The drummer learned this on a plane ... without a drum set
Man, I just saw a video on that - just crazy!! 🤙
Do you have a link to the vid, please!!
@@mattbutterworth ua-cam.com/video/EvxN7wCjSis/v-deo.html they talk about it in here a little bit, I think this was on the DVD about the album.
@@windack768 Thank you :)
Let me correct this statement...
He learned the ENTIRE SET on the plane trip there, not just lingus
Whenever youtube throws one of these lingus reaction videos at me I just HAVE to listen to the whole keyboard solo, it's too good
same !! :) haha
Same dude. I've watched 3 lingus reactions today lol
Do you regularly skip your music?
oui, oui, et oui, this solo is dope !
FACTS!!
"Everyone is equal in a band like this" yes, but Larnell Lewis is slightly more equal lol. And the keyboardist is insane too.
Can't sleep on this bassist either. He freaking arranged the whole thing cues all the sections.
Keyboardist is Cory henry is one of the best actually.
Keyboard is Cory Henry. He and larnell are crazy
Jordan Larson michael league made snarky puppy lol
Larnell is great but a ton of great musicians in this band
The way that the horns drag is just some of the heaviest shit I’ve ever heard.
It is! Though for dragging horns check the last parts of "I wish" by Stevie Wonder again too...
Nailed it
Some of the best performances I ever heard the artist was drunk. The whole horn section bin' doing some sippin'
So much swagger.
Blows my freaking mind how TOGETHER the section is doing that, good lord
When Corey Hernry plays his solo, we are all Shaun Martin.
Dude has a couple of Grammy awards to his name. If HIS head is blown...this video should come with a disclaimer.
Disagree. He is one of the very few who understood where he was going with his solo. The only genuinely shocked part by Shaun is when Corey started soloing with both hands. Shaun wasn't expecting that. But, if anyone knows Shaun's credentials and his work, he wasn't in awe. As a musician, when I first saw the keyboard solo, I was doing the same thing as Shaun. Which was watching Corey's hands, and figuring out where he was going to go. Of course, im on a much smaller level haha, but musicians do this.
shaum canrt see that ... cory makes him problems ;-)
@@benstolz6503 excuse my ignorance, what 3 notes phrase are you referring to?
Yes!!!
Never forget, Larnell Lewis (drummer) was called into cover for their other drummer with something like 36 hours notice (it actually was likely less than that). He learned the entire album while on a flight to London on his way to record this. His playing is absolutely free of any ego at all. Every decision he makes is to support the rest of the band. Every little micro idea he plays with is done with absolute intention and focus. Cory is a god on the keys. Larnell knew how to match his intensity and bring it up. So great! He's also one of the nicest dudes on the planet.
Wow, Jared! What a compliment to Larnell -- "His playing is absolutely free of any ego at all!" For a creative artist that is very hard to pull off, but you encapsulated his humanity with the stroke of a keyboard!
Beautifully put
Astounding
Yeah man. You nailed it. The intersection of genius in this performance...
Yes! I never heard of him til I saw the video where he plays Enter Sandman after a single listen. I was immediately hooked but then he spoke and i fell in love haha it’s obvious he is extremely down to earth and seems like an amazing person on top of his talent also.
He was offered a tour w Drake a bunch of years ago. He accepted, not really knowing much about Drakes tunes. When he got the tour tunes and started to listen to them, he realized he made a mistake. The lyric content was against his morals so he dropped out. Now that’s some serious morals. It made me respect him even more, beyond his skills as a drummer.
Listening to that keyboardist’s solo feels like listening to someone with an infinite vocabulary. You don’t know what they’re saying, but it sounds good, and you know just enough of the words to realize he is making sense. What’s more important is that you can tell, both by the reactions of the people in the room and by you, is that he pulled off something amazing. The gap between what I’m hearing and what I can understand is great, but I know I can shrink it with effort and time. Lots of effort. Lots of time. And maybe not even then, but damn it I’ll try.
