What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

Mark Sandman was a clever, inherently musical guy – creative. Their stuff is calculatedly stripped down and the resultant sounds are a lot less simple than you’d expect from a two string bass, sax and drums! The band was really defined by the bass, Sandman’s great baritone voice and the baritone sax. Something off the beaten track in a world of same old same old IMO, but an acquired taste, and for me now, only a very rare listen.
