CinemaSonics is Doug Wimbish’s long-awaited second solo album, his first since 1999’s “Trippy Notes for Bass.” Perhaps best known as the bassist in the Grammy Award-winning rock band Living Colour, Doug staked his first musical claims more than 30 years ago, as bassist of Sugar Hill Records house band. With guitarist Skip McDonald and drummer Keith Leblanc, he wrote and played on many of the original hip-hop anthems, including ‘The Message’, ‘White Lines’ and ‘That’s the Joint’.

Soon after, along with McDonald and Leblanc, Doug moved to London, and with English producer Adrian Sherwood, formed the legendary industrial funk band ‘TackHead’ - later joined by Rolling Stone vocalist Bernard Fowler in 1989. Coinciding with the release of TackHead’s "Friendly as a Hand Grenade," Doug’s artistic journey accelerated wildly.

Doug quickly earned the reputation as “The Journeyman Bassist,” sought after, and collaborating on records and tours, with hundreds of artists, including The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, Herb Alpert, Annie Lennox, Carly Simon, Madonna, Seal, Joe Satriani, George Clinton, and Mos Def. With long-time collaborators Living Colour drummer Will Calhoun and vocalist, Vinx, the duo as HeadFake and the trio as Jungle Funk, Doug also produces Bass/Drum Dub projects that have proven especially popular.

For CinemaSonics, Doug recruited many of his life-long musical mates, and tapped his deep reservoir of talent, influences, and cinematic memories to make his most personal record to date. CinemaSonics is, as expected, filled with Doug’s virtuosity, electronics, and signature ambient sound, but it also showcases his often over-looked melodic, lyrical, and compositional skills. From horn-rich James Bond orchestration, to 1970s Superfly funk, urban Beatstreet vibes, and darker Miami Vice moods, CinemaSonics is a comprehensive, and stylish musical document ... A record that effectively serves as a soundtrack for Doug’s rich, artistic life.
