wishface Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I posted this on Talkbass I'm enjoying Return to Forever right now, along with Santana. I love music that has song titles that sound like science fiction and mixed with a spacey sound and a positive vibe. Good bass work is always a plus. I have Mahavishnu. Don't really count Weather Report. Pharaoh Sanders is rea.ly itneresting, but when he overblows I kinda tune out. Love that spacey synth sound though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have their works and enjoy them mightily. They are more dub than jazz funk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well building your RTF, their most funk album is definitely 'No Mystery'... 'Dayride' is a trip in itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Have you checked out Miles Davis’s fusion like Agharta or On the Corner, Live evil. Gongs Shamal album. Also check the Inside from way out - Beastie Boys (instrumental stuff). Some good Headhunters stuff too, Thrust should lube your funk gland 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find B’itchesBrew a bit intense but Agharta is a personal favourite. Edited August 16, 2019 by Raslee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I don't have the LP any more. It was purely because of the cover art that I made the purchase. It took me a while to realise that it was not an image of a spacecraft! I wore out my cassette copy too so the link above was a fortunate find. Even at that quality, it is better than my worn out copy. Toefunk is my favourite track out of the album but the whole thing is a trip. Have fun unscrambling the reverse speech bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's impossible to find anywhere else https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/4281019?ev=rb From https://centraldoprog.blogspot.com/2017/12/visitor-2035-visitor-2035-1978-lp.html "VISITOR 2035 were a short-lived band based in the UK, with the Irishman John Mason and Craig Pruess , an American residing in UK since 1973. Mason is renowned as a member of the Irish top-notch outfit Fruup; Pruess performed with Mike Oldfield and did arrangements for music of Sarah Brightman, Def Leppard and Massive attack, among many others. The band self-released 'Cain! A Modern Mystery Play' in 1976, and released the self-titled album in 1978 for the German label Hansa. The music of Visitor 2035 is heavily rooted in fusion, on the Weather Report/ Return to Forever side, with omnipresent symphonic elements and eerie spacey keyboard textures in Skywhale/ Flight vein. It's recommended to fans of music which is stepping out of the fusion realm, as well as to all fans of good music."

odysseus Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 If you fancy something a bit more trippy, along the Ozrics vein.. try Shpongle. There's a couple of live sets on YouTube as well as albums. ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