"infinite vocabulary" very well described! :)
Cory Henry is an Church Kid that was playing the B3 as a 4 year old. So his chops and fast runs is all soul. When I hear him play it really reminds me of Spain by Chic Corea
You don't need to force yourself too hard to understand music. It's not like decoding a poem. You should listen with your emotions.
@@BrunoNeureiter At the risk of sounding elitist, you need both good technical and emotional understanding to really appreciate music of this level. Quite a few listens too.
Not unlike how you would need a good vocabulary and understanding of human psychology to really understand Descartes or Nietzsche and quite a few reads.
Pentatonics, side-shifting, melodic development of motifs, Barry Harris 6th diminished.
R.I.P. to Eric Hartman(engineer). He was a vital piece of Snarky Puppy, and a good man.
He's dead? Screw you guys, I'm going home.
I didn’t know that - that’s so sad. May he Rest In Peace.
Corey Henry is the keyboard wizard on that solo....
Damn...
I NEVER get tired of hearing this piece of art!
I've lost count the amount of times I've played this song and I still hear new things I didn't notice before everytime I listen. Such art!!! 😍
His solo gospel album is pretty dope.
Too bad he didn’t break off and do his own thing straight nasty fusion like yesteryear - the neo soul was the route he went
He's reading the universe and translating for us.
How could you?
Larnell Lewis, the man playing the drum kit who is shown the most had to learn the parts for this performance over the course of his seven hour plane ride to Europe where this was taking place. They're all fantastic musicians but that really blew me away.
Fun tidbit about this info too is from an interview or bts scene with Michael League talking about how they were playing the songs without Larnell due to his cab being late or something. And while they were rehearsing the parts as a group without the drums they felt this would never work.
In comes Larnell who learned everything in sub-double digit hours and suddenly everybody felt the flow.
@Preston Garvey Shame although a lot of people are bummed out about losing jobs or loved ones, sorry but life can be OK still if we can still appreciate this banging music my brother.
@Preston Garvey he is probably the drummer I look up to the most. his feel for groove is absolute, and his ability to combine aspects of metal, funk, jazz, and some EDM aspects into his drumming is insane. as a drummer my self, (who has been playing for 8 years, but only has been trying to get good for like 3-4 of them) I can only dream of getting as good as him one day.
@Preston Garvey I feel you bro. I had my ticket on the same tour for Marseille. Still pissed off.
I think what he said was that on that 7 hour flight he composed the vast majority of the album, Larnell is amazing drummer
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Michael League, the bassist, writes and arranges most of this - if I'm not mistaken. This is all his brainchild. Hell of a brain.
Check out the band League created called Bokante. Amazing!! He has such a talent for bringing in the finest musicians around the world. "Bokante- Fanm" ua-cam.com/video/329B4a101No/v-deo.html
I completely agree. what I really admire about ML compositions is how much of a back seat the bass takes! so many bass players who compose, basically write bass solos with some chords around them! I've bought so many crap "sideman" albums but ML really does "compose" (and the stuff he composes is fantastic!)
Vous avez raison. Mais ce tune a été écrit par Justin Stanton, le trompettiste-claviériste avec un gilet rayé.
If you like this song, you should listen to Snarky Puppy’s album Sylva. My favorite on the album is The Curtain🔥
@@shanerowe4224 Totally agree. I think they took it further down the road. I can't sit still when I watch it.
Eric Hartman was the engineer... RIP. He was phenomenal and I miss him dearly!!!
On the Family Dinner 2 recording in New Orleans, he told me there were some 120 or so inputs. I imagine this was similar. The audience gets a very rough mix and it’s not all 120 inputs. Rest well Eric.
feel for you man
He's God's engineer now Shaun, RIP Eric
Sleeper, man...you are unreal!!!!
Didn't know that, I'm so sorry. Snarky Puppy looks and feels so much like a family and losing one of yours is never easy.
Audio tech here:
This entire album was performed live in a studio with a live audience as can be seen in the video. So there was a live-mix that occured for the audience listening along in their cans.
For the album though there was a seperate mix-and-mastering process for the eventual version that got released for the album and video.
