Belka Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 This is superb - great song with a sublime bassline. It sounds like a late '70s Jazz to me - have been chasing this tone for a while. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acebassmusic Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 That's great. Never heard of him before. Seems very tongue in cheek but he really can play bass...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belka Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Aside from the nice basses (I can see a vintage Smith in the video posted above), he has a collection of rare vintage synths and drum machines, so all those early '80s sounds are really authentic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Genuine question, because I can't tell - is this played straight faced, or is he a supremely talented musician electing to use a comedy persona? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of the latter I think - it's definitely a persona (Donny Benet is not his real name), but I think he's serious about the music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskwave Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It's good but that production is still not as lush as anything from the early 80's which I presume is the time its trying to emulate. Proof tape and old school studio skill are a rare thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
