! The way you incorporate your bass line into your songs is outstanding Man I enjoyed another one!!
Ahh..thank you Fila..your words are too kind..as a fellow groove merchant you know where my heart lies..in and around and on the beat! lol..I'll be over to visit! cheers mate :)
Just bouncing around listening when I came upon this GEM!! What a production Great opening which had me hooked for all 5:06 great use of the sound effects throughout this production that really set up the title. The Bass playing was so smooth and excellent. Had to FAV this one because I will be listening to this again!
This is great! I'd believe it was professional! The beginning was great, but after the first few seconds it drags just a bit, but was still extremely well done! The rest of the song more than made up for it! I might even listen to this regularly! :)
Thanks Sten..I'm glad you liked the track..it's sometimes hard to get every facet 100% flowing..it was a very hands on jamming sort of track..with not much post production...the next one will be tighter I promise!..cheers mate planet :)
Gee that's the first time anyone ever said that about one of my tracks..lol..that's cool,I hope it didn't depress you..I know I never even remotely think like that..anyway thanks for your interesting take on it..cheers planet
Match made in heaven .... Jazz that puts you in the clouds. I enjoyed this track thoroughly. Magic carpet ride was the perfect title for it. AHHHH ha ha ha... Me giving you guys reviews is laughable. I am small... very small when it comes to music, and you guys are true talents. I will continue to learn for that's all there is. A+ for my review
Hey Cool MrMM...glad you liked it..I think the main thing in equating music is to measure how much the person producing it is enjoying it..I've heard absolutely brilliant concert grade musicians play without soul because they were just going through the motions..and buskers with bugger all tuition putting their heart and soul into it...I give the money to the buskers every time!..cheers mate and thanks for your kind review..cheers planet :)
Hi Dave, well I think you know pretty much by now, that I will always jump aboard any mode of transport offered by your good self. I just love your bass style and sound. It's infectious!!! I also love your arrangements and productions, so my job was again the easiest of tasks. I hope you like the clarinet at the end....
Hey Man (Ali)..cool job!..it hadn't escaped my attention in fact ever nuance you bring to a track never ceases to blow me away...The imagery of this piece takes me to the 1965 Elvis Presley film Harum Scarum..or something similar(those films had a profound affect on a young adolescent planet..not the acting or music..but the endless bevy of babes prancing around!)..I wonder if we had of fronted the film set and laid this groove down whether we would have got the gig?..MrE would be the perfect percussionist for the clip..we'd have to work around Elvis though! lol..cheers mate and here's to more music in the future.. Dave :)
You are mercyless, with that fretless, man everything has been said, two of my fav together, out of this world, this is jammin' on another level, on another planet, this is heaven music, this is the mind speaking not instruments, thanks guys, Peace Love and Freedom to jam.
Thanks MrD...I've been working on my mastering lately..but your right.On this occasion I had a few issues to overcome..but no excuses..In future I will do way better..cheers mate :)
Thanks Evrim..good to see you..thanks for the kind review..I don't have any loops with that feel just yet...But I'm bound to make some shortly...cheers planet :)