Yea, kind figured that but never feeling comfortable to say the "I know" because until someone like you verifies I leave the door open to get a comment like yours - thank you!!! 🤙🏽
They recorded all 8 songs three times. The album is the last take. Corey has another Lingus solo on organ.
All of you did a hell of a great job. Thanks. This album will stay with us for a looong time. I cannot see this performance be forgotten even in 50 years.
@@fanthomans2 noway, never forgotten
@@ocbfdog No, it was not only the last take only on the album, I was at the 4th recording session, sitting right beside Larnell Lewis.. two nights with two sessions each.. They took the best 8 songs from whatever session, actually they had 12 songs iirc, so 4 dropped off the project.. On the DVD I am in the picture for 1 second in 'What About Me', you also can see Larnell wearing a white Adidas shirt in that song.
Father forgive me. It has been ten days since I last listened to some version of Lingus. I know four days is the required amount, I will try to do better. Hail Larnell, full of grace, that, Cory plays at such a pace.
🤣
Amen 🙏
LOLOL
Celebrating at the Church of Puppy!
🤣🤣🤣
Nate Werth is the percussionist. Incredibly important member of the ensemble and extremely well respected in the industry.
Great on the drum kit as well!
Doesn't he also play with Ghost Note? They are also a band with monster talented members.
@@jordanlarson6488 yes a lot of the members are the same! I believe Nate actually founded Ghost Note along with Sput Searight.
Nate is the TRUTH!! He literally never misses a beat!
Got high with that guy in SF in between sets. lol, such a cool humble bunch, these cats!
Fun fact, the "bassist" is the actual director, and conductor, plus composer for the band. He's mostly the director
Another fun fact...he used to live down the street from me. He’s awesome!
@@dafingaz That's amazing
@@swaggyp1219 yeah. One of the most knowledgeable and humble musicians I've ever met.
Every once in a while, a musician finds themselves transported beyond the ordinary. Corey Henry was touched by god in this moment. Truly special and we’re blessed to be able to share it. Gives me goosebumps every single time...
The guy reacting to Henry's solo, Shawn Martin, has his own moment to shine in the song "Sleeper" and it's a beautiful track worth checking out in its own right.
"Sleeper" is one of my favs!!! I completely agree that it's worth checking out!
He also has a Grammy
@@imetzl9340 A Grammy? No sir, my dude's got FIVE Grammy's.
his solo was so angelic.
@@styx85 picked up a sixth about a week ago.
I would not have ever heard this unless I was subscribed to your channel. I want to take a moment and sincerely thank you. I have been struggling with debt, family members with covid, and just losing my mind in my house. This was such a treat to watch. Most reactors detract from the experience. Your input adds to it. I've been playing guitar and drums for 15 years and I always thought I had an open mind to music. But you have expanded upon that, enabling me to pick up on details that I may have otherwise not noticed. I truly appreciate your knowledge, your awareness of your audience, and your genuine appreciation of music. It's people like you that help people like me through trying times like these. I look forward to more of your videos. This was just an amazing experience to listen to. Have I said thank you yet? Lol.
Wow, thank you very much for your thoughts, really.
Blessing to you, my friend. All things are lessons.
The guy lifting Cory in the air is Shaun Martin four time Grammy winner ...
Torben what’s that stuff in back ground almost too the celling
*6 Time 🙏🏽
I have never listened to anything like that before, though I am a big Tool fan. That was so enjoyable, all the musicians were virtuoso, but that guy on the keys was a fucking force of nature!
dude as someone who grew up on metal jazz is so beautiful and the similarities between the two are amazing
@@toXXic501 totally. I played funk and metal bass and it set me up well for jazz.
Yes, Corey Henry is awesome.
Also grew up on tool and metal and now snarky is one of my favorite bands. Have a listen to outlier and what about me for some heavier tunes from them.
I usually like classic rock and metal or whatever, but I've been listening to these guys for a couple months straight and you just can't deny the freaking greatness. I guess I listen to jazz now.. This is a gateway band..
Larnell Lewis is a monster on the kit. He’s done some stuff with Drumeo where he listened to a fusion piece once and played it flawlessly. He listens to something he needs to play and visualizes himself playing the song as he listens, then he takes notes, and then executes.
