Love this album:

 

An underviewed gem!

Q: Is the image in your sig from Ozric Tentacles (one of my all-time favs!)? Or Gong? Gotta be one of the two. Of course, I've been wrong before. For example, I have 3 ex's.

Yes definitely a gem!

It's Ozrics...speaking of which could we get away with this here? This is my usual soundcheck bass line 😂

Ooh yes, that is a nice grove there! Thanks!

 

One more I find fun to play... I like how he spreads out the silecnces in that specific way... making the 1's heavier by not playing.... and just refrains from playing a lot, just playing whatever he plays with this super heavy authority... reggae as it should be imo ... Excuses for the weird video.... but I liked the sound here :)

There’s a nice laid back drum beat on this one lowbelow 🙂

 

Love it! One man rhythm section! Like Nick Mason said, "a band is drums and bass and assorted novelty instruments". Terrific video editing, too.

My first introduction to serious reggae this track. The only other reggae or reggae-ish track that I'd heard and liked (loved actually) was Althea & Donna's Uptown Top Ranking, a track I'm still crazy about, which was released in 1977, Cocaine in my Brain was released a year earlier in 76 but I didn't hear it until after Uptown TR. Funnily enough there was, obviously, a lot of Bob Marley around but somehow his utter brilliance alluded me. Then I heard Handsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse and then the first three LKJ albums and suddenly the reggae world opened up in colour... I'm rambling and repeating myself. In short Dillinger - Cocaine in my Brain, very important track for me that.

The Uptown Top Ranking (totally love that song BTW) reminds me of the kebab shop I saw in the Spanish town of Altea.

Well it amused me enough to take a pic anyway!

I’m quite an Alborosie fan and there’s some great bass on his albums , this is one of my favourites, 

And this one with alborosie on vocals with Raging Fyah, and Delroy Hamilton on bass, it’s a great one to play

Careful though- too many kebabs could give you heart attack.

Probably my favourite from the Upsetters camp

Good tune, coincidentally last night I was playing the bass to this, it’s a song by max romeo with the upsetters,

and I really like this too with tiken  jah fakoly, and Robbie Shakespeare on bass
