"Bass Madman. This Cat Smokes
Wild almost frantic boiling over composition with all ears on this bass mans work. Great Song keep up the good work. - BlueMilesBand, Stockton, California, May 28th, 2007 ""This song has a great groove to it already. I love the percussion going on here, and the bass guitarist is fantastic! The slapped stuff sounds awesome!
I have not honestly been this impressed by a bassist in a long time. This is insane! Wow. Nothing I can say will even do this song any justice. That bass stuff is absolutely insane. Keep doing your thing, its obviously working.
- proghairfunk, Townsend, Delaware, May 26th, 2007""Cool funky stuff
This bass is hitting, like the dual bass thing, nice drum and bongos reminds of Stanley Clarke. This is good stuff.
- MotownMoe from Canton, Michigan on 12May2007""Very powerful
very powerful mix and arrangement. The sound coems straight in your face, and I like when jazz has also an impact. I would say the song has been written by a bass player... And of course the bass is outstanding! Great playing and good sound. - AuraNoctis from United Kingdom on 6May2007""jazz/rock fusion
a perky, punchy track with emphasis on bass guitar. great chops on the bass, and great bass chording. great drums as well! the melody is essentially many smaller motifs phrased, with some resolve, and nice breaks. good arrangement. could be a bit tighter, but still a great performance. nice ending.
- knightdavid from Unspecified on 9Mar2007""Really cool groove, dig it!
Awesome bass! I enjoyed this song. Bass and drums, very cool! Great sense of melody and harmony structure. Performance was top notch. How do I get ahold of this cat to play on my CD?
