im not into the tone of Alembic's but for looks the Rouge 5 string is gorgeous. still would not pay anywhere near the price that there asking for there instruments. just like Fodera. you can get just as good for half the price. but if thats your bag and you got the coin. this bass is gorgeous though.

he's obviously a Pino fan. but i think his playing is great. you might say that he's playing every note to the letter, but it highlights for me how good pino palladino's bass playing is. .people who play covers can only get so good, i know, but its still great to hear a bassist doing something well. i was waiting to hear how he executed the fantastic fills that Pino plays on this record, and he doesnt let down. great playing from Miki Santamaria. and a lovely tone from that Pino Custom shop.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1396185859' post='2410708'] Quality. You are clearly a scholar and a gentleman, bubinga5. [/quote]well i wouldn't go that f…. ok then, yes i am. thank you my friend, maybe not the scholar bit.

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]if there is one Chaka Khan record that i have been searching for its this Rufus/Chaka record.,i heard it years ago. and i could never remember what it was called. fortunately i have friends in funky places and they posted the record to me. it is for me, a fabulously cool funky soul record. the horns are just amazing for me. you might think differently but i love it all the same.

[quote name='Mr H' timestamp='1396131974' post='2410348'] b5, that interview was fantastic - I just sat and watched the whole thing, and loved every minute. Thanks for posting it. The book is great, by the way, so look out for it. [/quote]yeah I'm so with you Mr H. i found i fascinating also. he's one of the greats. I'm really glad you enjoyed it friend.

well I'm going to be be rude. tell them to f*** off.. its about the music. we all know that . bit of a sad bunch looking at music through image.. i would say.. Goodbye.

i think i posted this before in one of my heavy nights. but f*** it, I'm sure some people will still appreciate it. this guys drumming is just fantastic in my opinion. it must be a joy to play bass along to his drumming. the music is great also.. Rasmus Faber on vocals.. the PB Underground if anyone is interested. the great Matt cooper of Incognito fame on piano. his drumming at the end is very very good...

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1396125510' post='2410277'] Rap is just a vocal style. Hip Hop is a genre of music in which rap is commonly featured. You can have rap without the song being hip-hop (see: John Barnes' legendary rap in World In Motion) [/quote]thankyou for correcting me. you are very astute in your correction of what i said.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1396116372' post='2410132'] Love this stuff. Here's one of my faves - Q-Tip with J Dilla on sampling duties [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhumw8f_SB4[/media] [/quote]Damn! that is very cool. love it.

one of the best things in my life are The Herbaliser. this is the real sh*t.!!! it really is the sh*t.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_abfF3m5cms

that Kid Frost track is very cool buddy.

Digital Underground you say Ro Ri. great stuff bro. they were an amazing hip hop act. now were talking. if you wanna go old school lets go X Clan. Sampled from Roy Ayers's track Red Black and Green. 'Raise the Flag' from the X Clan. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqm3dywX2bA[/media]

hip hop is not a way of life for me, but i can hear why it is for some. a moron compared to Chris Hitchens, but still a GREAT clever rapper [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5vw4ajnWGA[/media]

I've heard of them Ro Ri, and they are very cool, but its not really my bag. this is though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2MKMsK4BYU

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1396092059' post='2409825'] I have only one hiphop record which I still like and play occasionally: [media]http://youtu.be/95gP3m-uBHA[/media] I've gotta admit I'm attracted to the spooky atmospheres and loops rather than the lyrics [/quote] Spoombung that is without doubt. my favourite hiphop record ever recorded. !!! this track is in mine and lots of old school hip hop friends of mine, the holy grail of funk hip hop. i too love the spooky atmospheric feel to this record. but i really dig the groove, and the epic way that Rakim spits those lyrics. he's a real master at that style. its a seminal hip hop album in my opinion. this is no doubt the sh*t.!
