I've been a professional drummer for 46 years. I've played ALL styles of music both live and in the studio. But I have to say that in all of my musical life, in all the bands I've been blessed to play and collaborate with, this "Follow the Light" track has just completely blown me away. The amazing "pocket" that these folks were able to establish is like NOTHING I've ever experienced. Especially given the fact that I understand that they didn't even record this video in the same studio with each other. Dirty Loops was home in Sweden, and Cory Wong (who plays with such funky precision) was in Minneapolis with his horns. They are all completely outstanding musicians, but that BASS!! THE BASS!! I hope he was standing near a bucket because the FUNK was just dripping off his hands. The triplet-slaps at the end of some of his phrases slayed me. His solo was on another planet. Him and the drummer (I've seen his solo in "Work Shit Out" and he's completely GOLDEN) are joined at the hip! I've watched this video about 11 times, and it drains me each time. MASTERPIECE!

Completely agree! I've been fanatical about certain fusion bands and drummers over the years, but this track, oh my god is just sooooo satisfying. I'm hearing new things in there all the time , the production is also insanely good

Cory and Henrik talked about this album on Cory’s podcast. The craziest part about this is it was filmed in different locations, dirty loops was filmed and recorded in Sweden, and Cory and the horns replicated the sound stage and filmed/recorded their parts in the states.

Henrik Linder has a great explanation for his slapping triplet technique on the Scott's Bass Lessons YT channel. Two hammer ons and then a slap which is usually followed by the same with a pop to create a sextuplet. Pretty similar to Victor Wooten technique and Tosin Abasi selective picking.

Cory and Aron coordinated the camera placements the similar backgrounds; besides being the main writers. Go back through that horn section (all players) many played with Prince. Grace Kelly is a wind instrument wormhole in and of herself. The horns play with Cory, Vulfpeck , Fearless Flyers etc. Just watch Cory’s podcast with Henrik, Cory explains the whole process, the backing tracks they created, and coordination with Aron.

First - thanks for your reaction of this song. Loved it! My face fell just like yours so many times through that one. The whole album is amazing. Even more - the two bands were video'd on two different continents. According to the Wongs Notes podcast, they geeked out and matched camera models, heights, light types (Cory had to rent some from Cali) and more all to make it look like they taped it in the same room. Great stuff, though. Thanks for all that you do, Michael.

A couple of things: 1. Cory Wong’s horn section used to play with Prince… they were called “The Horn Heads”… THAT’s why they’re so tight. 2. At the end of the credits, there is a little notation saying “Quincy Jones, Management”… that should tell you everything you need to know about the production. 3. If you think this is good… wait until you experience the other tracks on this album… I personally recommend “Thriller”… when you watch that one, be on the lookout for a double-belled Euphonium… quite possibly the only inclusion of said in a pop tune EVER.
