Most bass albums bore me to tears but these are exceptional. |

So does any of yous, care to describe the music of your favorite solo albums? i have hard time beleiving that geezer butler, and entwhistle made something other than rock albums, but i don't trust that they didn't either.

I think it's just a brilliant album, the whole sound I can only describe as hypnotic, it's very repetitive, but for a band that is only a rhythm section they make it work. And he did it all without flashy solos and slapping. |

Mick Karn - Titles (ambient exotic atmospheric 3rd-World squiggly neo-funk)
Bill Laswell - Baselines (skronky downtown avant-jazz/noise-punk)
Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water (classic 70's British prog-rock w/ orchestra)
Tony Levin - Waters Of Eden (New Age/adult-contemporary instrumental rock)
and I'll mention Jaco's eponymous Bobby Colomby-produced debut, more for its historical import than for the listening pleasure derived from it. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Tempe, Arizona, USA | | | Chris Squire - Fish Out of Water -nails the proverbial "epic feel" better than most Yes albums
John Enwhistle - Too Late The Hero -with Joe Walsh & Joe Vitale of the Eagles; fun stuff, and a couple of cover-worthy tunes: Talk Dirty & Dancin' Master
Jaco Pastorius - his self-titled first album is still a monster
Jack Bruce - Shadows in the Air -fretless Warwick yumminess
