Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

[steubig]

Wow. It is a really small world. Did you like Andrews? Nice guy? Rock dork? Was the video good?

very nice guy. i jammed with him and the original drummer (at least a guy who was the of drummer in band that became failure?) at one point.

video wasn’t bad. low budget. got a digi copy of it recently. it’s not completely embarrassing.

I may be the only person on this thread who likes space rock,

Nope. Not the only one. I think "space rock" is just psychedelic rock with a touch of prog nerdiness to it. Hawkwind and early Pink Floyd come to mind, followed by some more recent favorites of mine such as Radar Men From the Moon and Yuri Gagarin.

i put an alb track (we were on a&m for a minute) and a non-alb track on my soundcloud page. pretty different from what i do now.

Immediately clicks "play" and zero surprise at the first minute of sound.

Cool. Reminds me of Rush in the Fly By Night era, specifically the slow solo on By-Tor and the Snow Dog.

Are you trying to get kicked out of the club?!?!

So, I’m returning that Pyle power supply. I decided to cough up the dough for a Furman rack mount supply which should be here tomorrow. I’ve also picked up a couple Furman power strips and have those in hand. Man, they feel pretty solid, and the plugs fit solidly. It’s comforting knowing I’ve got a bit of extra protection between the wall and my collection of gadgets.

Rush did their share of "space rock" / 70s metal back in the day. If this gets me kicked out, I'll be kicked out happy.

Good morning. Would you like to throw up a little bit in your mouth? If so, click this link for a synth made by a car company and a whole heap of bull**** to go with it.

I’m surprised they didn’t manage to work in an NFT somehow. Wow. Pink noise, 120 bpm, and samples.

I watched Rosemary's Baby last nights. Lots of Yamaha product placement there.

True, but Yamaha makes instruments for reasons other than advertising its motorcycles. It also doesn't spew this kind of BS:

'"We found that people were more creative when they had listened to the songs... you could see increased alpha and theta power, a coherence of brainwaves seen and increased connectivity, particularly connecting the occipital and frontal parts of the brain, where our emotional control center is situated, and the areas connected to increased creativity and flow states."

It's like a paragraph version doge meme.

of course.

we live in a time where hor$esh!t masquerades as deep thinking and truth.
