I still remember hearing Ralphe Armstrong's bass solo on "The struggle of the sea turtle to the sea pt3" - really blew my socks clean off my feet lol.

visog Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) For the Fusion fans out there, Chic's latest project [b]Vigil [/b]is released today. Gobs of great bass from Hadrien Feraud and I'm only up to track 3. Good so far, sort of an extension of his more latin-sounding late Electric Band work, i.e. Paint the World and To the Stars. ** Update on further listening ** Hadrien continues to shine with loads of great fretless work. Overall I'm now getting a looser early RTF vibe, particularly with the reeds and with the Guitarist Charles Altura not being full on but very subtle - in a good way.

Chris2112 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This tune sounds really dated now (and it is!), but there is no denying that the main guitar theme is genius.

BassBus Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 [url="http://www.bassonthebroadband.com/"]Bass on the Broadband[/url] played a David Hines tune yesterday. Not this one but this is given extra gravitas with Allan Holdsworth on guitar.

Bilbo Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Here is that Steps Ahead track I was talking about: Beirut.. Listen to Brecker's EWI solo at 3.40 and Manieri's synth vibe solo at 5.40. And Daryl Jones munching throughout.

Lowender Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) [quote name='visog' timestamp='1348771878' post='1818068'] This was Jaco wasn't it? Can't imagine he was very fond of it. Hated fusion and said so! Plus it doesn't swing, another bug-bear of his, and a whole other debate. Personally I quite like it. This album's also got Stanley on it singing too on a great track. [/quote] You can't be serious. So I'm going through this thread thinking, yeah, yeah, I used to be impressed with this stuff too but now I know why it doesn't hold me. Compositionally, much of it is weak and repetitive. The playing is excessive and often vulgar and ultimately pretty damn boring. And then that DiMaola track was posted. THAT is epitome of what great fusion is. Astonishing technique and intensity combined with killer grooves, intricate and surprising changes, mastery of complex rhythms and balls to the wall excitement. Not to mention, that may be some of Jaco's best, if not some of THE best bass playing anyone has ever recorded. And the response is "Eh....whatever." Amazing.

Colonel36 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bilbo: I remember the first time I heard that Steps Ahead track, in a music pub in Preston one Sunday night coming out loud over the speakers. I thought it was the most incredible sound I'd ever heard and the whole pub was talking about it after. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
