Nice guitar work, all the little swirly synth bits too! Cool riff when that sustained piano come in, like that a lot. So many sounds effortlessly drifting in and out give it that great psychedelic funk vibe. Awesome collab, I enjoyed listening to that! :)

Hey Dave

Your bass playing never ceases to amaze!! This is s virtuoso performance of some considerable worth. You and your partner Zappo are just having a "conversation" and it punctuated by the Miles Davis style trumpet part that fits so nicely. That rhythm guitar riffing is lovely and syncopates with the kit and your bass perfectly.

We MUST do a collab SOON!

Great stuff Dave. It's a breath of fresh air here on the Loop.

Best

per ususal, you are an inspiration to the rest of the loop. I love the way you mix your bass guitar in with your work, with the stereo panning and whatnot. really makes it sound nice and large, and fitting.

makes me want to stick around this spot :) glad to see you're still active. it really does make my heart warm up a bit. cheers, dave :) maybe I'll send you a project for you to rip bass or guitar over soon!

Pretty tasty piece of music guys, wouldn't expect anything else really. Big mix, everything shines through cleanly. Some cool reversed guitar.? Keys were splendid especially liked the piano, nice choice of different keys, well played and mixed in. Bass, outstanding as usual pal! The horns were a cool add, reverb puts them in the mix well.

Great overall feel to the track, first one of the day for me, got me movin' and groovin'!

Hope all is well in the land of Oz!

...and you top the whole production off by managing to get that elusive live sound...not much to say Dave...just total funky goodness (with a wee sprinkle of jazz) that sounds great..appreciate the intricacy of the mix...the funky rhythm guitar...the bass that is always something special in your compositions...the extra tasty chords backing the event..the hammond style organ with a bit of key attack...hell..its all just good...I have been royally entertained this evening....bravo...Ed

This is really beautiful music. So many instruments, yet everything blends so well. I was especially thrilled by the trumpet starting at 05:07. Very deep.

Planetjazzbass replied 9th Aug 2015 - 9 years ago
Hey LosCoz thanks man!..Detlef(Zappo) has a fantastic feel to his brass playing via his midi keyboard and trumpet vst's,you'd swear he'd been playing in a horn section for years...again thank you very much for the kind words! cheers Dave and Detlef :)

So I played this last night and needed a few hours to absorb what I just listened too. Fantastic work. The arrangement, the instruments the production, the composition itself, the instrument choices all brilliant in there execution. The sustained low piano notes lend a nice ominous effect on the tune. I liked that as well as the space (rotary?) Hammond organ. Reverse guitars reminded me a bit of Phil Manzanera and your Bass was sublime and funky. Fav'd and downloaded (TY)

Hey Steve thanks man!..I'm not sure exactly what vst's Zappo uses with his midi keyboard,though I'm thinking your spot on with the Hammond rotary....I always really dig his instrumentation especially the horn parts he plays,you'd be stretching to improve on them with a real horn section!...thanks again for your kind words mate..cheers Dave and Detlef. :)

hello Dave,

this is really a great collaboration! The tone of your bass is full of harmonics and space, I really enjoy that a lot. Playing is so fine and it gets even more funky around 4:10 when using more slappy technique. Zappo's multiinstrumental work is impressive as always. Great music!

Best to you, Alex

Planetjazzbass replied 8th Aug 2015 - 9 years ago
Thanks Alex!...I've always found funky style fun to play,I guess it was a pretty popular genre back in the day,and people still like it today it seems! lol...I saw Tower of Power in Paris back in the 70's,they were great with a big horn presence in the choruses,funk will never go out of fashion I think (and hope)..all the best Dave and Detlef :)

Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.
