The bassline from 'Spectrum', by Herbie Hancock. That's a pretty cool steal.

It is actually "Stratus" from Bill Cobham's "Spectrum". Bass by Leland Sklar. Here He is doing a play over (Sorry to Derail the Reggae RB)

Massive Attack sampled Stratus. Dug Wimbish played it on the Horace Andy Album

Great info sonic 👍

Here is some Old School Reggae from 1969 that has been "borrowed" & sampled a lot including the Staple Singers (1972)

I don’t know spectrum, Horace Andy’s safe from Harm is a version of the track by Massive Attack , which is also great 

 

yap, the Massive Attack one contains the sample from Stratus by Billy Cobham

That's right! I always do that... Thanks for the fix 

[Count Bassie]

...and thank you @Sonic_Groovealso for the correction... And I didn't know that was Lee Sklar on it, alright.

No problem we are all here to learn. I get stuff mixed up all the time! It is easy to confuse/mix Herbie's Chameleon with Stratus both the same year & both from the same Jazz Fusion/Miles Davis background

[Reggaebass]

I remember buying this album a long time back, just had to turn this track up

 @Sonic_Grooveokay duplicate comment, I can't seem to work out how to delete it. Lol, I feel a little like a non-playable character in a video game trying to participate...

Max Romeo, great dub at 3.38

Quite liked the original version of this (Thom Yorke's side project) but Dennis Bovell has really moved it up to another level. Not the most Reggae of offerings on here, but it is Bovell and I like it!

Bassline is inspired by "Come Go With Me" by the Staple Singers....

Too good to be forgotten? They were much better than this - got to blame the Management and record Company.
