    That goes without saying. But in the interest of keeping the thread going, it's best not to mention his pink torpedo sound.

    Blimey, call yourself rock and rollers..? Power chords! Root & Fifth, can contain octaves, granted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_chord

    I have that album (Future Talk), some great playing all round on it. Yes, Marcus really on top of it. That period (end of the 70’s) he seemed to be doing a lot of Fretless playing, (Dave Grusin, Lenny White etc...).

    Often trashing England at Cricket as well.

    Sampling is more than just lifting bars from previous recordings and creatively chopping them up. Sampling is also recording traditional Instruments chromatically, mapping the notes across a keyboard, then playing/recording/painting in those sampled patches. Midi mockups using Samples is big business these days, some of the works are so good that they can make it onto the final product/Film/TV etc, or mixed in with real Instruments in the final mix.

    It’s not just his music. His work/studio engagements with other artists before leading his own band, is quite remarkable. If you have a day to spare, check out his credits... http://www.marcusmiller.com/music/discography/

    Not only does he play well, he also grooves when he talks... Terrific Musician.

    ‘Johnny Fart Pants’... EDIT: Spongebob (above), has already been there...

    @SpondonBassed Yes, that intro is terrific. Although it doesn't win me a prize, it is one of my favourite all time intros.

    'Fairlight Orchestral Hit'. 'LinnDrum'

    French Horn, eh? Lovely..... My dear old mum would have approved. Rather than my oily Trombone slide, dropping onto her lovely new carpet,

    Ahhh...Sometimes known as 'The Norman (Archer)', or a 'Doinker', with noises usually made by non slapping Bassists, in the wrong places, at the wrong time with more pulled force than a Medieval Bowman.***

    Yeah, I have this as well. Top, top playing, and those arrangements are Terrific. One of my favourite albums.

    Save up an extra £150 and get a pair of Genelec 8010A’s. (Small with quality). https://www.genelec.com/8010 And yep, in white as well..... https://www.musicmatter.co.uk/genelec-8010a-white-pair?gclid=CjwKCAiA-KzSBRAnEiwAkmQ154ZBz1und94Nb5jMLu6-H1GNtApSPegFmKmMD2upRH0yI_RDUX3hnhoCzN0QAvD_BwE

    I love Banjo, especially 'Bela Fleck'. Plenty for people not to like here. Solos, lots of them...including Victor Wooten on his Fretless.

    Indeed, along with Jimmy Smith's Bass pedal playing (his pedal playing smokes a lot of Bass players for note choice). Also Chester Thompson (Tower Of Power), his groove playing on Hammond is terrific. (not to mention, another Bass pedal monster). Not really any Instruments I don't like. They all seem to have their place at some point Plenty of players playing them that I don't like....

    Who did Niles Roger ?

    Voted. Well done all.

    Forget the stand, there is no entertainment value with it. Instead, get a lighter and incorporate your bum notes into the stage act.

    Another 'This Is This'. Good reading chops, good ears and a good music stand for full time freelancing/depping. 'What Clothes?' is the only major concern. That can be quite alarming and frightening at times compared to the set list.

    'Grasshopper' by the Wayne Johnson Trio has sublime, wonderful playing from Jimmy Johnson. Top stuff indeed.
  23. lowdown
    Yes agreed, with great musicianship and top, top vocals all round. The arranger did a terrific job as well. Maybe not one for the Zep fanboys, granted, but excruciating? I don’t think so. José Feliciano not at the top of his game at all, ‘The Police’ cover was pretty sad really. Although, watching Sting wince at the Northfolks was amusing (around :52).

    best value DAW

    lowdown replied to gjamer's topic in Recording

    I know someone who still uses emagic Logic 5.5.1 on a Windows XP machine. (as a second DAW). Back in the day, Logic on a PC rocked all over Logic on a Mac. Stable, no crashes and brilliant, water tight Midi.

    The 2007 live in Burghausen concert, is great. It's up on Youtube.
