Are there "important" Spotify playlists?

congrats on your 40 cents MaresNest :)

Oh, you're all very kind :)

To quickly answer, on that track, I sampled Mark's lovely Yamaha fretless bass, pitched it down and made some different loops to fade in and Mark - who is the main guy behind Rothko and still is - just played, very beautifully, off the top of his head for a bit and we recorded/mixed it straight to a DAT, I worked full time in a recording studio so we were allowed to use it out of hours, a lot of Rothko tracks were done there.

So I"m not on the bass for this one Gerald, it was our second ever session. Before we had played a gig or got Jon, our third member, involved in the band.

Jon, Mark and I were the original triple bass only line up, from about 1997 to 2000 iirc, then we amicably split and Mark carried on - as he still does to this day - with various other folks, he and I made a couple of records together a few years ago as well.

I bloody love those first few Rothko records. I shall listen lots and pour money into your coffers.
