I reviewed this shortly after it came out.  Don't recall if I've
posted this review or not (it was originally published locally).
The review is copyright (c) 1991 by Michael A. Murphy.

Anyway, here it is...


Mr. Bungle                             Travolta
Mr. Bungle                             Slowly Growing Deaf
Producer: John Zorn & Mr. Bungle  T    Squeeze Me Macaroni
Engineer: David Bryson            R    Carousel
Warner Brothers 26640-2           A    Egg
Released: 1991                    C    Stubb (a Dub)
Total Time: 73:22                 K    My Ass is On Fire
Source - CD (ADD)                 S    The Girls of Porn
                                       Love is a Fist
Rating - ****                          Dead Goon


Funk Metal meets John Zorn (who produces) to create an avant-jazz/metal hybrid.
It's a little like Zorn's Naked City with a little more grunge and the
bizarreness of Mike Patton's (vocalist for Faith No More) vocal style(s).
All of the tracks push the limits of taste (lyrically, anyway) somewhat.
The worst thing about that is that it makes half the disc unsuitable for
airplay - which is too bad because these guys definitely have some stuff
that's worth hearing.  'Safe' songs you may hear on an adventurous
radio station are "Slowly Growing Deaf", "Carousel" (some ska influences
here, very cool tune), "Egg" and "Dead Goon". Tracks like "Squeeze Me
Macaroni" and "The Girls of Porn" will bring the Reverend Donald Wildmon
screaming to your door! -- if he can decipher the lyrics. These are a
couple of kick-ass tunes!

The music on _Mr. Bungle_ shifts (much like Zorn's past work) from
incredibly intense, immediate, funk/jazz/metal grunge to mellow, jazzy
interludes laced with some schizophrenic sax honking and just plain
weird fun.  Great stuff!

I suspect that for a lot of people (including me) the first Sun Ra album
they heard is the one they consider the best. I know nothing about its
availability, but I really like "Atlantis", which was released back in the
late 60's/early 70's by ABC/Impulse. The recording quality, like most
Sun Ra albums of the period, basically sucks, but it's a tribute to the
band's talent that the music still sounds great! Atlantis is more precussion
oriented than most of the other stuff I've heard. The B-side has some of the
best "50's science-fiction-movie-influenced" Farfisa organ playing that Sun
Ra' ever done.

Indeed.

Maybe people have wondered how on earth I come to think of that song.

Well. There's this typesetting system, TeX, and on page 365 of the official
book by its author Donald Knuth there is a quote by Alan Perlis

`` When someone says `I want a programming language in which I need only
   say what I wish done' give him a lollipop ''

And I started writing a while ago a macro package for TeX that pretends
to be almighty and so easy to use that you almost quite (but not entirely)
have to say what you wish done for it to happen,
so I decided to name it Lollipop TeX.

And for the first couple of dozen of times that I typed the name
Lollipop (surely one of the weirdest feeling words on an qwerty keyboard;
good workout for your pinky) I started humming that infernal tune.

So that's why.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

PPPPS: The "Discipline" mailing list (via toby@cs.man.ac.uk) has
reported several substantiated rumors from interviews of both Robert
Fripp and Adrian Belew that Tony Levin is, of late, a member of the new
King Crimson, which expected to record and possibly perform later this
year.  The drummer *is* Jerry Marotta (of Peter Gabriel III and Security
fame, I'm not sure what else he's done).  I don't know the details, but
apparently Adrian Belew recently announced on Canadian TV a week or two
ago that the lineup was no longer a rumor and is "90% official".  Now
this change in events wouldn't prevent Tony from more studio work with
Yes/ABWH, but it limits his time somewhat and probably continues to
preclude touring with Yes.

BTW: Bill Bruford's Earthworks and Adrian Belew (complemented with a
couple members of the Bears) are currently independently touring as solo
acts at various locations on the planet.  Robert Fripp will be joining
Adrian Belew at Adrian's show in Washington DC at the Lisner auditorium.

