Can't believe how much those ID cards cost we have no money to be casting away on them...I think ID cards will just stop people like me buying beer when underage :confused: All the immigrants and whatever will just find a way around them...the only way of preventing people from forging identities is to use I-denti-eeze.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Hmm. Does anyone know when clearvision will be back online?[/QUOTE]

I'm here :)

Well I was just about to post the stuff on Mike Patton's projects I typed up, but it's too big for one post :-/

Ah ok, i tracked down Mr bungle's s/t, I shall give it a spin later. Will be intresting to read what you have written.

Thanks :)

It's nothing special, only took me about an hour.

EDIT: There's downloads in it, so screw it, here it is, lest they expire.

[b]Faith No More[/b] (outside Angel Dust) - Well worth checking out. They're one of the more grounded projects he's worked in, and the music is generally amongst the more "normal" out of what he's produced, e.g. it generally confines itself to vocals/guitar/bass/drums/keyboard set-up, there are real songs, with verses and choruses and everything, and they don't just swing too wildly through different genres album-to-album. Pre-Patton they had a different singer, who by many accounts wasn't all that good, and who I haven't heard anyway.

Patton joined them on [i]The Real Thing[/i], which was, I think, their biggest commercial success, or at least their breakthrough album, containing as it did the hit [url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3LW3WVNJJY07M3LUJSK6EW3S56]Epic[/url]. Despite the rather undoubtedly commercial nature and success of Epic, the album itself isn't just filler, or eleven tracks following the same thread closely. Despite other somewhat similarly accessible songs, such as the (amazing) opener [url=http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3KO7L0K0Y893C037329RDB8YEL]From Out of Nowhere[/url], the album also contained it's fair share of curveballs, such as their cover of Black Sabbath's [url=http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XNN3ZYQ9DDCG1L85M671JS32S]War Pigs[/url] and Patton in lounge-jazz crooner mode on the closing [url=http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1BOSGUB8FA6A5203FQ0FNF53QR]Edge of the World[/url].

[i]Angel Dust[/i] you already know, so I won't go into it too much. It's basically considered to be the band's creative peak, and it is a brilliant album. "Schizophrenic" is used a lot to describe it in reviews, with good reason.

[i]King For a Day, Fool For a Lifetime[/i] is a slow-burner. I think it's a little more esoteric than most of the rest of their output, though I'm not sure why, it's not because it's aurally shocking, or loud, or violent. It just seemed to catch me off-guard initially, but when I finally managed to digest it properly, it settled into a place mostly just below, occasionally equal to, [i]Angel Dust[/i] in my affections. Stand-out tracks are hard to pick, since there is a fair amount of variation, and an incredibly high standard of song-writing throughout. [url=http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3ETGC3R5LKRJP0C4DCSPMSOLOY]Ricochet[/url] contains the celebrated line "It's only funny until someone gets hurt, and then it's just hilarious, while [url=http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1T3AZLW7QAPOK10KB7486JZD32]Evidence[/url] seems written specifically to exemplify KFAD's slow-burning nature.

[i]Album of the Year[/i] is the FNM album I'm probably least familiar with (apart from the ones I've not heard, naturally). It was their last before internal stress broke the band apart, and it's a fine album to go out on. It doesn't have the schizophrenic nature of [i]Angel Dust[/i] or the excellence of songwriting of [i]KFAD[/i]; it's just very good. More or less randomly chosen exemplary tracks - [url=http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0F0DTDGNNVSI339PHYEKB4823A]Helpless[/url] and [url=http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3PU66NWBAGV6Y2CKF7D3OQ1IXI]Ashes to Ashes[/url].

After Faith No More, he became incredibly prolific, which is no bad thing since (in my humble opinion of course) he's one of the greatest vocalists around. The following are in no particular order (not even necessarily post-FNM);

[b]Mr Bungle[/b] were a band Patton was in before FNM (I think, anyway - not sure), but their first official (self-titled) album wasn't released until 1991, thanks to Patton's success with Faith No More. Far though FNM may be from the norm, Mr Bungle are further. They switch (or switched - they broke up late in 2004) between rock, metal, ska, jazz, pop, surf rock, doo-wop, funk, and just general unclassifiable-ness throughout their three releases, and often throughout each individual song.

The first, self-titled album is probably their most 'normal'; it's very funky, and probably hits the least amount of genres of the three. It's also their most immature record; pretty much each song is bookended by noise, funny samples or sex/toilet-centred humour, not to mention actual songs such as [url=http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WIKMU3LJ55MF0DGOOWY3LROD0]My *** is On Fire[/url] and [url=http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3DWY0BWWD2W0Q2NDBIQ2PKFR6Y]The Girls of Pórn[/url]. But it's still an excellent release.

[i]Disco Volante[/i] came next, and is my least favourite. It's not bad, but it's very (very) experimental, and often songs just aren't that great. Nonetheless, sample tracks; [url=http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3BA6P857A177V33G2DYKTT6FNP]Desert Search for Techno Allah[/url] and [url=http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=18P9DLQ034YV61CGVXV6WXV9BP]Carry Stress in the Jaw[/url].

