Yes, that's great - but did you know that the second half of it is the first half played in reverse? The recording of it is played in reverse, I mean.

Is the bass in "Al" not done on a sequencer rather than a "real" bass anyway?

If that's a real bass I'm very impressed by the player's skill.

No, as far as I recall from a programme I watched on the making of the Graceland album, the bass is actually played, but as I said, the first half of the solo is forwards and the second half is the same bit of recording flipped over so it plays in reverse. The line always freaked me out before I discovered this because I couldn't imagine the talent needed to play something so unique and original.

Just played the track on the CD and also had a look at the booklet. Baghiti Khumalo was the bass player responsible and everything points to him doing it without any electronic trickery.

I can only dream about that talent........

And Khumalo and the other poor buggers who basically created the music on that album got a poxy session fee and no royalty. Exploitation at its worst.

Looking back over Sti-Frenchie's selection I love all the ones I've heard of, which is about 50%.

There are too many to list. I liked a lot of Mark King could do from Level 42, if only I was as good as him *sigh*...

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but what about the bass break in the middle of Queen of the stone ages 'No one knows'

Also featuring some great drum solos from Dave Grohl of course.

You're not wrong, probably a bit discordant for the popular music fans on here though

Yes, that's excellent - terrific use of echo on that.

Damned good call sir


Since the recorded version of Waterfront is considerably different from what they played live, and that change coincided with a change of bass player, I would suggest that John Giblin brought the Floyd influences
