Playing "My Favourite Mix", shows ths, Bonobo, BUT plays "Fell on black days" from Soundgarden. WEIRD!

Due to the speed of the Waltz – before you even progress to the Viennese Waltz – you will move your feet approximately 90 times per minute. The continuous shift of weight and the resistance of movement will increase your cardiovascular health in no time.


That may well be, and yay for waltzes, but this here song is in 4/4 time. Waltzes are in 3/4 (three beats per measure). The waltz-like feel is likely from the eighth-note triplets within each measure. So you have a One-trip-let, Two-trip-let, Three-trip-let, Four-trip-let thing going on in each measure, each triplet beginning on the  downbeat, four beats per measure.

Seems about half the time when i hear an unfamiliar song, and think to myself, "This is really cool!" when i go to check it out, it's Bonobo.

Engaging to start, but IMO just a bit long. 
Can see the appeal tho.

why must everything be a waltz on a Friday nite?

I ask you, why?



because a foxtrot or a tango just wouldn't work on a Friday?   Seriously hadn't thought about this being waltz time, but yes!.  (Its Thursday today though 01/04/2024)

Right? Who knew?  And I've been listening to them... I mean, him, Bonobo, for years!. With the RP epiphany though  I got to say, I now  hate this dude. He can play like 25 friggin instruments.
Brilliantly! Taint fair. I had to tap out at the plastic recorder level.  Grrrrr.     Grrr x 25.                    But muchas amigo .  He puts me in a galaxy far, far away.

3/4 time can cover a lot of musical sins.

Very nice. Little “French movie” vibe with some Balkan tone. Lovely.

Just bloody brilliant.

Whenever he tours live he usually has a great bunch of musicians with him, usually inclusding one or two excellent vocalists. At these he himself usually plays bass. Well worth seeing if he comes to your area.

after Sting's Russians, and then this track, left me pondering humanity.... on the one hand, despotic madness and mindless obiedience and then artistic brilliance.... and I guess it always has been and it will always be the same...

I had no idea that Bonobo was a single guy's stage name. Always that this was a very talented band. Learn something new everyday.



Yeah, it is quite something to see him play all those instruments at once!

Love Bonobo's work.  Like others, I had no idea it's just one person.  WOW.   Reminds me again what little talent I have...
