DC Ross Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've been playing along with a lot of Sarah McLachlan's tunes for a couple of years now, and I've never known who the bassist was. My two favourite tunes are Posession and Fallen. Anyone know who plays on these two tracks? It's not simple to be simple. -H.

g. Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Possession was Brain Minato, I dunno about the other. But Brian Minato and Pierre Marchand seem to be the two on most of her albums. ...google is still around, I hear... AMG? Don't take AMG as gospel. Some of the credits info is just shoveled in there and a lot of mistakes are made; the reviewers may be dedicated but they have their fixations ; } - a popular one being that the ones that sold the best are usually the best. The best thing is that it supplies a reference point to discographies. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklab Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Tony Levin and Jim Creggan also have some recording credits with her, too. Her website actually has some info on the people who have played on her records.

Tom Capasso Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I've always wondered what contribution Brian M and Pierre M were making. The live album (Mirrorball) is obviously Brian, but who wrote the parts? Possession is a very cool bit of work. I like Sweet Surrender, but can't stop myself from changing the part a bit. There are times when he is playing a pattern using quarter notes, and times he doesn't - I find I keep repeating the quarter pattern continuously - it just feels more "driving" that way. While most of the bass parts on the Afterglow album (Tony Levin) are pretty good, I don't see that it's such a big improvement from the other guys. Of course that's just what I hear without knowing any of the reasoning why Levin was brought in. That said, Fallen gets to me. When I'm done practicing music for my band, I put that on about half the time and play along. What a great part (to the point that I almost don't hear the "song"). While some of Sarah's music doesn't call for anything outstanding on bass, there are plenty of great parts. I really enjoy her work.

jeremy c Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Not to be a grump or anything, but a question was asked. Answers were given. I didn't notice anything else to discuss. Allmusic.com was given as a source. It's a good one and I use it all the time but it's not always accurate. As a matter of fact, they credited the bass playing on a cd that I played on to a violinist who has the same name as me and despite my writing them they never changed it. Free download of my cd!.
