Lovely Ballads 7

I think this is the first song I heard from Béla Fleck and the Flecktones instead of just listening to Victor Wooten (bass player) alone.

This song attracted me right away when I first listened to it, and my first response was "wow, this is absolutely amazing... just amazing, totally incredible". And it seems to leave you being unsatisfied if you don't listen to it again since the whole song, the sound of the song is stuck in your (well, my) head.

So, enjoy! btw.. this is just AMAZING!

Béla Fleck and the Flecktones - Lover's Leap


Just to give you guys some background, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones is formed in 1988 by Béla Fleck and Victor Wooten.

Béla Fleck is the banjo player. His playing style "mixes a bluegrass and folk sound into a modern improvisational style. Fleck has received Grammy nominations for performances in the jazz, bluegrass, pop, spoken word, contemporary Christian, gospel, classical, and country categories. To date, he is the only artist to receive nominations in as many diverse categories." - Wikipedia

Victor Wooten is the bass player and he's one of the leading bass virtuosos today. He has amazing techniques on "slapping and popping" (a bass technique) and has great influences on many bass players!

Lovely Ballads 4

Another good ballad by L'arc! Although his highest note does not sound as perfect as Vitas' in the previous post, but those are still pretty hard to reach high notes! :P

Overall, good song!

L'Arc~en~Ciel - 瞳の住人 (Hitomi No Jyunin)
