Mike Patton

[Human Life]

I know there are a few Patton fraks on this board, so I need to know something. WHich are the best records from all of his bands? I just now started to check out his music in detail and am interested. I already have Mr. Bungle self title and Fantomas directors cut. Where should I go next?

I'm a huge Patton admirer, but besides FNM, I've heard only Mr. Bungle 'California' - one of my all-time favourites, like a pop record filtered through horror surrealism. I'm waiting for his other stuff to arrive here - the solo vocal-noise albums, the Maldoror project etc.

Hmm...always when discussing about the best Faith No More album with my friends we seem to end in different conclusions, but generally you should try "Angel Dust" or "King for a Day, Fool For a Lifetime." Also Mr Bungle's "California" is up there.

And "Adult Themes For Voice"
(No, kidding. I do have it but I'd recommend it only for people who want to get rid of people in their house parties.)

How about trying Faith No More's "The Real Thing"? A pretty important record if you ask me.

Mr. Bungle 'Disco Volante' is a must! 'King for a day, fool for a lifetime' is indeed one of many favourites, 'The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies' is an excellent track. This is Mike Pattons own label http://www.ipecac.com/ I am lucky enough to have had a sneak listen to the new Tomahawk album (due out in the next fortnight) http://www.ipecac.com/tomahawk.php

truly one of my very favourite releases.

 

[crumbling mirth]

and jo, disco volante is my fave bungle release incidentally...

 

[Jo]

Crumbling mirth do you feel like listening to it now? Shall we? Lets!

 

[crumbling mirth]

good plan

it shall be slotted into the player immediately after kindergarten from angel dust is finished

You do realize we should both be at 'Metal For The Brain' RIGHT now!
Human Life, all these links have samples/audio, enjoy!

well jo, if i went to uni in canberra or something then metal for the brain would be a huge priority.

but being the lazy individual that i am, a trek to canberra would be out of my league. lol
