Magnificent, Derek Forbes bassline #1 ever

[@handfulofsnowdrops]

Derek has MANY sublime baselines! Simple Minds were hollow with him gone.

[@SonOfAnders73]

@@handfulofsnowdrops you've done him proud here , cracking video and cover 10/10

[@pathogensmusick]

It's so true! I love Simple Minds, but when they lost Derek, they lost some of the essence that made early Simple Minds so great.

[@victorrodriguez5765]

My favorite Simple Minds song ................. greetings of Peru 🇵🇪...

De la balle .....un ovni des années 80 qui résonnera longtemps encore !

This makes me want to be out doing something. Anything. To lump myself with the crowd; buy a cup of coffee; sit in a park and read; walk down a busy sidewalk. Enjoy being alive.

Sorry, I didn't mean to rub it in.

Yes, undoubtedly a classic and a legendary bass line from Derek Forbes.

[@matpal443]

grande pezzo che ti trascina oltre

[@handfulofsnowdrops]

Concordo!

[@TAMUGNO]

FANTASTICA, SUBLIME, IMMORTALE FINO ALLA FINE DEI TEMPI! Ascolto questo pezzo e non posso fare a meno di lodare all'ennesima potenza tutta la sua magnificenza. Mi spiace, nessun gruppo esistente può battrere questo capolavoro musicale.

[@handfulofsnowdrops]

I'm not sure if you're talking about the original or the cover but in any case, grazie mille Tamugno!

[@TAMUGNO]

Nice version. It's hard to mimic the percussive "excitement" effect of Burchill's guitar but you've done a good job.

[@handfulofsnowdrops]

Thank you! I know it's not quite there yet. I suspect Steve did it by overdriving a spring reverb tank and I didn't have one at hand. If I come across Steve Hillage one day, I'll ask! :D

Handsome tribute. Respectful and respectworthy. The bass a bit underplayed for my taste. I like the transitions (1:39 - 1:45) better than the original. I find the departures from original tasteful and well fitted.

[@handfulofsnowdrops]

Wow, thank you so much for your comments. Truly appreciated. Although, just to prove how covering a track that is so close to some people is risky business, a lot of people have told me the baseline was overplayed! :D My thoughts are it is neither. it is played the way I intended to interpret it. 🤷‍♂️🙏🙏🙏
