Having just purchased a Spoiler, and blown away with the sound and tonal qualities of the bass, I got to wondering--does anyone know of any major label releases where the tracks were recorded with an Alembic?  Any particular showcase tracks, for example?

John McVie used Alembics in the studio before he entered bankrupcy.  John Entwhistle used one as well.  Jimmy Johnson is a long time user of Alembics, and although the labels he has been recorded on may not be major, the results certainly are, (as well as minor, disnonant, diminished, augmented, etc.).  Cliff Burton used an Alembic briefly as well before his untimely death.  And let us not forget Stan the Man Clarke!

Also, Mark King (I had a senior moment, sorry fellow pluckers!)

The Who - Face Dances
Practically anything by Stanley Clarke
Either of the Animal Logic releases
Works vols. I & II by ELP
Lift Me Up single (on the Union release) by YES
 
Those are just what's in my head at the moment.  I need coffee...

The majority of Stanley Clarke's output was recorded with an alembic.
I'm petty sure Level 42s Staring at the sun was recorded with an Alembic.
Most,if not all of James taylor's latter work features Jimmy Johnson, a well known alembic user.
John Entwhistles 'Too late the hero' uses alembic exclusively and even features an exploiter on the cover.
 
Check out the Artists section of the showcase then track down the artists output.
 
cheers

Flea recorded almost all of One hot minute on an epic.

Nazareth, Dixie Dregs, some Parliment, Type O Negative

Allman Brothers, Styx, John Paul Jones.

I'm not sure, but I think Metallica
I think it's even possible Cliff Burton used his Spoiler on Master of Puppets... (the Spoiler was stolen in '85)

tyran porter of the doobie brothers.

I've seen Tyrone use his in concert several times.

Phil Lesh w/the Grateful Dead from about 1968-69 to sometime in the early 1980s, on occasion after that.
Jack Casady, w/mid to late Jefferson Airplane, early Hot Tuna; I'm not sure how late it goes.

Robert Gordon on the early 80s Gil Scott Heron records and Danny Bowens on some of the 70s ones. One of my favorite Alembic tones (although mixed way too low) is Jim Cammack's fretless Series I playing on Ahmad Jamal's Live in Paris '92. A great album all around. Jim is just awesome!

prince's bassist brown mark used a spoiler on a bunch of stuff in the 80's. weren't the later zep records made w/ alembic bass?  i am pretty sure the most recent red hot chili's record is done with an epic bass.   i was trying to find out if robert plant's principle of moments had alembic on it-sounds like it to me!
