FORQ - Lymaks (Batch)

[@asafshaked6679]

Been a Michael League/Snarky Puppy fan for a long time. How do I just come by this piece of brilliance?!

[@shastafay4992]

GroundUp is THE place to be...

[@theoreticalphysics3644]

Meh Tenny some may say that we like it here

[@japas]

@@theoreticalphysics3644 Yeah, I listen to this all the time on my family dinner.

[@kunaljoshi630]

@@japas Well, I guess the world really is getting smaller, huh? (with even immigrance like me listening in!). But I guess that's what happens when you discover a good thing and tell your friends...

[@gauravsaimaddipati8356]

What a great thread 😂

[@HonkeyTonTon]

God damn, how does Michael League find the time to record so much gold?

[@JTonthedrums]

HonkeyTonTon By tracking an entire record(And we took Band/Individual pics) in one day! Gotta make it do what it do when it do. Peace… :-)

[@samcooke343]

Jason Thomas That's incredible, plus it explains how the FORQ records have so much energy and cohesion. Great work guys, my wallet is ready for June 30.

[@JTonthedrums]

That's also called budget friendly. Lol! Thanks for the support, preciate that. Enjoy the music…. JT

[@thorestey]

+Jason “JT” Thomas More budget for '52 P-Basses ;)

[@JTonthedrums]

LOL!!! Exactly!!

[@MarkJPerry]

This is one of those rare pieces you can listen to as a whole.. and it's beautiful.. then rewind and listen to Michael's detailing and phrasing.. and that's beautiful... repeat for keyboards, harmonic shape and drums.. then listen again as a whole.... ah... bliss!!!!

[@jeanarne]

I saw Forq in Oslo yesterday, and they played a brilliant version of this gem. Having no prior knowledge of this band, I n ow I feel compelled to go through their entire catalog!

[@r8To]

I want to say I especially like one part, but then I end up loving all parts. Great talent, wonderful sounds.

[@fabiansantanamusic]

This is amazing!!! The section of the melody from 1:12-1:28 is just great, so simple and so beautiful and big.

[@sebastianorlando7275]

kung fú...

[@karlx-1]

Goddamn! Bands like Forq and Snarky Puppy are so rare these days. So much Donald Fagen, Larry Carlton, Drew Zingg influence. If fills my musical heart with pure joy... and hope.

[@el_pablodocus]

Amazing drummer, talented musicians and a hell lot of groove thank you !

[@michelclavel9895]

vraiment excellent, grosse claque en découvrant FORQ au Jazz Mix de Vienne en 2018, notamment avec le guitariste Chris Mc Queen prodigieux

Beautiful, super thought provoking, and deeply emotional. Absolutely love this. Thanks guys

One more proof that grain and noise in video isn't a big deal if the composition and realisation is great. @AndyLaViolette: amazing job, as always!

[@sinkthepink74]

Woah crazy ending ! Brilliantly arranged, performed, recorded& mixed... These guys are perfection !

[@carolinagr1122]

OMG.. lovely groooooooove..! All parts are perfect.

[@ENZO76133]

A big fan of Forq put me onto their music... Love it!!

[@nickahlessismore]

Whenever you find yourself in search of the groove, you can be sure to expect Michael League to be there

[@somekindatube]

Such a sleazy, compelling groove. Really enjoyed the gig in Manchester on Monday too - you guys are great.

[@seanscott2063]

love that little bass nuance at 2.48 :D

[@samcooke343]

I'm guessing there's a Chris McQueen track on the next Snarky record then... He co-arranged Sylva now he's writing Forq records too. He's great.

[@RobertIverMusic]

Love this track, and the album!

[@fierybones]

Great textures! Sweet bass tone!

[@Jooooooouuu]

[@The1stMrJohn]

So much groove, nice to jam with. Bumbling around the internet I saw a 1952 P-Bass for sale for £22,000. I thought it would be more? 👍😁 Because Guitar prices are going up quickly in England due to the folly about our trade with Europe. Even one if my Low spec Earley RGs has gained value! It has an unusual neck profile for its price bracket, which now is discontinued, and lots seem to like the neck, and I only kept it because I really like the neck myself(but needs a Lot of fret repair work) Even ordinary standard RG350 is worth more than I paid only 2 years ago second hand(needs some fret repair work doing) My Vigier is nearly 2 years old and would cost 40% more to replace if something happened to it. It way over inflation.

[@N_g_y]

Superb, just got the CD/DVD yesterday, LOVE IT! Likely to order add'l copies and give them to friends/family to spread the word. Quick question: What keyboard is the one in 1:13 (right hand)? Seems to be used throughout and I don't know what it is... Thanks!!

[@AndyLaViolette]

***** Thanks! I believe the red keyboard on Henry Hey's right side is called a "Contempo Organ". If I remember correctly, the keyboard on the bottom is called.a "Mellotron". These guys are tone masters...good gracious.

[@conniehoukamau2899]

[@DanHillman]

This track just gets me every time. Henry's face when he plays THE riff on 2 keyboards, so sick. What's the red keyboard at your right hand? Some kind of vintage portable organ? It's sound is beautiful.

[@88pampa]

Late reply here, but that looks (and sounds) like an old Farfisa organ or maybe a Fender Contempo. Beatiful oldies, hear it all over Pink Floyd early albums and lots of psychedelic records from that time.

[@DanHillman]

Yeah man it's a Contempo I'm sure of it!

[@thetrivialmatters5084]

...press PAUSE at 4:42 and you may recognize the brand label above his right hand; here you are! I'm listening for the whole evening now to that fantastic FORQ stuff, I couldn't press PAUSE, even if I needed to for a pee :-) Kind regards, the trivial matters.

[@callahanjohnson]

Anyone else notice how the name for the KZbin video is not the same as what it is in the description or in the opening of the video? Lymaks vs Limax respectively.

[@72911RS]

Nice stuff. Are you guys coming to Toronto any time soon?

[@javiceres]

Sweet

[@BoB-ef7zd]

Anyone got an idea what type of pedal the guitarist is using during his solo?

[@chrismcqueen8876]

Boaz Burns I believe it was Rockett Archer for drive and MXR carbon copy for the quick delay, and an old Fender spring reverb unit the studio has. Also I was going through two amps with a very tiny bit of tremolo at different speeds for some extra thickness. The delay might have been EHX memory man ping-ponging between the amps, can't remember now.

Asking again, what happened with Adam Rogers?.

[@groundUPmusicNYC]

Johanny Echeverry Cárdenas - Adam is spending most of the year on tour with Chris Potter and Ravi Coltrane, so Chris has jumped on board as well.

[@JTonthedrums]

Adam is & will always be a part of Forq, but he's extremely busy with his own groups & other bands he works with. Peace, JT

[@jasonthomas6486]

Ha! As I'm lying here supposed to be sleep, I'm trolling on youtube and I see this, so I have to answer right? 2 years old, who cares. LOL.. So, hopefully I can remember what I used.
