Please don‘t forget Javier Reyes. He’s also a big part of the AAL sound and it seems, that everyone forgets him. But listen to the nice counterpoint figures, that he plays against the acoustic guitar. I love it, especially in this song here! (And his „bass“ parts as well)

Brain Dance is just a fantastic song. Glad you finally covered it. The first listen of it really blew me away. All the little things when listening with a headset and the way you feel the music move across your head. The song name is just very apt in that respect.

Matt and Javier make that band what it is, tosin has said many times with out them he's just a guy playing to his own multi tracked recordings on a laptop, and that they've helped him shape the whole sound of the band with the raw percussive interpretations and the task to complement not copy something as elaborate as tosin abasi's writing style is to me is phenomenal, all of them are on that god level in different ways, I rly love everything AAL has done.

@nicholascrockettfilms 2 жыл бұрын

I'm still here, and my reaction was similar to yours. Just completely swept away by this track. I love the way Tosin's acoustic guitar interacts sonically with the electric 8-string and Matt's drumming. It still gives me chicken skin with every listen.

@joshphelps307 2 жыл бұрын

One of my favorite parts in this track is when Tosin switches to electric for that solo after the soft break, he snuck in bits and pieces of several well known jazz lines. Really made it fit within the context of what they’re doing. The last track on this album, Apeirophobia, is really interesting and different from the typical AAL direction. I am certain you would love jt
