I'm crazy in love with this band, but the bass-line was ripped directly from "Arjen's Bag" by John McLaughlin, which was composed in the late 60's. Even the melody is similar. Musicians can be real gentlemen, though - plenty of room for both great pieces!
Nice track, but the fuzzed out Lowrey organ is mixed too high! Mike Ratledge should have mixed it down and also let Karl have a solo on the baritone, which is much sweeter sounding on this session. I like the Lowrey just fine on Third and Fourth, but it's never this dominating except where it's used as a weapon, such as the sick intro to Facelift.
When I first heard this song, I immediatley thought of the song "Follow Your Heart' from the Joe Farrell lp, Joe Farrell Quartet. The song was written by John McLaughin. Same keys and bass lines...but still a great piece of music..
love this song, but again I have to say it is a very close copy of an earlier Joe Farrell song called Follow your heart (which you can find on youtube)
@bartolome3@bartolome3 - well it's so close it may as well be a cover. actually they are not in same time sigs, but both are odd times. days eye is in 9/8 and the joe farrell song is in 11/8. Both are in same key though, and go thru the same chord changes and parts, only just a slight variation of melody and time sig.
@progjazzfusion F.Y.H. is actually a John Mclaughlin tune (he plays on Farells album) originally on 'My Goals Beyond' which was a reworking of his earlier 'Arjens bag' from 'Extrapolation'. look for it on youtube.
here we have the BEST sound of bass guitar of fucking ever!!! .. Anyone knows how to get it?! (I mean amplifire, effects, devices, strings, type of wine, weed, cheese...) Help me canterburian friends!!
This is a Fender Bass VI baritone with flatwound strings (0.95-0.25) played straight into what I presume a Fender Bassman 100 amp. Finger plucked, no effects. Here on the Tube is a splendid clip; search for Roy Babbington Bass Solo.
@dankton1976 - This fender bass VI he used was a short scale bass, shorter strings and neck than regular basses have. the shorter string length makes the lows more loose and not as defined. I played one and didnt like it. very one dimensional and not enuff lows for most music. easy to play though. more like a lower guitar than a bass. wonder why he played this? hardly anyone else did, as it's seen as inferior to regular fender basses like hugh hopper played.
Absolutely - also known as Arjen's Bag - from the 1969 John McLaughlin album 'Extrapolation' . Still one of my favorite jazz albums. Right up there with 'Kind of Blue'
Es un cover de Follow your heart de John Mclaughlin, o de arjans bag...
solo que ellos lo tocan en nueve y la melodia esta retocada..
Me encanta.
This is a nice cover of John Mclaughlin Follow your heart, or arjans bag, in the album extrapolation. But this guys play in nine and they change the melody.
@rowanhudsonmusic Yep! "Seven" easily stands the test of time. Could never understand why it's so underrated. Maybe because they never played much of it live? Truth is,it contains some of Ratledge's best playing. (But of course the whole band were brilliant.)

Un antes y un después , no sólo para la fussion , sinó incluso hasta en las galerías con los cuadros y motivos sumándose al vanguardismo. Y no han perdido comba, a ver.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, además...con Soft machine todo lo referente al jazz fusion o space rock se revoluciona...De igual manera, el modo de ver las cosas... :)
