and you know what else?  take out the guitars, and keyboards, leaving only drums, bass and the horns - buuuusog pa rin....

although nick milo and chester thompson are great keyboardists minsan buried in the mix sila, until they have a solo.

I completely agree.  I've been listening to TOP since their first album, and in spite of the player changes (except for a few who've been there forever) their music is still as tight as ever.

Nga pala, ano na ang balita kay Rocco?  How's his recovery coming along?  That's one badass bass player!

He got an endorsement from Conklin after he recovered last time I read. (But that's like two or three years ago.) Long live Rocco!  :-)
