“The piano is the core, but it’s not very big-sounding, and there’s quite a busy vocal, too. Deacy was very careful about where the bass lies and the kind of space it takes up, how it breathes against the snare, and when to open up. Much like John Paul Jones, Deacy was surrounded by monster musicians but really cut a niche for himself without putting too much attention on himself. He’s not a player like [Cream’s] Jack Bruce, who demands to be in the forefront at times. Rather, he’s very much a support instrument, but in a way that opens up sonic barriers to make everyone else shine.”
