Monumental Grooves

 Song: Good Red Road Artist: World Standard (ワールドスタンダード) Album: Country Gazette (1997) Bassist: ? Drummer: N/A              -track written by Sohichiro Suzuki  Place: Japan Notes: great repeating bassline, pairs well with the percussion's rhythm, looping. 

  Song: Navajo Ace Artist: Bitch Magnet Album: Umber (1989) Bassist: Sooyoung Park Drummer: Orestes Dellatorre aka Orestes Morfín Place: Oberlin, Ohio and later Chapel Hill, North Carolina Notes: weird, off-kilter intro. Blasts into weird groove briefly at 0:49. More of that groove, this time repeated, at 1:09. 

  Song: Unfamiliar Artist: Ride Album: Today Forever EP (1991) Bassist: Steve Queralt Drummer: Laurence "Loz" Colbert Place: Oxford, England Notes: This is a simple line that repeats nonstop. It has some nice urgency and consistency to it. Awesome when the drums slow down. 

  Song: Taj Shanibar Artist: Rupa Album: Disco Jazz (1982) Bassist: John Johnston Drummer: Robin Tufts (drums), Franck Lockwood (percussion), Pranesh Khan (tablas) Place: Ripa Biswas is from Malda Town, West Bengal, India. This album was recorded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Notes: great disco bass playing. cool how the bass and the vocals move together, especially with ascending melodies. 5:25 break is sick with drums.
