You know, sometimes trying to find the right adjectives to describe something this good is nothing more than an exercise in futility. In those rare cases where I am speechless, I let my slack jawed, drool covered chin do the talking.

I seriously don't think you are mortal.

I swear that was a goose in there.

At this point, I can only stand and applaud....

and wipe my chin.

Really nice one. I'll take time to listen all your productions. But, yet, it's so good that I've prepared my sono Hi-fi, some coffees. I've closed the windows, and I close my eyes to listen to your world.

Hey mate!...thanks buddy...lol..well I do have a slight fixation with birds..though to get them to cooperate in a live band situation could be problematic,hehe...I guess another factor is I'm a total failure as a vocalist..I would dearly love to be able to sing(like yourself)..but alas what comes out is garbage....cheers Dave :)

Hi planetjazzbass,this is a very unique and 'out there' composition.The urgency of the beat,tempered by the ambient and stark contrasting sounds make this track very engrossing.Finely woven sonic textures and a well balanced mix/recording.Superb stuff. peace and goodwill mate...by the way,whereabouts in Melbourne are u located,I'm out at Skye (near Frankston)cheers

This is the first thing I thought of after the first 45 seconds or so! "This is freaking Amazing"

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (1984, ISBN 0-345-39183-7) is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series written by Douglas Adams. Its title is the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspatial express route, as described in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The phrase has since been adopted by some science fiction fans as a humorous way to say "goodbye" and a song of the same name was featured in the 2005 film adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Arthur Dent has randomly hitch-hiked his way through the galaxy and is dropped off on a planet in the middle of a rainstorm. He quickly realises that he appears to be in the centre of England on the planet Earth, even though he had previously witnessed it being destroyed by the Vogons. Furthermore, while he has been gone for several years, it appears only a few months have passed on Earth. He manages to hitch a ride with a man named Russell, who is driving home his sister Fenchurch (Fenny for short). Russel explains that she had become delusional several months earlier shortly after a worldwide incident involving mass hysteria over the "hallucinations with the big yellow spaceships" (Vogon Ships). Arthur also learns that all the dolphins disappeared shortly after that event. Arthur becomes curious about Fenchurch, but they reach his home before he can ask more questions. Inside his still-standing home, Arthur finds, among a pile of junk mail, a gift-wrapped bowl inscribed with the words "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" which he then uses as a fish bowl for his Babel Fish. That night, Arthur cannot help but consider that Fenchurch is somehow connected to him and to the Earth's destruction, and finds that he still has the ability to fly whenever he lets his thoughts wander.

Hey mate...Cool! I'm a huge fan of the Hitchhicker books..though I've never seen an apparition appear on a cricket pitch!lol (very early in the Guide 's television series,first episode I think)..you gotta hand it to the Brits when it comes to funny whackiness it's more real than real..Slartybartfast I ain't...but thanks for all the reviews! cheers Buddy ;)

Hi mate..thanks for the cool review!...while I have on occasion used freesound.com in the past this particular field recording is actually part of a Vst instrument..XTreme Effects...I use this now exclusively for most of my sound effects as you have complete control over the sounds and it comes with a whopping 4.5GB expandable library...cheers planet :)

So going for a more Classical approach these days I see (lol). My god man, this is perhaps the most original and provocative thing I've heard in the last year (perhaps more).

Heavy Ethnic? Hybrid MetaJazz?

You haven't rattled the cages of genre here, you've undermined the foundations. Amazing.

Not often you'll find me at an utter loss for words, but at this moment language is totally failing. I'll be back with a post-script here, as the attempt will have to be made. I am totally blown away.

Added to favorites.

Thanks Sean..maybe this could be classed as Subcontinent Groove! lol..if my favourite category were listed,as in "Jazz Rock"..everything I do would be filed under that banner...for some weird reason and not through any reticence on my part..all my entreaties to have this genre included have been ignored! lol..there is Jazz there is Rock...there's a world of difference in Jazz Rock...hahaha it's my pet annoyance in the genre lists...cheers mate Dave :)

Not what I was expecting at all, this has a very unique sound to it. I think what really sets this track apart from being a common track is the violin/viola?, the sounds that come from it are very original. Did you play the instrument/vst, or was it a loop/sound sample already created. Anyway, great track, really enjoyed it, thanks for uploading!!!
Planetjazzbass
Planetjazzbass replied Unknown
Hi mate..thank you,all the ethnic parts(violin..no reverb very dry) are played using Best Service 'Orient World' vst (some of the phrases are looped) ...similarly the main synth sound is a lead patch out of Native Instruments Pro53 routed through Absynth 5's effect chain and Wizooverb...these days you can get just about any sound you want..obviously the ambient water fowl backdrop is a field recording..however that also comes from a vst.'ExTreme FX' so I have complete control over the sound envelope..I love this digital age..cheers :)

Thank you Rei...it's inevitable that when you play you impart something of yourself within it....and when someone listens hopefully it comes across....In these days of mistrust and doubt it's great to be able to communicate with a medium that is so expressive and truthful...it's doubly pleasing when you find people that can listen and get on the same wavelength like yourself..cheers mate.

Hey Dave. What a fantastic soundscape. A cornacopoeia of tribal tones in a groove that is infectious. I can evision just by listening the actual views of the river, it's landscape around it. This is definately up there with "Magic Carpet" as one of my favorite tracks of yours. The bass playing is superb as always and blends with the other instruments and loops in an execellent arrangement and production. Bravo bro and congrats ! - Bilbozo

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown
Hey Buddy...thanks man..I think this track is heralding me sliding into a more rock orientated sound for awhile (it's probably due in part to listening to your music! lol)...I hadn't put much guitar in my tracks lately..but you know how it is(none better) when you sling on a six string..you awake the rock genie!..cheers man Dave :)

Super track! It really does convey the feeling of a river journey heading for the persian gulf. Great use of North African rhythms and acapella's and the sonic pastiche including geese
(a group who have previously been under-represented in modern music) is a stroke of genius. Superb!!!

Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.

Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.

After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …

Description : Real acoustic, electric and bass guitars played by me. Drums are loops and programmed MIDI. Played piano and synths. Lots of layers and delay. A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.
