100+ Head-Fier
Here is an example of bass processed in the recording with an Aphex Aural Excitor - a studio workhorse piece of gear that first got prominence in the 1970's & 1980's, and a few other brands followed it. It was often used live in very large clubs and when switched on, would take the low bass to a deeper thundering foundation by sub-synth harmonizing, phasing, dynamics and octave extension. Many here know this sound from club attendance - it is unmistakable when switched on. The Aphex is used on some trax on this album. Here, Marcus Miller is playing bass, and afterwords went to Miles Davis band, where that deep foundation live just enveloped the stagefront. A cool wind-down type album, in full, won Grammy in 1982. Sounds great on SACD or vinyl lp thru Fostex TH-X00.
