Upon seeing Martin at the last "Web launch meeting at The Bassline" he
handed me this disk and asked if I would like to review it. Well, Here it
is..
I was familiar with the cover from seeing it advertised in "THE BOTTOM
LINE" and was interested in hearing this disk after meeting and watching
Trevor do a gig at the 'Springer' show.
Firstly the disk didn't work on any of my home HiFi's (that’s because It
was a pirate copy burnt on a dodgy cd – Mart) - but it did work in my car
system. That's cool because I can only listen to it when I go to gigs (or
visit the lady friend) and get inspired.
This disk really consists of love songs with a late 80s feel (correct me
if Im wrong).The kind of stuff played on 'Webster or the Cosby show',-I
loved these shows. I liked tracks 3 to 7 the most though!
Track 4 :'the island' has a really catchy solo bass melody.
Track 5: 'Call on me' is also a catchy pop/love song and had me singing
the chorus in the car.
Track 7: 'Sweet dream shuffle' has some cool slapping, perfectly suited to
the song.
Tracks 8 to 11 are where things slow down a bit-(great for those picnics
on Clifton beach with the one you love).
Technically one cannot fault Trevor’s playing and his phat tone. Looks
like the one and only white Jazz bass on the inside cover loaded with
active pickups.
To conclude: This is a great album giving us the public, love songs (is
that Barry White I hear) and a small taste of what Trevor has to offer on
the bass and vocals. A strong focus on the songs and arrangement as
opposed to hectic 'bass in ‘ur face bombardment! (Which also has its place
somewhere).
I look forward to meeting and watching Trevor play again in the near
future, I believe he has other live projects at the moment!
Till the future, check you in the spotlights!!!