ASIDE: Steve Tibbetts and Marc Anderson are touring together also "as we
speak", and are rather awesome on stage (I just saw them last night in
SF and must therefore plug their performance).  Love that feedback...and
that...drum...noise.  At the show in SF, one poor member of the audience
who came in off the street said "yech, this sounds like Jimi Hendrix on
a bad acid trip," and promptly left after the first set.  Anyway,
Steve's guitar playing was incredible, more like Michael Hedges on acid,
if such a thing can be imagined (I'm a product of the '90's), and Marc
Anderson's drumming/percussives was simply mind-blowing.  Heavy.  A
must-see.

With the exception of Phil Collins. :-)  I think you'd have a hard time
convincing us that "everything" by the other artists listed is being done
by computers.

So that's the real reason why you are so disparaging about Gun's and Roses and
the other bands you don't like.  You don't like them, thus they suck.

Yes, Tim, we know that.  Youv'e had the Yes quote in your signature for awhile

hate to rain on someone else's party again, but i beg to differ.  i
know little about amy grant and nil about c&c, but i see no reason why
deborah and phil should not be included in the same catagory...of
musicians.  everything is NOT done by computer and, in fact, very
little is.  with the exceptions, of course, of the basic recording,
editing, mixing capabilities that ALL artists employ.  (yes, gnr is here 
too - as with every other musician of the last half century or more)
i won't bother much with the issue of whether an artist can "play"
his/her instrument.  however, i will mention that deb has been playing
the piano and guitar while a lot of the people on this newsgroup were
out there soiling their diapers.

As far as i know the Sound doesn't exist anymore. The singer of the band,
Adrian Borland, is still in the music scene with a band called
'Adrian Borland & The Citizens'. Recently they released an album ( i read
a not very good review) and i saw him announced to play in Amsterdam a week
ago ro something like that.

I wasn't at Winterland, but I was at the old Agora Music Hall in Columbus
in '79 where the same thing happened.  The Rubinoos were opening for
Elvis Costello, and played not only "Sugar Sugar," but also letter-
perfect covers of The Monkees' "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" and
The Beatles' "Please Please Me."  They were great, but they didn't
belong on the same bill as the Angry Young Man era EC, and they 
were roundly booed by the audience.  

Me?  I loved 'em.  I still think it's the best "Please Please Me"
cover I've ever heard.  And how can you *not* love a band that
offers the inspirational poetry of "Hey, hey, I wanna be your
boyfriend"?

I have a question concerning the way tickets to major concerts are sold.
Are there a specific number of tickets that are allocated to be sold at
the box-office only?  If yes, how many are usually put aside, and are
these better seating tickets than the ones you can get from Ticketmaster?
Also does anyone know how many tickets are usually reserved for radio

I am new to this area, so if someone can please repost the list of the 10
overrated bands, I can put my 2 cents in.

Anyways, since we all have different tastes, I did notice alot of chatter of
critisizing GnR.  I personally agree with all the critisizm, as I can't stand
them, but that's my opinion.  Maybe I don't know enough about their music to
critisize them, but what I have heard, I don't like.  

Anyways, Instead of critisizing one anothers opinions, by picking on bands that
you think are overrated, why don't we take a poll on it?  Why not even have 
a separate vote for the most favorite band?

My vote for the all time best band:  The Police.

The Police are simply, awesome!  There is no comparison to songs like "Every
Breath You Take", "Walking in your footsteps", "Wrapped around your finger",
"King of Pain", "Synchronicity II" = and those songs are all of the same 
"Synchronicity" album!  What about songs like "Roxanne", "Walking on the moon",
"Don't Stand so close to me", "Every little thing she does is magic" - or even
the not-so-famous songs like "So Lonely", "Next to You", "Bring on the night",
"It's alright for you", "Invisible sun".  Those songs are fantastic!
Anyone share my opinion?  Couldn't care less if you disagree :-)

I'll agree with you there.  Invisible Touch was a terrible fall from
grace.  And there is no return.  

In the old days, when Peter Gabriel was around, they were technically
on a par with Yes, although the styles differed greatly.  Give a close
listen to the structures of "Supper's Ready" and "The Lamb Lies Down
On Broadway".
