Every once in a blue moon an album comes out and the bass blows me away - the sound, the playing, the place in the mix etc. So much of the time, I find bass playing on albums a bit boring, or it's pretty lost in the mix. And they something comes along that knocks my socks off and really inspires me!

 

OK, so needless to say I bought one such album recently. Firstly I have to warn you that it is the most unfashionable of genres - Prog, but wow, this record blows my socks off!

 

The band are somewhat under the radar - Lifesigns

Their third album - Altitude

The bass player - better known for his playing with Cardiacs - Jon Poole

 

Also, if you love a heart achingly beautiful guitar solos, the song Last one home from the album is just superb and has a really emotive solo.

 

Anyway, here's a taster on Youtube if anyone is interested:

Oh, I like that - a lot! I hear Yes, Flying Colours and Dream Theatre in there, all of which is good. I saw John Young playing keyboards for Quango (basically Asia without Downes and Howe) many years ago and they were excellent. Thanks for sharing.
