| | Impersonal Confuser. | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Fresno, CA | | I'm a huge TM / Kevin Gilbert fan. The guy was a flat out brilliant musician. Most all of his recording are available on line. If you don't have it, get "The Shaming Of The True" album. You won't regret it. It is the last thing he was working on before he died.
PS. If you like Pratt's bass work, get the old Icehouse album Measure For Measure. His work on that is superb!

| | | "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" by Frank Zappa. The bass really made the album. I can't think of a song with a more bad-ass, rocking low-end groove than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxp0keEJt9M
And even though this song was most notable for debuting Moon Unit's vocals, the bass is totally in-your-face while still being groovy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnVE3...eature=related

| | | | I'm glad Dada was brought up. Awesome stuff there. I'd say "Parallels" by Fates Warning has some great fretwork by Joey DiBiase. |

An overlooked album in general.

Amazing songs, production, bass work. Just completely killer.

Co-founder. GrabAxe | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: L.A. Harbor | | | Third Matinee also had some great bass form Jimmy Johnson and I think Guy Pratt as well.
Not as edgy and dark as TM but some beautiful stuff.
Immediately Lenny Whites "Streamline" comes to mind. IIRC it was the debut of Marcus and he already had it ALL worked out.
The same goes with Gary Numans "I Assassin". Pino sounds at the top of his game right off the bat.
Prefab Sprout- interesting rhy section. "Jordan-the Comeback" had some very cool minimal but smart parts going on.
Also some of those Cameo records had amazing bass parts, especially the funk ballads like "Groove with You". |

| | | | All American Girls - Sister Sledge. Randy Jackson was masterful and overall imho this album with Narada Michael Walden pound for pound trumps any of their other albums, even those with Nile and Bernard.
