    Just when you think a musician can't come up with a new color for music, Bill Laurance comes along and proves the rainbow is endless. Mesmerizing in rhythm, harmony, melody, and endless joy to listen to each instrument one by one to better appreciate the whole.

    LOVE when RUclips puts suggestions in a mix with what you like. I hit this in one of my mixes due to Snarky Puppy. I can't be more grateful for finding this gem. Also clueless about the voice synth. I saw a vid of a person who scams scammers. HIS voice was audio'd as a female voice-just speaking. Blew me away not realizing you could synth your voice with chord progressions. Raving fan here.

    The thing that differs these guys from other musicians (except for the fact that they are more skilled than most of them) is the strong passion for music! You can see it in them. Whether they play a simple note or a fast lick they enjoy every second of the feel and sound, it's heartwarming and makes you feel the passion too. Love Bill laurences' and his bands work!

    It was with some trepidation that I loaded 'Swift' DVD by Bill Laurance, Michael League and 'Sput' Searight in my player last night. I ruminated that ' Flint' was a too an hard act to follow...but I had no cause to doubt the sheer brilliance of these three virtuosi. Orchestral majesty, soaring soundscapes, intricate textures, drum patterns and piano nuances. U-Bahn being the fitting sequel to ' Swag Times' ( Flint) for me in what can only be described as .......A Clazz Act !!

    i have been so obsessed with the vocoder in this for so long and still idk how it's done. this doesn't sound like any vocoder i've heard done before. the consonants are so clear and the effect is so textured, human and feminine. i feel like there must be such a specific finely tuned setup there - my only guess is - mic for consonants with very high threshold hp filter + 2-3 part harmony on controller + maybe the vocoder is running (at least in part) a neutral sample of vocalization by the woman who does the ubahn station announcements vo... im amazed

Also the young musicians on strings are really good...!!!! Oh man, your solo on acoustic piano is absolutely out of this planet..... Congratulations...!!!!!