Technically speaking : IMPROV GOD COMING OUT HIS SOUL
That's so crazy that your uncle was from Caldera! I have all 4 albums on vinyl, incredible music. Sky Islands, Out of the blue, and Shanti are constantly getting played
Me too! I love caldera, discovered them through Earth Wind and Fire because Larry Dunn was with both bands and they just rock!
I figured most Caldera fans would be passed on by now :) Totally dig them and I feel that Snarky Puppy is carrying on the spirit of bands of that time.
Of course I’m here till the end . Really enjoy what you’re doing. Keep it up.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thankfully someone mentioning the tight assed horns!!
What's kind of amazing to me, about 3/4 of the way thought it's almost like he's going to flame out. He brings some thematic stuff back in different parts that tie it together. And the way he finishes it off is so slick. The early part of the solo has some real delicious melodic sequencing too, just brilliant.
My life long goal is to get good enough at music to know WHEN I am supposed to say Oh damn in that solo. LOL
Love the reaction and the insights from you as a composer! Snarky Puppy is "led" be Michael League (the bass player) and he composes most of their music. He is a true visionary for sure. May I suggest, since you enjoy the brass solos, for your next Snarky Puppy reaction that you do Shofukan or Kite from the same session? I think you will really appreciate either one and I would be very interested to hear your thoughts. Keep up the very interesting / educational videos! They are great!
Shofukan is really awesome!! That ending is a must watch for sure
Shofukan gets a third vote
A fourth vote for the staggeringly superb Shofukan, but may I suggest the North Sea Jazz Festival version with the Metropole Orkest, rather than the one from this session? Loved seeing your reactions to this amazing ensemble, and it was fascinating to hear your commentary - thanks!
"Funk mothership"
Best Name ever for a group like this
And he said that lile 5 minutes in
That's why it's in quotes ;~)
looks like a headphone commercial
Hahhahaaaa......true! :)
Come back here occasionally because your facial expressions during the solo are perfect😂 much love
Not taking away from your quality of analysis (because it was absolutely excellent and possibly one of the best on UA-cam), but I think the amount of views all of these "Lingus reaction videos" get within a month or so of being uploaded is a true measure of how great this piece of music is. It shows that there is a massive group of people eager to see other people enjoy this song as much as they have.
Snarky Puppy has made many, many incredible songs over the years, but Lingus has by far the most mass popularity of any of them by the looks of it. I think there are many elements that make it brilliant: the solo, the percussion, the horns, the arrangement, the mixing and every player in the band individually. Somehow all of these elements combine together to make a TEN MINUTE LONG MODERN JAZZ FUSION SONG have over 20 million views on UA-cam. This shows that this piece of music has reached a monumental level in popularity, and has managed to bring fusion to the masses.
The song was released in 2014, so it is by no means old at all, but I personally would call it a classic, and possibly one of the greatest pieces of jazz fusion (or even jazz) of all time.
Random ramblings aside, my other favourite piece by the band is "The Curtain", a piece that they did on an album with the Metropole Orkest that showcases a fusion between modern funk, jazz, rock and orchestral music. If you were looking for another Snarky Puppy piece to react to later on, I feel like this would be a good one to listen to.
Anyway, thank you for this video, I have watched too man of these reaction videos to this particular song, but I still gained a lot from your analysis.
2:56 Funk face synchronisation! 🥴😂 Awesome tune!
Right? :)
A little thing I love here is how clearly we get to see that music really is a language. My guy here is listening to the story that composer is telling and nodding his head because he completely understands, and he raises his eyebrows at any interesting bits of the story. Just an interesting story between two great orators.
