Lotus Omega - The Lighthouse

Lighthouse: funky, yet driving. Waldorf Salad: funky, yet driving. Somehow L.O. manages on both of these tracks to convey both that driving foot-stompin' feel while retaining some funkitude. Both tracks are two of Lotus Omega's best, and have quite a bit more character to them than those on their full length album href="http://www.discogs.com/release/207259">Recycle Bin on ZMA. In contrast to Recycle Bin's more aggro, full-on feel, we have hints of ass-movin' tint in these two gems. Lighthouse is my favorite of the two, and to this day has what I think is one of the coolest basslines ever created. It keeps itself together a tad more than Waldorf Salad which leans further toward the somewhat disjointed flavor of the href="http://www.discogs.com/release/207259">album tracks. If you get the chance, get ahold of Lighthouse and check out that bassline - so unique and so signature there's just no way it can be imitated or copied without being completely obvious, hence its true one-of-a-kind status as far as my feeble mind is aware.
