@AnarchoNinaWrites Thoughts on this version of Ride's "All I Can See" with the different intro on bass? https://youtu.be/kOQCMswll9o
@pixplz Oh I kinda dig that actually - I don't know that I've ever heard this to be honest with you; I'm in the American market so I usually get the rerelease compilation rather than the Peel Session EP - half the time they don't even sell them here.
See I boxed myself in here - either we do the abyss, or we do the bass guitar. I think or all our sakes I'd better stay with the bass.

Most people don't think of REM as a bass bad - but Mike Mills is actually brilliant, and his minimalist style carried them through their entire careers. This really shows up on Orange Crush and say What's the Frequency Kenneth - but early in their careers Mills would sometimes take the lead. Like on this track:

This one takes a hot second to get going - but man, that bass player.