I absolutely love these insights man. I have played music my whole life (one of those kids drumming and tapping feet in every setting) and I have always had so much fun in that, and my ear for music has been heavily trained as result. I have NEVER dabbled in music theory, and in adulthood that has left me feeling extremely incomplete as a wanna-be musician. I'm taking the long way around to say, your input mirrors allot of my thoughts when I heard these pieces first too. Your input has helped me understand something so damn profound. I am a musician, who has never learned the language. Somewhere my soul understands what my mind cannot articulate. You helping me understand this, is a very big deal to me. Thank you man! To feel on the same frequency when digesting music, as someone with your accolades, it makes me not feel like a hack anymore. Knowing how to jam, without knowing a single chord has huge potential to make someone feel absolutely moronic in the presence of professionals.
Wow, thank you so much for that comment, really.
@@KeyOfGeebz it felt like the absolute least I could do. True mentors are a bit rare, and so expressing my gratitude, is a must! Have a good one man & please consider keeping these series rollin!
You're not alone in that. As I sit here listening to music and appreciating nuances "pop connoisseurs" readily skip over, I realize I've definitely missed the boat in making music. I've played drums in senior year high school, but there is so much theory I now painfully know I'm lacking. If I were to be able to stop working, I could finally sit down and start the journey at "Chopsticks"...
@@roriquevernonii8439 It may not be too late my brother! With all these websites that musicians can just upload work to, things are looking groovy dude!
"I'm gonna pull the emergency parachute going down the Tool rabbit hole", hahaha, hilarious. Exactly what I needed. Thanks (Y)
Wonderful playing, great composing and arranging. A lot of the arrangements are by Michael League - bass player and band leader. This music just lifts me so much. It's like entering another plane of music and art. Enjoyed listening to your comments from a musician/composer/engineer/producer's perspective.
Thank you very much! 🤙🤙
15:26 Great frame to pause on, pure joy!
Great video again!
I always love finding videos of people reacting to this song, especially when they can bring to light aspects and ideas that never crossed my mind. Thanks for showing me even more reasons why I fell in love with this song, and band!
Oh my Geebz !! I've been following your youtube progress for ages and you've come a LONG way ! Close to 250k subscribers ??? What a journey ! Congratulations, all well deserved !
Hey, great reaction!! Don't ever feel bad for pausing if you feel like you have something to say. As of now, I've only heard insightful and interesting points of view from you so... Just keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome so far heh.
Cheers from Brazil.
If Chick Corea, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, and Fishbone had a love child.
Thank you so much for your insight I appreciate you reacting to this wonderful group
Love seeing one of the greatest songs (in my opinion) again through another persons eyes and ears. Especially when that person knows about music and is as respectful and entertaining as you.
It's so wonderful to watch someone react to the Cory solo for the first time 😊😊
Can we also just praise the camera man for the moment at 2:52, catching that obvious love fest going on between drummer and bassist. Just jamming together on a stuffed stage.
Thanks for doing this. I love watching people experience this for the first time.
Congrats! One of the better analysis that I’ve seen in UA-cam
as a drummer i felt like you under appreciated larnell lewis, but it was still great to watch haha
I'm not a drummer but I thought the same.
This video is how I found larnell. I agree, he was the first thing I noticed
As much as I love the keyboardist. The way the drummer and other percussion build from right before the keyboard solo happens to the end is fantastic. This whole band is great.
What an awesome video and reaction, thanks for your insights and knowledge. I just found your channel yesterday, and very happy I did!!!
Great video! I've seen these guys live 8 times and they sound just as tight and brilliant on stage
That middle section with the keyboard solo reminded me a ton of The Mars Volta.
This normally wouldn't be my jam but you pulled me in with Tool so of course I'll continue on this journey with you. We shared with you now you are sharing with us.
I'm a Tool fan too, but I've been listening to Snarky Puppy for years. Good music to vibe to comes in many flavors. I hope you listen to a few more of their tracks. If you want something else instrumental, "We like it here" off this same album is outstanding. If you want something with lyrics, "Gone Under" is a huge piece.
im a metal, rock, hip-hop guy but watching snarky puppy play gave me an appreciation for jazz
Hey great video man. Thoroughly enjoyed. Watching your reaction videos is like getting to listen to these tracks for the first time again. Keep doing what you're doing.
just finding you through this for the first time, but fantastic reaction! you're really tuned into a lot of stuff in this that i've never seen in anyone's reaction to it, and well spoken/explained to boot. naturally would love to see more snarky puppy reactions, but either way, keep it up!