[i]California[/i], the third and last, is probably the one most often considered their best. Real song-structures and a Trojan-horse approach to the music itself make a really memorable album. The genres still switch around all over the place, of course. Patton's voice gets plenty of use, which can only be a good thing. Stand-out tracks, in a similar manner to [i]KFAD[/i], are difficult to pinpoint, but here's the opener, [url=http://s21.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0R0YTY3C9NL2D0OM33UYL1BYDP]Sweet Charity[/url], the closing track, [url=http://s21.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1IXJA0B3ZTWGC1N0O9VK4KMKMY]Goodbye Sober Day[/url], and one of my personal favourites (and a shorter track), [url=http://s21.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0HKIO9VI1INNU16DU1BCHUAGQN]Vanity Fair[/url].

Now, [b]Fantomas[/b] are something of a supergroup, consisting as they do of Trevor Dunn (Mr Bungle - and others - bassist, and an excellent bassist at that), Melvins' Buzz Osbourne, and Slayer's Dave Lombardo. Probably the most experimental of Patton's long-standing projects, uploading tracks would be more or less useless, so I won't upload any without request. Their first album was a thirty track, vocal-less (or rather lyric-less - Patton shrieks, growls, scats and otherwise gibbers his way through the album) semi-concept album based on the band's namesake, and is excellent, if a bit of a shock initially. [url=http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=313ZQ834V8DOY1CXZBI2ICLUW4]Here[/url]'s a short video of them playing the 29th track on the album live which I like.

Second came [i]The Director's Cut[/i], an album somewhat in the vein of their first album, but with tracks more closely resembling songs, along with resembling the famous film scores they were covering/interpreting.

Their third release is known as [i]Delirium Cordia[/i], and is again vaguely conceptual; it's supposed to be something of a soundtrack to a surgical operation. It's one single track, seventy-four minutes long, and ranges between 'awesome' and 'godawful', depending entirely on mood, disposition, etc.

Their last album, released earlier this year, is called [i]Suspended Animation[/i], and is the closest thing to repeating themselves they've done yet, since it largely resembles their first album (thirty tracks, similar musical style), but interspersed with samples of cartoon music and sometimes mimicking cartoon music. It's dedicated to the month of April - was released on April 1st, the packaging is in the form of a calendar for April (and includes "Mother's Day"-style days for each day of it), and the tracks are called simply 04/01/05, 04/02/05, etc. I'm still undecided on it, personally.

[b]Tomahawk[/b] are one of his bands I know little about. They've released two albums, I think, self-titled and [i]Mit Gas[/i]. I think other members of the band were formerly in Jesus Lizard, which can't be bad. I have three songs from the first, self-titled album downloaded on a different computer, and they're pretty good. I keep meaning to pick the albums up, though.

Now, side-projects and one-offs. There are a fair few, and most of them won't have uploaded songs, either because I haven't got the albums available to me, or because YSI seems to have mysteriously stopped working for me.

1. He did some work on Björk's [i]Medulla[/i] album. It's an almost entirely all-vocal album, which I quite like (although many other don't), so he's one amongst many talented vocalists she assembled, and his contribution (on record, anyway) doesn't seem incredibly substantial.

2. [i]General Patton vs the X-Ecutioners[/i] is another more recently released project he's been involved in, and it's just what it sounds like - Mike Patton and the (somewhat legendary) team of scratchers collaborating on a military-themed project. I personally enjoy it, and I think most people would like it if they took it with a light heart. I've uploaded the first three tracks from the album; the first two form an amusing introduction, while the third is the first real song on the album.

4. He released a record in collaboration with John Kaada, a Norwegian experimental pop and film score musician, and I like the result, [i]Romances[/i]. It's a nice little album. It's not very structured, but I liked it all the same; it brings to mind hedonistic, debonair, film noir scenes for me. [url=http://s14.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0DXHNU6WGMYFO2JJWE9OV99S2L]Pitié Pour Mes Larmes[/url] is one of the songs with lyrics, and [url=http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2O1QZ1TW7PKH33BASOEDWMRYGJ]Labsent[/url] is one of the better shorter tracks.

5. He also has two solo albums to his name, which go by the name of [i]Adult Themes For Voice[/i] and [i]Pranzo Oltranzista[/i]. I've not heard anything from them, so I can't pass comment, really. I think they're all-vocal, and non-lyrical, though.

6. He did a one off album with the Japanese noise-legend known as Merzbow, under the name of Maldoror. The album is called [i]She[/i], and if it was in any stores I've found it in for less than the £14.99 it seems eternally to be priced at, I would probably own it. Since it doesn't seem to be, my sole experience of Maldoror is a track called Twitch of the Death Nerve which I downloaded a couple of years ago, but which I don't have here for you. It was, as you might expect, noise, but it was a good track.

7. In the time when the Dillinger Escape Plan were without a vocalist, Patton joined them for some live shows and recorded an EP called [i]Irony is a Dead Scene[/i]. It's a very good EP, though only four songs. A live cover the collaboration did has recently been uploaded [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8010021&postcount=79]here[/url].

8. He did some live shows with the (incredibly talented) beatboxer Rahzel. I get the impression there is some recorded material from them too, but I haven't heard it.

And, though I've probably missed out something big, that's all of his I know/have heard.

EDIT: And now I think I'm going to go for tea.

Heh, interesting stuff.

You only knew if he/she signed the messages. If there was no signature, then you could go to a sticky in Site called "Rep Inquiries" (or something along those lines) and find out, since the mods could see it.

Before, there used to be a rep button next to the "Report Bad Post" button.
