VIBES is a cool, down to earth SPACEGROOVE. Besides the Electric Bass, Saskia plays with Muted Trumpet Subtle Reproachful Blueslicks and before you know Mellow Mac’s Voice leads you to Weird kinda DUB REGGAE Vibes, inspired by Rob Gaasterland’s Nordlead.
(Mellow Mac:) You gotta take me where the Vibe is / take me where the Vibe is / You gotta take me where the Vibe is / take me where the Vibe is / gotta bring home the Vibe / make it alive, make it alive / you know what I’m saying / you gotta take me where the Vibe is / raise up the beat, take me where the Vibe is / make it fat, you gotta take me where the Vibe is / gotta bring home the Vibe, make it alive / you know what I’m saying / the Sign is flowing, it gotta be known / the time is flowing, ain’t nowhere to go / the Vibe is flowing, it gotta be known / the vibe is flowing, ain’t nowhere to go
