Kylie Minogue "Spinning around" bassist?

Hi Guys/gals,
I've recently had to learn the bass line for the Kylie Minogue "I'm spinning around" track (you know the one with the video of her weraing those golden short shorts.....mmmmm) and that bassline is SICK!!!, God allmighty thats a great bassline, question is Who played it?? I have a sneaking suspicion it was either Guy Pratt (there are some licks very reminiscent of Sophie Ellis Bextors murder on the dance floor) or Incognito's Randy Hope Taylor..

any ideas?

According to artistdirect.com, Phil Spalding is credited with Bass throughout the album from which the single was taken.

WOW this dude has been busy (robbie williams, kylie, randy crawford, bernie torme, dubstar....etc etc..) I know his name from somewhere else and I'm wracking my brains as to where..

Anyone got anymore info on this guy???

The funny thing is more and more studios are using pro-tools and sampled bass for a lot of rock/pop tracks whereas some of the best live basslines at the moment can be found on dance tracks....

bizarre

Phil Spalding is a great bassist and played on loads of stuff - almost a successor to Herbie Flowers in that respect. You might know him from the early 80s when he was a bona-fide member of the Toyah band (Anthem/Changeling) before moving on to Mike Oldfield (both groups with mega-drummer Simon Phillips) and then GTR with Steve Hackett and Steve Howe.

Back in the 80s he was a Precision player (black/maple) before playing Steinberger.
