I just downloaded 2 samples from this album on soulseek and
It's pretty much what I expected, sounds a lot like the
first album, it's really great stuff. I'm glad they've come
back to this style, if the samples are anything to go by
though, they've definitely moved forward. If anyone wants
the samples, they're being shared by people in the Bungle
Fever room.

not sure if this was posted before..it's new to me :)

The album features 30 tracks, each titled after a different
day in the month of April, according to Billboard.com. The
first manufacturing run of the set will feature a 30-page
spiral-bound calendar to house the CD, with artwork by
Japanese cartoonist Yoshimoto Mara.

Yeah, I'd like to get a copy of the first run. This album
was recorded along with Delirium, I'm pretty sure they were
two separate ideas they had in mind.

Responsible for one of the most eclectic catalogs of recent
memory, Fantômas return with Suspended Animation, a
thirty-track set that both celebrates the art of cartoon
composition and the many reasons to behold the fourth month
of our calendar, April (with one piece for each day of the
month). Who knew that April is subtitled “national humor
and anxiety month”? Who knew that the dreaded April 15 was
actually titled “That Sucks Day” or that April 24 marks
the beginning of National Karaoke Week? Leave it to the
creative minds behind Fantômas to enlighten us to the many
forgotten holidays throughout April.

The brainchild of Mike Patton, Fantômas is an anti-hero
from a series of pre-WWI French crime novels, sometimes
dubbed the “lord of terror.” Rounding out the ensemble
are Buzz Osborne on guitar (Melvins), Trevor Dunn on bass
(Mr. Bungle, Trevor Dunn’s Trio Convulsant) and Dave
Lombardo on drums (Slayer).

Fantômas’ three previous releases have regaled listeners
with a sci-fi homage (Fantômas, 1999), a celebration of the
best in film composition (Director’s Cut, 2001) and a one
song album (Delirium Cordia, 2004). As Rolling Stone said in
their review of Delirium Cordia: “One epic seventy-four
minute noise-rock song. What’s not to like?” Now with
Suspended Animation, the quartet delves headlong into a new
and recently unexplored genre... cartoon music. Recorded in
the Spring of 2003, during the same sessions as surgically
precise Delirium Cordia, Suspended Animation is the yang to
Delirium Cordia’s ying. Bright and loose, Patton describes
the new album as “nursery rhymes, cartoon sound effects
and choppy arrangements.”

As with all Ipecac releases, the artwork and packaging are
just as integral to unfolding the full story as the piece of
music, Suspended Animation is no different. Perhaps the most
intricate packaging to date, the thirty page
booklet/calendar is illustrated by Asian pop cartoonist
Yoshimoto Nara. In a recent San Francisco Bay Guardian
feature, Nara’s influential style was described as
“cartoonlike images and sculptures of kids and puppies –
sporting world-weary adult expressions, major attitude and
salty vocabularies.” The paper went on to say that
Nara’s pieces “are among the most cutting edge of
Japanese exports in the contemporary art world.”

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



this is the only thing i've been listening ever since i
downloaded it last night..it's awesome!! wicked!! really
intense stuff, the average playtime of songs is about a
minute and a half, sometimes i wish they were longer, i
would much prefer if they would do all songs in one piece
like delirium cordia or like they played when i say them
live..i think im going to try and put the songs together
(mix) somehow, because those silences between the songs are
sometimes a bit too long :) patton is crazy on vocals, and
everyone else is just following him, so it's really
crazy..im in love with it!! <3

that mp3 sounds like the first album indeed... but a little
better.

don't know if it will be enough for me to like it enough to
buy it... *keeping it anyway.*
