Oh joy! I was going to do a birthday mix to myself to celebrate 50 years exposure to that dang infernal beat music, but instead, I was pleasantly suprised to see that all my pestering has paid off, and I have finally persuaded someone to join MTC. Bobobasso is a member of The Bobcat Blues Band www.bobcatblues.com as am I. He is also a good friend, a rare commodity in these troubled times. This mix is about his instrument of choice, the bass guitar. This is a bass heavy selection for a bass heavy dude!

Track Description:
This mix could not start any other way. The mighty Ox, John Entwistle and (as far as I know) the first bass solo on a hit record! Bobobasso holds himself like Entwistle onstage. (I mean his posture, not that he actually holds himself...you know!) SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Peter Hook, the bass player of Joy Division and New Order has always reminded me of Entwistle. He leads 'Blue Monday' with a gigantic bass riff the way Entwistle led 'My Generation.' Brilliant stuff. SHOW LESS

Track 23 from The Beatles (White Album)
Length: 00:04:28 Year: 1968 |
|
|
Track Description:
Four young lads from Liverpool who changed the world blah blah blah. Yeah we know, but one aspect of the whole thing that is not made enough of is the revolutionary effect McCartney's bass playing had on modern popular music. Here it is a big booming monstrosity, just what was needed. On other fab four stuff, he darts in and out of the melody, goes up on the octave, fills out the sound. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
I see a lot of McCartney's bass influence on Roger Waters of the Floyd. No flash, just simple notes that fill in the holes in that trademark sound. I always wanted to use this part way through a mix, rather than at the beginning! SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait
Length: 00:05:04 Year: 0000 |
|
|
Track Description:
And for me at least, a logical progression from Floyd is Mogwai. Dominic Aitchison is a very supportative bass player, but he comes through with a few fills, and his contribution helps build the texture of the beautiful sound they make. I am suprised that the 'Zidane' soundtrack albujm was not listed up here, I find it entrancing. SHOW LESS

Track 4 from Idlewild South
Length: 00:06:56 Year: 1970 |
|
|
Track Description:
When Duane Allman died in a biker accident it was a tragedy for music, but so was the motorbike related death of Allman's bass player Berry Oakley. He was key to their improvised sound. On this instrumental, the music flows because of his interaction with the twin drummers and the rest of the band. He has an almost jazz feel without actually being a jazz player. SHOW LESS

Track 8 from Cities Of The Heart (Disc 2)
Length: 00:05:49 Year: 0000 |
|
|
Track Description:
Jack Bruce is another guitarist my friend Dick worked with. In fact they were in two bands together before Bruce joined Cream, and worked many times with each other after Cream were no more. This was a song Bruce first recorded with Cream, but I prefer this live solo version. The bass riff dominates the song alongside Bruce's powerful vocal. Awesome stuff. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
JJ Burnel shows us what the Doors might have sounded like if they had employed a proper bass player and not just Ray Mazarek's foot pedals. Trippy new wave bass playing at it's finest, oddly reminiscent of Chris Squire actually. SHOW LESS

Last word to Entwistle, 'The Ox'. Welcome to MTC my friend Mr Bobobasso. This was only ever meant to be a troll through some bass playing I like, not a 'best of bass' thing, so if your favorite is not here, I am sorry. (I'm not really!) SHOW LESS
