That bass. I remember reading an article about DiGiorgio being absolutely pissed that his track was turned down on this album.

+marklovesboogie636 And he's right. After I heard that, I was pissed off about it too

[@sk-tk5wh]

marklovesboogie636 looks like they pulled a metalica, shame that is some of the best bass I've ever heard

[@TronciM]

He definitely overplayed though

[@Omnatten9]

@@TronciM I don't think so. Except it's maybe true if you want to cover the song accurately and there's too much action going on.

[@TronciM]

@@Omnatten9 if you could audibly hear every note of his bass on this record it would be so distracting, he plays way too many notes and fills. The occasional fill and counterpoint melody with the bass is nice but not every 5 seconds

Damn man RIP to Sean Reinert 😭

I'd love to hear Individual Thought Patterns (the whole album) this way.

[@floydthebarber331]

Me too dude, me too ...

[@AnCapDanny]

One of the biggest crimes in death metal history, and probably music production history, was burying the bass on Human. I wish they could have gotten Pierre Rémillard to produce because his production on None So Vile and Obscura were amazing.

[@gonadmigraines1984]

the bass was great but I think the lines got a little too crazy at times. It never seemed that buried to me either because I could mostly hear it fine , just not all of the bass fills

[@stevai6732]

Just imagine being in his position :/, all that creative effort put forth just to be drowned, he had every right and reason to be pissed. Steve has alone inspired me to pick up the bass. I LOVE these drum/bass tracks! I find myself humming the bass to a lot of the Human tracks, they really stand out that much to me. Can't say that about a lot of metal albums I own.

[@BuddyVasallo20]

Sean reinert is a God

[@V1CCZ3XX]

This is THE song which inspired me to pick up bass playing, I was completely sold when 1:28 came, but the whole song is beyond badass. DiGiorgio is my God and bass playing is my religion.

[@megiddoxygen]

YEA BRO. That's fucking RAD!! This album is HEAVEN, and Digorgios bass tracks are the ALTER to me!!

That's insane. Same here, that exact riff and everything. Hope you're still playing!

[@maurolowend]

Steve DiGiorgio my favorite bassist, Steve fuckin bass god!

[@maurolowend]

Yeah! Im a big fan of Victor Wooten. I was lucky to get a picture with him when Wooten came to Chile. Check my bass cover of More Love! :)

[@maurolowend]

***** Thanks you for watch the video! should not be a musician to appreciate the music and have opinion. Wooten is a great person, very human, Im lucky to meet with him jajajaj Jeff Berlin is a excelent bassist, his fretless bass sounds great! If you want listen to my bass compositions, there are some wooten/stu hamm influence, greetings from Chile! :)

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

That open D string at 1:07, just the growl on it, sounds like a lurking tiger. This bass track is why I want a Rickenbacker bass, play this song just like Steve DiGiorgio one day.

[@V1CCZ3XX]

+Sam Carey praise it brother

[@PhantomDancer4321]

+Sam Carey don't worry, you can have that sound from cheaper active bass guitars as well, you just gotta know how to setup your amp settings

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

+Phantom Dancer I have no active pickup basses lol. Well at least I finally have a fretless!

[@PhantomDancer4321]

well if you dont own an active bass you can make yours sound like an active one,kinda.. you gotta turn all the way up the tone knob on your guitar,and the TREBLE and GAIN on your amp,not 100% way up,only at about 80 the BASS on your amp has to be at middle or lower if you wanna get that 'active' sound

[@ferox965]

I hate active pickups...No colour to them for me...I had a Spector for a while, and it's a beautiful bass, but it felt like bass tones, not a bass GUITAR if that makes any sense...But whatever works for the individual is what works for the individual...Always went back to my Ricky...

[@tomaszbielski8166]

I want the whole album. This is pure Eargasm

[@gasmaskboi19371945]

Trying to play along to this by ear.

[@ethantrimble4823]

I love this, the articulation nuances in Steve's playing really come through when the bass is mixed well on any of his work but the isolated tracks only make them more apparent

[@stratrovarius]

This is some pretty bad ass playing here....

[@imyourgodmachine]

Anyone that has ever listened to Sadus would instantly understand why Steve was pissed about his levels. Hes a bass god, and has every right to be!

[@The_Noticer.]

holy shit, thanks for that recommendation of Sadus.

[@JackieChandler69]

Good thing they did that. Steve's bass is by far my favorite part of that album. (was just listening to it in the car on the way home!). In fact, had I gotten into that album earlier on, I'd probably be a bassist right now rather than a guitarist!

[@icandleall]

i really think it is one my fave albums because of the bass being buried at a subliminal level

[@majorragerlos]

Nothing but pure insanity from mager fretless bass playing and seriously sick as efen drum playing!

God AMAZING UPLOADS I DIDNT HEAR THEM YET FUCK YEAH. Steve Digiorgio is my fav Death member together with Chuck. And my fav bassist of all time!