You are one of the only reactors who I feel is really sensitive to the places where you stop. Thank god! Appreciate your ears :-) PS love the "cleansing the rhythmical palette" - great stuff!
me 10:00 minutes into watching your reation to one of my fav bands be like: "shut up you haven't heard nothing yet" :D
Me too! I kept going. Just *wait* until he gets to the Corey Henry solo....
Loved this reaction. Loads of insights which made me enjoy this song even more. Liked and subscribed!
Was really excited to see you did a reaction to Snarky Puppy. So cool to see someone finding the same joy in this kind of music (progressiv metal/funk/rock stuff) as I do. Especially a composer/engineer like you presenting his thoughts on the matter. Very cool!
“Reaction” had everything to do with the viral success of the Lingus video. Seeing the people freaking out in the studio has a profound psychological effect that makes you feel as though you are really witnessing something. Meanwhile, it is a phenomenal solo.
I think the best part of this whole set is the fact that Larnell Lewis learned the composition of all the songs he played while he was on the plane to the gig. This man is amazing beyond description....
That is the single best keyboard solo I have ever heard oh my gooooooood.
Love your reactions, and not just because of your knowledge and interesting observations. It's just so great to see somebody react as viscerally and joyously to music as I do - or the guys in this brilliant band do.
Caldera, eh???? I've got Sky Islands sitting downstairs from who know how long ago with another 2,600 of it's brothers and sisters! I always had a affinity for fusion since the early 1980's. The musicianship was always other worldly as was most of the song writing. Flash forward to earlier this year when I found out about Snarky Puppy and oh my!, oh my! Absolutely loving your articulate reactions!
Just wanted to say this - Your uncle and the band had it going!
15 minutes in "Sky Islands" and that stuff is awesome!
Love seeing people react to this with their own insights. One of the greatest pieces of music filmed/recorded
Love this reaction..he's saying what I've been thinking
In regards to the “live to DVD” concept, if you went to any of ther live shows in 2019 they gave out thumb drives with direct downloads from the live mixed show within minutes of the show being out. So they have a lot of success in this idea of direct mix downs. But yes this was also clearly mixed down in post.
Sound like you live in the 808 state my guy (from there). Great react, it's hard not to be amazed by Snarky Puppy. What About Me? is another great one.
Shooootz 🤙🤙
When he gave a shoutout to the percussionist that made me SO happy
Thanks man!
i've been spending the last several hours going between watching the originals of louis cole, knower, snarky puppy, clowncore, among others, and your reactions to/breakdowns of their music. i am so so glad i found your videos!!! you have covered some of my very favorite songs and musical groups so far (and i look forward to watching more of your videos and discovering more groups!)
i'm just so pleased to get to re-experience all this music with someone like you, who can break it all down into the specific references, musical quirks, et cetera, and i also just love that you are as pumped to be experiencing this music as i am! thank you for sharing your knowledge and joy!
Love your stuff :) Another tip, "J" and "L" will skip youtube backwards and forwards and "K" will start/stop the video.
Wow - super cool tip. Mahalo!!!
Even easier to remember: spacebar to play/pause, back/forward arrows to skip
@@segfault_000 space bar sometimes acts like page down, if the video isn't currently selected/focused. "K" is supposed to work no matter what.
"J" and "L" jump farther than the arrow keys.
When paused, "" move one frame at a time.
@@ChadHadsell J and L and 10 seconds forwards/backwards, arrow keys are 5 sec and "" keys are one frame.
As a percussionist who has played in a band and did a live recording like these snarky recordings, I feel so seen right now!
As a long time bass player, I’m blind so don’t “see”” you but I grok and feel you! Nothing like the buzz of tight bass, drums and percussion. ❤️
@@MoreThanDanny Keep it in that pocket, baby!
Just fabulous Takes me to highest heights emotionally
Just wanted to say I stumbled on your channel yesterday and subbed this morning. I really like what you’re doing! Keep going strong and you have a great smile, too!
