Loved the music - nice arrangements and groove. Reminds me a little of Level 42 - one of my favourite bands.
Also has that Eric serra (5th element feel)
From one bass player /singer to another
Loved it , loved it!!

Producing a solo-bass CD sounds like a terrific idea - looking forward to hearing that one very much & seeing you again soon (hopefully). All the best,

Servas Alex,
ich habe vor vielen Jahren deine CD Covers (Bass bei Al) in Innsbruck geklebt.
Viele CD Covers wurden danach geklebt, aber beim kleben war immer nur einen CD im Player, Deine!
Jahre sind vergangen aber noch immer hatte ich es im Ohr, jetzt habe ich bei Ebay eine CD von Dir ersteigert und was kam....? Die gute bei BWC verpackte CD und die läuft gerade im Hintergrund, während ich die Zeilen schreibe.
Es erfreut mein Leben im Moment und das ist das was zählt
Lieber Alex alles liebe aus Wien

Well! Wow. Not quite sure what to say, Al... I guess I'll just start by saying this first cut from "Trust", which you currently have playing here on the site is a great song - very nice job. I have to tell you, that first solid C# bass note just slays me... What a >great< tone you got out of your instrument! I just love that sound... Looking forward to hearing more, and waiting (admittedly, somewhat impatiently) for all of it to become available. Wishing you well with your music and in your every endeavor.
; ) All the best.... ~Jon

Hope you enjoyed your stay at The Golf House Isle of Wight.

I suspect you have a fund of rock n roll stories.

Hi Al
Colin has told me so much about you already but I wanted to say a personal encouragement. I love the album "Continental Shift" - one of the best in my (small) collection. Love listening to it driving at night especially in possibly in traffic!
Maybe I will also see you live one day.
All the best,
Hannah

The show with Slava and Leonard at the Clarendon was truly amazing. Continental Shift is fantastic, and as you said, there are clear links with this album and your work with Slava on Farewell. This music resonates strongly with me. Now for the Blue Nile. I'll definitely have to seek out their albums. Thanks again for your depth of insight and great stories. CK.

There comes a time when even the biggest of bears must come out of hibernation to conquer the kingdom...and the big bears assert their position of leadership via diplomacy and strategy. The smartest of bears will recognize an opportunity for advancement and act upon it accordingly....a smart bear would never pass up a good opportuniy for a kill....

Hi Al,

Sehr schöne Bilder mit Emmett. Ich wünschte, ich hätte auch schon die Gelegenheit gehabt, ihn zu besuchen.

Hallo Alex,
hab vor Urzeiten mal über drei Umwege ein früheres Album von Dir bekommen ("On the air") - es hat mich dazu bewogen, mir einen Stick zuzulegen...
Vielen Dank für die Inspiration und Deine Musik!
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland und ein gesundes neues Jahr!

Yet another Sydney person to drop in and say the Belew gig at the Basement was awesome, made even better by fantastic bass playing by Al! Hey Al, if you remember a bass player near the back bar asking you lots of questions about your bass and Stick, that was me. I was so inspired by your playing that night that I bought a 2nd hand 10-string Stick and it finally arrived a few days ago. Man, I have a lot to learn, but it is sooo cool! Cheers!
Helga
June 10, 2006
Sorry Mr. Daniels. My name is Helga but I'm not the Helga you're looking for. I just popped in to thank Al. If it wasn't for his guestbook, I never would have met the luscious, lovely Lucy. What began as mutual admiration for your work has resuted in our upcoming nuptuals, planned for springtime this year. As our bridal waltz, Lucy wants to use "Goodbye Vienna" so we were wondering if you play weddings and if so, what do you charge? I'd prefer to play your bass solo from The Basement with Adrian Belew as seen on youtube. But I've learned that arguing with Lucy ends in frustration for all and I love her so much I'm happy to compromise. As she said, we can play some freestyle bass later at the reception. Consider this your official invitation Al. Whether you can play the wedding or not, thank you for providing the soundtrack to our life.

I just discovered your beautiful, live performance with Slava Grigoryan. Thanks for the link. I desperately needed a little inspiration to complete an important project that I've spent most of the day avoiding by searching the web. You turned what is usually a time wasting device into the trigger I needed to get me started. Work has become a pleasure with your gentle sound in the background. Who wrote the hypnotic "2am"? I'd thank them too, but it'll have to wait. I have work to do and thanks to you, it'll actually get done!

