Mr. Bungle's California C or D?

That's taken from Indonesian kecak music. Buy a kecak CD and just hear that CHAKCHAKCHAKCHAKACHAKACHAKACHAKACHAKA bit all day!

This band got better with every album for real.

Well I just listened to Disco Volante right thru again and I'd quite possibly dispute that, but the last 2 are simply titanic (and the 1st one merely very very very good)

My old roommate was a big Mike Patton fan, I never understood why. Mr. Bungle reminds me of this:

oh good cameron carr is here

This album is absolute magic from beginning to end. So many chills inducing moments, including:
"Save me, the heavens have opened, I'm coming home sweet charity"
The fiddle riff at 0.53 in Ars Moriendi
"From the skyscrapers down to the submarines"
When the extra-layered vocals come back in after the freak-out instrumental in The Holy Filament
The chorus of RetroVertigo ("staring into glassy eyes, mesmerize")
All of Pink Cigarette

Cameron, if that's what you think Bungle sound like you've probably only listened to the first album, and not very closely at that. YouTube Pink Cigarette and give it a listen, you'll be astounded by the difference.

that video is like if cardiacs were really bad and unimaginative, which is not a universe i want to be in

This is one of those albums I always thought I'd like but have never heard.

If Naked City covering Pet Sounds seems like something you'd like, you should check it out. I was a fan from the first album onward and caught the California tour with an early incarnation of Dillinger Escape Plan opening. So good.

does patton smoke crack or what? listening to this now

this is mr bungle's pop album muahahahahaha

Same guy who engineered this recorded my last album. He's freakin awesome.