I thought this said Skinny Puppy and I was excited and scared at the same time, but alas I was mistaken... great videos though!
😂🤣
Slightly different artists.
*PRO TIP:* Press left arrow key once to quickly and more easily go back 5 seconds.
Also, if there's ever a need for it: to examine a video frame-by-frame, pause the video and use , and . keys.
There's just something so amazing about listening to musicians who are in total control of their instruments
Absolutely loved this video! You have so much positivity weaved into your reaction/analysis. I don’t think you stopped the video too much either. Great stuff! Also,I’ve been obsessed with snarky puppy for a couple years now lol
Thank you so much!!
As a polyrhythm/polymeter fan who's done a tool video in addition to this, you might really enjoy analyzing Meshuggah!!! I think your composer mind would freak out at what they do! Bleed is the most often recommended song, but I think Clockworks is a great recent track to get into. They are ridiculous prog metal gods with a love for jazz fusion stuff!
Re: listening to the brass section solos as a guitarist. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from a guitar tutor was “try playing a sax solo on guitar”.
I was having a bad day but watching your comments and de-composition of one of my favorite songs made things a little better and lighter. Thanks man.
Dude! I've thoroughly enjoyed experiencing your reaction, the way you got into the "how" and "what" of not just the notes being played but of the soul being pulled up and expressed by the musicians and those observing the taping. This is a treat to become aware that an engineer possesses this trait and I'd allow that a session with you present would be MAGIC! Play on, my man! Play on!
I appreciate that! 🤙🤙
Have listened to this recording 100 times. Mind bogglingly talented unit. Not ashamed to say (as a fellow de-composer) it oft times brings a deeply respectful tear. Loved your reaction. Thanks for the honesty. ✌🏼
Hey bro. I'm an old guy living in Hawaii as well (Kauai). I appreciate hearing the thoughts of professionals like you.
Cheeeeeee! Super Mahalo for watching 🤙
Hey man, you're just great! I enjoy what you do
Love these guys!!! Lewis on the drums is absolutely insane a rhythmic mastermind. Great video instant subscribe from me!
I've been really enjoying the reactions, keep it up! I suggest some Jacob Collier if you really want to indulge your ears. He has a particular technical prowess I imagine a composer like yourself can appreciate. Much love!
I'll check it out!
Collier has a track with Snarky Puppy on their Family Dinner project that is absolutely killer.
He is a robot in music making: too perfect for me, but I appreciate what he is capable of!
In My Bones, Sleeping on My Dreams, great tracks to try!
Throughout the tune you refer to the percussionists on occasion. That brought to mind Pierre Moerlen's Gong and their take on fusion where percussion took the lead. Moerlen was the drummer for Gong and this was his turn at re-fashioning the Gong name. Try the first LP, Gauzeuse! where Alan Holdsworth is the guest gunslinger on this release. The music is like nothing you've ever heard! Give 'em a shot!
Very nice post and reaction brother. Love your knowledge base.
Great analysis! Thank you and keep goin' on!;-)
11:30 for the keyboard solo if you NEED to hear it again like I did 😬
If you like this I think you should try Vulfpeck.
EDIT: Ok I just watched all of your reaction videos and you are so knowledgeable and entertaining. Subscribed. I guarantee you will enjoy Vulfpeck and their side project the fearless flyers. I also would love to see you react to Bill Wurtz's music. Keep doin what you're doin!
Really cool man! Loved the genuine reaction.
Dude this music makes me SMILE... :) Lots of surprises.. and I've heard it a bunch before..
Glad you cracked a smile!
If you are looking for something really interesting on the "rap" side, check out Run the Jewels, Thursday in the Danger room off the RTJ3 album. The depth of all of their music is pretty amazing. Lots of production things going on.
I would enjoy seeing your reaction to "Ocean" by John Butler. The 2012 version. Its an amazing song, different style than what you've been reacting to, but I would love to hear your thoughts!
Subscribed! Great discussion on a great song. Well done homes!
How did I miss this for two years?! Wow this is spectacular! Nice to hear such great music today!
