These guys are great. Solid, fun live show... drummer and bassist are great. I like the bassists musical judgement and execution. Never heard of them until I found them mentioned in a Craigslist ad (granted, I mainly listen to modern metal). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTdR6...eature=related

I find it similar to the old Bernard Edwards/Chic thing as far as bass groove/discipline goes. I haven't kept up with the last few discs but the older stuff was goin to school. |

My all time favorite is their first album. Only 3 vocal tracks, the rest is instrumental, some of the best bass grooves I've ever heard.
The band seems to be kinda unknown in the US, I'm surprised some say they only heard of them recently.
Shame RHT doesn't do much these days. |

For some reason I was under the impression it was their first album.
Anyway, great stuff. |

| | | | Then there is 'Inside life' with Randy as well.
I think that's the second one. No?

I got into them from hearing a couple of tunes on the Weather Channel, of all things.

| | | | If you can find it you should also check out "Jazz in the present tense" by Solsonics
Other worth listening is Galliano, The New Matersounds, and Quantic | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
