Can't think of anything besides Bungle and Fantomas albums.
Perhaps the live duo's that are floating around on soulseek,
I can recommend the duo with Joey Baron. Oh and don't forget
the patton live sets with Naked City.

well if you havent got the new fantomas album get it now,
other than that you could try out "General Patton Vs. The
X-Ecutioners" really nice.

one.

look for any of his live sets with Rahzel. Mr. Bungle's
second album, Disco Volante, is perfect. both of his solo
albums, Adult Themes For Voice and Pranzo Oltranzista, are
both absolutely essential.

excuse my redundancy by using the word "both" twice in that
last sentence.

Sorry but I don't know Mike Patton..
But, Mike Patto is a good band I think... although they did
only two or three albums in total..

Both Suspended Animation and Delerium Cordia disappointed me
a lot. What a bunch of hooey!

Get Angel Dust or King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime by
Faith No More. But I would suggest all of them.

Delirium Cordia is genius. it may be the best Fantomas
record.

peeping tom is fucking HORRIBLE. don't listen to it. pure

Essencials: Mr Bungle - Disco Volante, Fantomas - Director's
Cut.

The Kaada collaboration is also very good.

I think it's very good for a deliberately pop album. A
little bit boring sure, but deffinately doesn't reach the
lows of Mit Gas by Tomahawk.

i disagree. it is terrible even for a deliberately
commercial pop album. and even if it was good for something
shit in the first place, why would you listen to it?

I listened to it twice and it's anough. I wouldn't recommend
it to anyone here, but I wouldn't mind if people around me
listened to this kind of music. In this it's similar to
Tobin's "Chaos Theory" - not really good, quite
uninteresting, but can serve as an introduction to better
music.
Also, let me point out that I'm not a fan of Patton's arty
stuff. It feels very empty and forced to me. I prefer his
pop aberrations.

i understand what you mean but i'd agree with QRDL - for a
pop record it's not that bad. still better than his collabo
album with Kaada, which was just utterly boring, imo.

i guess the point is - i expect more from artists like him
that i respect. patton has done all these great things...
but no matter how you cut it, this is just a shitty record.


the demos are 100x better. the lyrics on the official
album are terrible, the extra parts he added are terrible...
he had a handful of good/great songs that he then
overproduced and ruined.

hm.
of course i'm not familiar with his complete output, so my
impressions surely are biased to a certain extent (and i'd
appreciate recommendations that might change my view), but
imho mr. patton may indeed be a very competent eclecticist
and technically high profile and versatile musician, but not
much else. his works
(mostly collaborations as far as i know) are often quite
impressing in terms of virtuosity and so on (but also with
alot of exceptions... yes, peeping tom for example is just
totally pointless to me, too, as were/are tomahawk), but
never in any way "touching" to me, as i feel he just totally
lacks any subjectivity/ character. the idiosynchratic
standpoints he takes in his art always somehow feel so
frantically exerted to me. i once heard one of those naked
city (mr bungle owe much to them, conceptually, don't they?)
live sets mentioned , it was a good example for his ability
to emulate singing styles (in that case eyes) but... well,
it didn't add anything personal to the mix. it's just solid
emulation and somehow i have that feeling with just about
any of his projects. it always feels like music-historical
quoting. also i think through this kind of dealing with
different "avantgardisms" as a gimmick he is well involved
in the institutionalizing of the term "avantgarde" as a
genre, which it shouldn't be per definition. also he has a
very plump and sarcasting sense of humor and bad breath and
my ex was a fan of the california record.

the end.

ps: i liked his solo-voice stuff, maybe the only time i felt
at least some intimacy with the artist. also i appreciated
his contribution to bob ostertag's "fear no love" record.
peace.
