Quotes: When he decides to, JG can climb out of the manhole, show you that the bass is a lot more than a juke thump in the night. Bass as lead -- this cat can lay it down like a black glove with chopped fingers on the throttle. Consider 10. "Under Cover of Darkness". Dynamite groove, cybernetics. Like low contour flying in a chopper... following the canyons, following the coast. Bass as lead, something Jon Gagan excels at... and we ain't talkin' about a Jaco pedal either. In his autobio, Sting talks about "the cult of the bass". Cult? What could he mean? Listen to this track and you'll know. - culturecourt.com
