From the album lining, I noticed they're massive sampling >references and was wondering if the peeps had done anything else. Boom Book Ignorant. The "Lovage" album is o.k. .... you'll probably dig it if you like Automator production and patton vocals. The girl singer (jennifer from Elysian Fields) has a great, seductive voice. The best track on the album is their cover of Berlin's "Sex (I'm a)", and it features the best moaning and groaning since Serge and Brigitte did "Je t'aime" :) The Avalanches record is, again, "o.k."- not good, not bad, but just decent. It's a good pop record that shifts between typical house and downtempo, but the samples are fun to spot. The whole mix, though, is just noisy..."too much going on" at any given time, if you will. I don't think the people have been involved in any other noteworthy stuff. andrdwewwe - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 14:38:12 -0400 From: "Neil H. Enet" Subject: RE: Mike Patton and Dan The Automator I read somewhere that the Mike Patton / Dan the Automator collaboration is called PEEPING TOM and that it's Patton's commercial comeback (if you call FNM commercial). Anyway, they already have a contract with REPRISE RECORDS, so this is obviously a major label/commercial thing. I think I also read it sounded something like BECK!!! They're planning on releasing an album in mid 2002. If you look for Peeping Tom in Audiogalaxy.com, you'll find the demos that Patton did all by himself. It sounds very rough and I can't really say if I like it or not. Neil H. Enet - ------------ NP.

I like the second one too, but I don't agree with any comparisons between both. I don't see a direct relation between the contents of "Amenaza..." and "The Director's Cut". Although this may seem obvious, I thought that the covers would be much more edgy but they seemed somehow "lazy" to me. I love the album, anyway, and it will appear in my "Best of 2001" list, that's for sure. > > > > > > Mr. Bungle: buy them all! but specially "Disco > > Volante", maybe more Zorn-list-related stuff there. > > Again, not too long ago I also recommended to someone to buy all Mr. > Bungle releases. > Now I must say that California has gotten on my tits. > Disco Volante I also just find too much... it is interesting, but there > is something lacking...

Their first album really shocked me. I had never heard such a thing for my taste then, but I think that their richest album (without being subjective, I think) is Disco Volante. It just never ends. The songs are extremely original, the production is amazing, and the influences/musics are so varied that the listener can appreciate the results with a wider range of possibilities. I finally grew up tired of "California" (OK, I listened to it 1000 times), which never happened with Disco. However, I would remove some portions of the metal stuff, but an impressive album all in all. > My 2c, > patRice > > My other 2c.

I don't think that the Dan the Automator project is what was being named Peeping Tom - Patton's 'collaboration' with him is more him than Patton, and it also features Jennifer Charles on vocals. I believe it is out already also... Peeping Tom is Patton's own project which is kind of poppy with a weird slant. - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 19:11:44 -0500 From: "Joslyn Layne" Subject: RE: The Point craig matsumoto wrote: "If any U.S. readers remember "The Point," an animated TV special from about 25 years ago ... this story has the same heartwarming, poignant qualities.

Creative saxophonist John Butcher is to tour the US from the end of this month. Sorry I do not know the personnel of the concerts. Below is what Cadence has to say of his musicianship, along with the tour details. Cheers, Allan. CADENCE (USA) "London and Cologne is dynamic music that probably had the audience at these concerts sitting on the edge of their seats." CADENCE (USA) "John Butcher's solo was revelatory, his tenor an ensemble in itself - held aloft by circular breathing, the multiple trills and multiphonics added and subtracted strata from a twisting complex of voices with astounding control, interspersed with occasional lyrical irruptions."
