thepurpleblob Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Let the arguments about solo bass playing begin If you want my opinion (and it is just my opinion).... Like most things of this ilk it's impressive but dull. I wouldn't want to listen to it twice (or even once all the way through). Give me a good tune you can hum along to any day!!

Annoying Twit Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 But surely you can hum along with the melody line that Eno sings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Now there's a blast from the past! Obviously, bass has come a long way since then though I have to say I remember this track as much for it's take as a cover of the Beatles original, plus the fact it was one of my first introductions to drummer Simon Phillips.

ahpook Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) it sounds like steve hillage !!!!! i half expected the toothy noodler himself to start singing about fish, or ley lines. it's not a bad version in as much any re-doing of 'tomorrow never knows' is worthwhile...it's a popular cover, but imho always a bit like doing phillip glass on solo kazoo.

risingson Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Love, love Brian Eno and actually it's an interesting take on a tune that would otherwise to my mind be un-coverable. I like the production of it as well, the bass is too far out in the mix though for my tastes (but I guess that's the point). Not something in reality I would ever find myself listening to though, it's just not my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kongo Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Almost ran away when the Radio One voice started advertising artists I dont care much of! STOP advertising this to me! But I survived and listened...Yeah I hear nothing wrong with this, has groove and ambience. I'd get bored of it after a few listens but it's good background music, not really one for headphone use.
