modey Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Here are some snippits from the full band jam last Tuesday. We tried something with perhaps a bit of a reggae sound or something, mixed with our usual post rockish sound - post reggae? I think it worked really well. In this recording: Luke - guitar Ash - bass Dirado - organ/piano Sam - portasound Me - drums Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://proj.experimedia.net/modex/mp3/001.mp3 (1:40, 1615872 bytes) Near the beginning. Note the awesome synchronisation between me and Ash, yeah!

I didn't notice at the time, but Dirado and Luke were having a bit of a 'back and forth' style jam in places. As for the previous track posted, these are really rough (especially my drumming, hehe), and there is a lot of clipping in places. But they turned out well enough for me to seriously consider incorporating reggae elements into our songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glass Plate Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 nice listen but what reggae elements are you talking about? you seriously can't hear them? Basically sounds like a lesser form of DeFacto (Mars Volta's dub projecT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yan_g Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 too little to call it post-reggae or reggae/anything, really. no reggae drums, no reggae guitar, which are the 2 most important things in reggae imo. the bass at times sounds a bit like reggae. that's about it.

modey Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 thanks for listening everyone! i dunno what to call it really, perhaps i should've got the keyboard player to do some offbeat stuff but we all thought it sounded kinda reggae/dubby or something? i think in the final version i'll put a bit of dub delay on the snare every now and then, hehe.

springymajig Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm not really a fan of anything reggae-ish... but I was curous and gave it a listen anyway. So It's not really my thing, but I can say that you guys play VERY well together... you're pretty tight... good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tht! tne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 pretty good for being all improvised. i definitely see the connection between reggae and post-rock, the post-reggae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
