Snarky Puppy - Binky (groundUP)

[@nicholassverdloff2566]

The part from 00:00 to 9:51 is awesome!!!

The part at 9:52 was a real disappointment.

This was the first song my son ever heard. ❤

[@PenguinMcDuck]

Something really coincidental and awesome just happened a few moments ago as I was walking out of my car while listening to this song. The first melody had just started playing for a bar or so after the rhythm section intro, and a car alarm from my neighbourhood just went "yee-oh yee-oh yee-oh yee-oh". Guess what? "Yee" on the beat, "-oh" on the offbeat. Exactly in time!! I stopped and checked the timing for a whole minute outside my house, thinking the tempi might deviate soon, but nope, the total synchronization just kept up until right just now someone (presumably the car owner) switched off the alarm. Damn man. If only my phone battery was charged this morning... I would've recorded this and shared it!! :D

[@raitoxote]

+PenguinMcDuck You're probably a drummer, I'm thinking of those kind of things all the time.

[@spacejazz6272]

you got me sitting here going "yee-oh" all the way through the intro now lol

[@jayphonic9244]

+raitoxote I think it's just a musician thing, I play piano and euphonium and I notice the same type of stuff.

[@robertoesquivel4447]

[@tomshepherd1]

Man, that bit at 7:45 is brilliant. That casually slipped in, insanely impressive synth bass rundown that just makes Michael League go 'Whoa, where did that come from?!' Awesome. Sums up Snarky Puppy for me. Incredible musicians with so much love for the music and so much appreciation of the other musicians. It's a beautiful thing.

[@Yonoize94]

Am I the only one who thinks that the part from 5:20 to 7:10 is the most beautiful part, Snarky Puppy has ever written?? I just freaking love that melody and those vibes that come through the perfect instrumentation! This song is older now, but for me it gets even more golden! :)

TheTheorgrin exactly. sorta noticed it but got to lazy to correct.

[@DryanDrummer93]

Ben Johnson I feel you man, the first time i heard them drop that i was literally going crazy with excitement haha. Such a huge energy change compared to the first half. The fade out was so well executed the only way i could really tell it was done live was the fact the guitars never changed their level. A very chilling performance in my opinion.

[@thage7729]

[@Catz-pt6lo]

Yes I love that bit. That melody that comes in with the synth, followed by the mute trumpet and then brass section is sublime 👌

[@sithxle7546]

And the fact that they teased it throughout the song made the end result far more rewarding

I've only recently (well, in the last 12 months) got into Snarky Puppy. I love the fact there is a kind of rotating cast and like so many late converts came to them via the Lingus vid that has so many hits on KZbin. Because of that, I was only aware of the material with Larnell Lewis on drums, but I have to say I'm loving Sput Searights work on this. I've seen a version of Binky with Larnell behind the kit on the Dunlop Sessions and I have to say I prefer this. Sput brings a different vibe to the song. I love how they both bring a different interpretation to Snarky Puppy and yet it is still definitely Snarky Puppy. I'm rambling, mi gusta.
