Best bass,drums and guitar parts in NMA's discography?

The Attack

Decent bit of guitar playing. Someone, who's pretty good too, giving the old drums a bit of a work out.

Not a musician. But I do like to listen to that song. Preferably loud and in darkness.

Cheers

It's a fantastic song, so atmospheric, haunting, maybe one of NMA's best acoustic track. My favourite song on NRFTWi, think.

Agreed.

My response might belong on another thread here. But can anyone recall the last time it was played 'live?

Drumming is great on "Legend"!
Also the bass line of "I did nothing wrong" is pretty good!

The bass in "Deserters" is ridiculously good from start to finish..it's got similarities with "Running in the rain"..but kind of an updated hybrid version with abit of Nelsons influence from "island" (one of his finest moments)...at the same time it has Ceri's authentic stamp on it which has been firmly displayed all over this album with the bass heavy mix.

The bass in "Deserters" and "Do you really want to go there?" is also influenced by Nelson's playing in "Disappeared", it seems.

I am a bassist, I  toy a bit with acoustic guitar and sing, but bass is my basic instrument.
Basslines have been such an important driving force in NMA's music that I think they are one of the most bass-driven bands I know of. And for that I think the most deserving person is Stuart Morrow, 'cause he set it up as a standard and whoever came later had some enormous shoes to fill. I wouldn't go far in trying to explain to a non-musician his technique, but those of you who do play, especially, bass, will understand what I mean when I say this: to me he stands so high in what he does with pick-playing as Jaco does in terms of fingerpicking!
Now, as for the single bass line that stands out I really don't know... It's the whole style that he brought, the position of the bass in the soundscape... From Betcha on, through Running in the Rain, Notice me, Smalltown England, Christian Militia, Vengeance... I love and respect all other bassists that came later, Moose - the whole T&C, my favourite album, White Coats, The Charge, what can one say... Nelson - Listen to Here Comes The War, One of the Chosen, Rivers, Brother... Ceri - Strogoula, The Weather...
