I always loved the mad crew sample but never knew what it really was.this is awesome. I want this record. I have been playing that bassline for yrs not knowing what it was.lmao
lanier2 : dude, what a stupid comment, if you knew anything about hiphop you'd know it's really a product of disco, as house or techno! There was more than disco around at the time, but disco was really the most important and influential style ever and of course it transpired to jazz-funk... check Herbie Hancock - Should have been you!
Oooooh! Fremen Funk comin' at ya straight from Arrakis, baby! Bene Gesserit bitches and Harkonnen snitches don't do melange like we do, ahhhh yeah! Atreides get the ladies, Fedaykin get the bacon, dig?
This track blew my mind when it 1st came out. A bass melody! I had never heard that until this album in '77. You youg'uns are right; This track, Sandworms, is some dopeass funk. David Matthews got massive respect for writing arranging & conducting this. Produced, of course, by Creed Taylor, thus the CTI sound, and I'm not suprised if 1,000 people sampled it. Gary King playing melody on bass (a 1st for me). And Grover Washington, Jr. scorching a tenor sax solo. This is a great song.
Please take notice: This is NOT a bass line. This is NOT a bass solo. This is a BASS MELODY which is extremely rare! Just listen to it and think about it. Melody. Not a solo, not a bass line. Marcus Miller does it (play bass melody) a lot recently and I've even seen Ron Carter perform live with another guy playing the bassline while he plays melody and solo on piccolo bass. Dune precedes both, I think, and it is a bass MELODY.
No we don't. A half not is a whole note. A melody is a chorus. 1+1=3. A trumpet is the same as a kazoo and a triad is not harmony. YOU may want to study music like that, but I don't.
that's what we call over-analyzing something to its death. But we agree, the bass-line is just one of a kind supergalactic bass-line, or whatever bass-thingy.
In music, a melody (from Greek μελῳδία - melōidía, "singing, chanting"[1]), also tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity.
I just dont get why in your understanding a line is not a melody???
It is NOT called over analyzing. If I thought you were really serious about music, I would go into this. But you seem to be of the "whatever" school and that is cool, too. Have a nice day. It's a cool song, isn't it.
@freddypknight A good example of that would be "De Pois Do Amor O Vazio" from Wayne Shorter's Odyssey of Iska album. Ron Carter playing a melody while Cecil McBee plays the bassline.
this one of the fuckin dopest tracks of all times. not only large pro and red&meth used it. it's also sampled from pete rock for the pjs and from dj premier for big shugs bang em down. for shug listen closely from 1:53-1:57
I don't think that bob james arranged this piece. David Mathews was an arranger of some sort too, band leader for james brown, and a notable Kudu producer with for example Idris Muhammad's incredibly tight "Turn This mutha out".
wow, i was just thinking about uploading the Dune music on the web using only the album cover as a picture (which i think is way better than adding other imagery). And then I found someone else had done it : )
Any chance you could upload all the 4 parts of Dune in succession? This music really needs to be made available, because the album is almost impossible to obtain.
One of my favourite albums! Been listening to it for 13 years
good luck finding that. it's kind of rare, as it has been taken of the market when george lucas -someone correct me if i'm wrong- claimed the copyright for the star wars themed music...
@jdean9 I found this entire album on a breaks and beats blog. Best way to find hard-to-find music like this... google the artist AND album name and then add on the word "mediafire" to the end.