[@panayiotis131]

Steve's lick in 1:14 is SICK. As a matter of fact, every phrase by those two guys here is just unbelievable...

[@necrowarlust1]

In the background at the end you can hear someone say "Wow"

[@Nukem19]

[@waltuh11121]

Steve must be able to hold his bass with just a single one of his fingers

[@Lithuania8634]

Honestly, Andy Khairat would do this song wonders. He could truly remaster it where the bass sits right with the guitars

[@MusaTariq25]

The official remix is pretty great

[@Disc1]

Steve DiGiorgio quote about the Human mix: ''When I put the tape in the stereo I thought it was a prank to rile me up. But then soon realized that the "woofing out guitars, clicky ass bass drums and no bass mix" was for real, I threw the cassette out on to the train tracks. It obviously upset me because I was awaiting what would perhaps be a better representation of death metal bass lines out of the ordinary than anything else out there.'' Such a shame... We feel for you bro.

[@Nickstroyer]

This is the only drum 'n' bass i need!

[@genustinca5565]

thanks for uploading this!

[@deviousdiesel8231]

Okay, so obviously Human is my favorite album of Death's along with ITP (duh) because I'm a SDG fanboy. His work literally shaped my life. Human is a shame because its hard to hear the bass, but I LITERALLY CANNOT remember hearing ALMOST any of these notes except for maybe about eight of the higher dual note chords he plays. It's almost war crime level injustice that (even despite the bad mixing) you can at least KIND of hear the bass on the other songs...All except for this one. And it turns out its the greatest bassline he's ever played.

[@TronciM]

[@rollforeverderbs]

Just 4/4 16ths. Not triplet

[@Disc1]

Well it was kind of a promise they made to Steve. Steve didn't want to play on ITP unless they did some proper mixing this time.

[@simaodocaminhao]

@ac23AQ of course he used and uses his fingers, playing the fret-less bass guitar... this has always been his trademark:)

@Brutalyeah His bass is pretty evident in ITP though. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to hear more of the bass also, but his playing on ITP caught my ear more than anything else.

[@romneycareful]

Ha! Good one. I didn't know he had any fans.

[@OscarWithC]

[@burningempire666]

I'd be super stoked for instrumental tracks for ITPs and Symbolic. eargasm!! I have the special edition HUMAN, and it comes with the instrumental tracks, but I never heard these bass and drum tracks??

[@megiddoxygen]

I have the instrumental tracks too, but this isn't on the extended album they came on.

[@panayiotis131]

@Brutalyeah Well at least at the remastered (and remixed) version, Steve got some justice at last! Fucken great info btw, cheers!

[@icandleall]

Gonna have to have a listen at that cause this album ruled even when the bass was only lurking in the undertow like boiling blood and oatmeal!

[@Disc1]

@panayiotis131 Dont mention it :) The remastered version is awesome indeed! I have the ITP remastered version, too bad that one doesn't have any Drum & Bass tracks. Still awesome! If I had the money I'd buy the Human one too, but I think that one is actually sold out.

Steve digiorgio is an amazing bassist, but he doesnt really do TOO much on this album besides follow the guitar. I believe the cosmic sea bass solo was recorded by someone else scott carnio was his name i believe. Individual thought patterns is a different story tho, thats the album that really did it for me.

[@user-tp2ex6kk4u]

yeah but it wasnt at all like individual thought patterns, its just an occasional counter melody.

Yeah but that doesn't mean he didn't unfret that bass... I can hear numerous slides on the Human album that really sound like a fretless fretboard. For example the drum & bass version of Lack of Comrehension on the intro.

[@victorojedasandoval7096]

Sad but true

[@ajhproductions2347]

Maybe why it got remastered? His bass was WAYY too loud on ITP which came right after, maybe his complaints didn’t go unheard....I mean on the original mix, it’s harder to hear the guitars...listen to Flattening of Emotions, off Human, just drums and bass...digorio even admitted his intonation was off, and his bass lines deviated from the riffs so much you HAD to turn the bass down. I’ve been a bass player 21 years and there’s a delicate balance between being an innovative bass player, and simply making every riff a solo in effect. I love Steve, he’s a great bass player, but my point is he’s playing on a fretless bass. I didn’t hear his intonation start sounding “perfect” until 1999 with Control Denied. The mix on that one album is solid, but these older mixes with triggered drums and a more muddy guitar tone, making he bass any louder than he remastered version of human would just be too much. I agree you can’t hear the bass, except for a few high notes that really feel out of place to me. One more thing, listen to his intonation on Autopsy’s first album, Severed Survival. It sounds very sludgy and near off key. Part of that is the C# tuning but it is still noticeable beyond that. In my humble opinion, he should have laid back a bit more with the bass on Human, and I’m speaking from the point of view of a fan and admirer. When I heard the bass and drum tracks, I realized why his bass was so quiet. He rarely plays something that closely resembles the guitar riffs. Almost sounds like a different song in many respects. Just my two cents.

[@sidsicker]

Sounds like something off of Castlevania XD
