I didn't notice it *as* much in the regular albums, but if anyone has a chance to listen to the acoustic greatest hits album, there are some really nice lines. Fast and fun, I wish I could play them. |

I've always dug the first disc best. The new one is pretty cool too |

Also, from looking at the credits, Seal did some of the bass lines. I saw him in Minneapolis and their sound was PERFECT. I was close to the back and off to the side, too. Clear bass lines and a perfect blend of everything else. |

Great sound, songs, vocals, everything. Basswork is very nice as well (acoustic and fretless, but I can't tell if it's an upright or not). I'll have to check out some of his albums. The Best of double album looks good.

Love paradise
One in and out is gonna make you feel good
Coming at you like a hurricane would
Stay close to me I'll always be by your side
Save it baby you know that it's all right
You remind me of a girl I knew
So beautiful once inside you
You make me feel like I need your love love love
Want to fill me with your love
Fix me with your love all right