I think I can speak on behalf of my new friend Lucy when I say sorry Al, for using you as a go-between......... Between you me & Helga, perhaps you should start a dating site for fun & profit (or in your case - for prophet!). I'll be the chick in black in case you want to admonish me for abusing your forum. But in my defence, it IS called a "for-em"(for who? for me & Lucy). Hey Lucy, how will I recognise you at the gig tonight? Why not revive an old, cliched trick by wearing a red carnation? Guess this'll be the last time we chat here, don't wanna upset Mr. Slavik who's shown remarkable patience. Must be his bass instinct! I'm playing "Bass By Al" to prepare for this evenings' thunderclap & lightening (very, very frightening!). See you both at the Cornish tonight. Bye for now Lucy, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship!
Al Slavik
May 18, 2006
i normally dont leave messages in my guestbook but obviously i had to respond,looks like my guestbook is not enough and i´ll have to open a forum where people can chat away...(Lucy and Helga !! i mean you :-)
who would have thought...
thanks for your kind words!
After the tour with Adrian,which was incredible fun(or "awesome",as Americans would say...)iam looking forward to my gig in the Cornish Arms on Saturday,it will kick off round about 9pm.
all the best&see ya there
Al

May 16, 2006
Hey Lucy,
I'll be at Als' gig on Saturday night just to hear him upfront in his true "elephant" with his own band. More importantly, to see whether he's gonna rip us apart with another bass solo or two. How bout it Al? The forecast calls for rain but will you provide the thunder? WEATHER or not, I don't wanna miss a nano second of your heart thumping, mind blowing, soul kickin sound. Looks like I'm not the only addict hanging out, (Lucy's right about the government health warning!).What time does the Slavik Tsunami go on stage?
lucy
May 15, 2006
Hi back to you, Helga (whoever you are),
Sounds like we have alot in common. Will you be at The Cornish Arms this Saturday night to see Al and his band play live? Unless there's a rip in the fabric of space and time, I'll certainly be there to feed my latest addiction - I'm hooked on Als' hooks! Al, you oughta come with a government health warning!

I thought I was the only one hallucinating after hearing you play with Belew at the Corner Hotel. But thanks to Lucy (hi Lucy, whoever you are), I also discovered that wonderful video evidence that proves your existance beyond a shadow of doubt. It's great to hear that bass solo again. I thought they were drummed into extinction through abuse & overuse in the 70's but somehow you still get away with it AND with such raunchy flair and unique style. As far as the devilish debate goes, I'd agree that you have satanic powers, except that you sound so heavenly it can't be possible. I believe Heaven has a restraining order out against the Devil anyway.
Angel or devil, who cares? Just keep playing Al. This shakey planet needs all those earthshaking, heart thumpingly good vibes you transmit. More please!

I thought it was all a dream - DATE:25th of April.
LOCATION: Corner Hotel, Richmond.
MISSION: To seek out & enjoy the man who plays guitar like Albert Einstein on acid, the ecclectic & innovative Mr.Adrian Belew.
OFFICIAL REPORT: Mission accomplished.....but with a twist!
I was expecting to be blown away by Belew and I surely was. What I didn't expect was to be awestruck by his bass player. Your performance that night(especially that bass solo!) turned an otherwise fantastic gig into a magical adventure of light and shade that was so dynamically different, I LITERALLY could not believe my ears! If I hadn't stumbled across a web site who somehow managed to capture a precious slice of that very same solo, l'd still think that it was just a dream cos you're too good to be true. But at last I have video evidence to prove that it wasn't just Lucys' lucid dreaming or even an haLUCYnation as my friends suspected when I tried to describe my adventure in Slavikland, the most secretly surprising kingdom of them all. The good news is that I'm NOT going insane - the bad news is that the clip isn't long enough - I need more! Is there any more of that footage out there? Or any live albums? You owe it to me, kind Sir. I'm hooked on your hooks and like a junkie, I need another hit. Whatever it is you do Al, the way you weave voo doo with that enchanted stick of yours, keep doing it......and as soon as possible please. I'm hanging out & need to score!
Lucy

G'Day Al,
Great fun playing those Sydney/ Canberra dates with you on the Adrian Belew tour. Your bass/ stick playing was most definitely a credible addition to Adrian's sound. Will hopefully work with you again some time in the future.
Have a good one sir!

Hey Al,
Watching Gardening Australia a couple of weeks back there was a story about bushfire plants (i.e. plants regenerating after fire) and I heard bits of a song I recognised! It was "Cruising" from Continental Shift. Nice work! :-)
Hope the tour with Adrian is going well :-)
