Pardon my ignorance but the drum and bass people around 5 years ago were all doing variations on a fat bassline sound, which they called a Reese bassline. Although pretty easy to synthesize, I think that a KMS record's bassline was widely sampled for this. I thought when I picked up 'bassline'

I don't think that musicians need writers to transform their work into something that is more meaningful. Most music is equivocal, and it is this that has imbued it with so much power and meaning throughout history. If an artist wants some sort of narrative to their work, you'd expect that they
