Check out their first two albums. There are great bass lines on them.

f--- yeah john myung kicks ass.
images and words is awesome.

theres some awesome bass in "The Ytse Jam"
metropolis part 1 has some cool bass aswell.

Bah. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment or Ozric
Tentacles.

Now that's musicianship to drool over.

Hell yeah Matt. Could'nt agree more. Ozric has such an amazing sound. It's almost visual, ya know?

Yeah, I do. Neurochasm blows my mind. It's the
kind of stuff you crank and then just sit and feel
the textures roll over your cerebrum.

That song definately moves. Rad's drumming is just plain stupid on that song. He does that floating, off-beat snare fill towards the end of the song, while Ed is in the background speed picking that super high note. After the fill is completed the entire band comes in at the same time and it never ceases to amaze me how creative and unpredictable they can be.

If you have'nt had the chance to listen to The Hidden Step yet check it out and listen to the song entitled Tight Spin (trk. 6). Talk about cerebral.

In another post you were raving about "Massive Attack" and I chortled to myself thinking it was gonna be like some kind of over the top speed metal.

I downloaded "Mezzanine" and was quite surprised. Kindof like Cowboy Junkies, you know? I mean their name doesn't fit their sound at all.

matt.

Did you download the album Mezzanine or just the song? The song is good, but the entire album is great. If you get the chance Matt, check out the songs off that release entitled "Risingson", "Angel", "Dissolve Girl", and "Teardrops". The latter being their main single. Trip-hop type feel. If you end up enjoying this stuff, check out Portishead's release called "Dummy". Pretty similar.

LTE!!!

Joint the club...I have been listening to them since the Images and Words album
