I quite like Bonobo but for some reason I find this song really annoying!

I just love the guinea pigs on this track. Weep! Weep! :o)

Really like the upbeat tempo on this one from Bonobo.

I was doing my internship at Ninja Tune LA last year, and they made a party to celebrate the end of the year. Bonobo was deejing, it was awesome!

Nice use of the chop saw cutting a single 2x4 in two!

Listening to this with decent headphones. Wow! The bass is great, and there's so much going on. Need to indulge in mind altering substances and listen again 😊

I believe The Beatles put a dog whistle in background of Sgt Peppers, I couldn't hear it but my dog would perk up.

I have this album and when it's on rotation / shuffle, I'm always checking to see who it is. Very diverse sound and groove across the whole album. Great in concert, too. Quite bombastic.
 
And, Yes, it does sound like "So Flute" from St. Germain in parts.

Outstanding bassline halfway. Love this groovy track, along with some more tracks from this album.

Black Sands is possibly the best Bonobo album to date. This is among my favorite tracks on the album, though not the most favorite one. I'm going to see him live in a few weeks at the SF Warfield, should be a great show.

Something about this song reminds me of this outstanding Depeche Mode cover band from Colombia's version of Everything Counts

I'm glad you like it so much, as do I, but as someone who, sadly, lived through the musical wasteland that was the 70s, I don't think it sounds like anything that came out in those days. Way too funky and minimalist compared to the bloated progrock that dominated the alternative music scene in that decade.

I must get this album, not just for the music but for the Lake District scene on the cover which I know very well indeed (Derwent Water from Castlerigg campsite). And for the guinea pigs backing to this song :o)
 
Actually I was thinking it sounds  a lot like Tull, one of the few bands I liked in the 70's.  I used to think the 70's were a musical wasteland - until the 90's came.  Now I realize there has been a lot of excellent rock music throughout all its history - we just aren't always lucky enough to have access to it.  Which is why I love RP so much!  We get to hear all of it, including that which we missed the first time around.

It is. As is his earlier stuff. I have no hesitation in recommending all his work if you like this. Enjoy!

I was enjoying this song thinking the flutes were sampled. Even cooler knowing it's for real.

Well I've recently developed an interest in this kind of music thanks to Bonobo's Black Sands (which I first heard on RP obviously) and God Is An Astronaut's Remembrance Day, but I kinda shifted more towards GIAA than Bonobo, because only a handful songs from the album Black Sands were good. Sadly, this one's not among them.

Yes, that is a great groove - nice bass line..  It's got really cool layering and syncopation without sounding "labored".  Nice stuff.

Bonobo apes are way cool - our nearest ape relative, and very much a 'make love not war' species. This band carries that vibe on.

Hahahahaha! Guinea Pigs. That's great! They just need to find a way to throw in that muffled machine gun noise they make.
