Phil W Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I am loving the album, anyone else digging it?Great stuff. Lovely big article in Bassplayer too.I've probably played the record most days since I got it.

Phil W Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 If you haven't heard him he's Stephen Bruner who has played with Snoop Dogg, Suicidal Tendencies, Flying Lotus, Miguel Atwood Ferguson etc mainly on the LA scene. On this live performance he uses a second bassist. On the CD he sings and plays lead, chordal and bass bass.The grooves are magical and hint at a range of soul, jazz, 80s electro and 70s influences. You can hear a touch of Stanley in his sound but he has his own style. Great advanced harmonies on the reoord and memorable tunes.Hadrien Feraud also plays on one track. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraub Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thundercat? I think I'll call myself Breezepossum. Don't know what you had before, but Breezepossum is just awesome. I think I'll go with something different, like Tidalsloth or Climatologicalturtle or Snowmonkey or something. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Phil W Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks 'Breezepossum', each to his own. I guess it just resonates a lot with me - a lot of what I enjoy listening to (70s fusion, instrumental hip-hop or electronic stuff, soul and funk) is reflected in his music. Russell, did you get to hear it yet? Man, I never even saw the Thundercat cartoons - I'm too old! Or was it Thundercat that He-man rode on? I remember that (though i wasn't a kid even when that was on) - I remember She Ra had the way better theme song! http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russkull Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Russell, did you get to hear it yet? Yes - I listened through everything here and then ran through the Thundercat playlist on YouTube. To be honest I'm on the fence. I enjoyed some of it very much, and the other stuff that was more like Flying Lotus didn't grab me at all. I will probably pick up the CD anyway, because that's just the type of guy I am. Also, there's something different about listening to stuff in the car or at home rather than on the computer at work, and things usually grow on me a lot more after repeating listenings.

Another topic... Yes, some sounds very like the Flying Lotus album he played on. The first time I listened was on spotify at work and I was not blown away at all. Later when I listened to the download on headphones it blew me away so I think you have something there. The last album I wasn't sure of on first listening but later adored btw was d'angelo's Voodoo (on an ancient hifi on low volume so there you go. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I like listening to Voodoo as well and think the bass playing is groundbreaking. But there aren't really any songs on it, just kind of rambling jams (which sound as if everyone is stoned out of their gourd) and if D'Angelo is a good singer, you wouldn't know it by this recording. back to the extraneous thread which really isn't about Thundercat at all. Yes, he can play, no question about it. I'm waiting for some coherent compositions. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
