Imagine Frank Zappa on acid in hell, and you'd be pretty close.

Lots of stylistic changes, very twisted sense of humor (very funny most of the
time, although the noisy vignettes between songs do get a little annoying),
bizarre themes ranging from the death of his pet dog to "butt banging."  If you
are a lover of the bizarre and sick-minded, you will love it.  If you're not,
you might be able to put up with it anyway, because the music is AWESOME, much
much better than anything Patton ever did with Faith No More, IMO.

Sort of like the Chili Peppers in spots, but the style changes so often that's
not really a label you could make stick (unlike the Infectious Grooves, for
whom such a label is definitely appropriate...).

Overrated? Most definitely. People treat them like gods when the simple fact is
Axl can't sing, Slash can't play in tune, and they got rid of the only talented
member of the band (Izzy. At least the songs he wrote were good.)

            ^^^^^^^
Duh...gee...that line doesn't sound racist. Why, Axl must love and cherish 
black people enough to use such a complimentary term for them (heavy sarcasm).
And once Axl caught flak for that, he started kissing ass by saying
that Public Enemy was his favorite group one night, N.W.A. the next. Right now,
I'd be willing to bet that Naughty By Nature is his favorite, and he'll say 
he's down with O.P.P.

And Axl's experiences have turned him into a sexist, racist idiot. No, wait.
He was ALWAYS that way.

But it's this racism that festers in the mind, not the stuff that isn't made

The way I understand it, the original versions were all locked up due to some
litigation or other.  Plan 9 couldn't release them, so they released an album
of alternate takes from the same sessions.  They are pretty close to
identical.  I can tell the difference between versions of "When Eagles Dare"
when I hear them back to back, but probably couldn't tell you which was which
if I just heard one of them.  As far as i know all the tracks are different.

Well, that still sounds like FZ to me. %)  Seriously, I'd say the funk-
metal element is pretty major, even though there is a lot of weirdness.
I didn't realize how sick they were until I read the lyrics.  Someone
said "the Residents meet Fishbone/RHCP," although "Naked City meets the
RHCP" sounds about right to me.

I saw Mr. Bungle last night here in Dallas.  They played at a "rock & roll"
club --  I'll bet they never let a sax player set foot on their stage 
again.  The crowd was 98% "metalheads" and "yaaaaaah!!! rockin' rollllll!!"
types, which made for an interesting show.  Before the band appeared, 
the PA played Godflesh _Streetcleaner_ at high volume with weirded out
vocals mixed in (it turned out to be a Bible-thumper cassette called "How
To Kick The Devil Out Of Your Life"), which put me in a good mood.  But
when MB came out, they launched into 10-15 minutes of pure noise/grunge/
feedback/atonality, which seemed to confuse the crowd.  One guy near me
shouted, "fuckin' PLAY SOMETHING!!" %)  They manipulated the crowd in a
very interesting way simply due to the structure of Bungle songs, which
go from furious riffing straight into what I usually call "lounge jazz,"
and back.  The crowd would really start headbanging on these monster
riffs, but act rather lost when the jazz kicked in.  People would start
drifting off toward the restrooms or bar, then rush back when the metal-
funk began again.  It was not what the crowd was used to. %)

They were extremely tight, and played loads of new material (the set 
list I got had about 4-5 new songs before they did anything off the
_Mr. Bungle_ CD).  The guitarist was particularly good -- his soloing
during "My Ass Is On Fire" was a high point, better than the studio
version.  One of the two sax players played keyboards much of the time.
When they came back for an encore, some dork yelled out for the Faith
No More big hit (I forget the name now), so Mike Patton replied, "find
a fucking jukebox, asshole!"  In general, they seemed to enjoy messing
with the metalhead crowd -- the encore, which was listed as "Jazzfans,"
was pure snap-yer-fingers cool jazz, and this left the crowd totally
deflated and slightly irritated.  I was very pleased.

My 2c here...

Given sufficiently sophisticated players and noise-reduction devices,
all three media (record, tape and CD) can have equivalent sound to the
casual observer.  The major differences are convenience.  

1) CD's have a higher dynamic range, but this can be as much of a
   problem as a benefit - quiet parts are often too soft, and loud
   parts can wake up neighbors...  If you normally listen at medium to
   high levels, it's probably an advantage.

2) For equivalent sound quality, CD players are cheaper.  CD players
   can be gotten for under $200 these days.  All of them have the same
   quality.  Tape decks with equivalent quality usually start at $200
   and go up.  Good turntables often start higher ($300+).

3) CD's are convenient.  A 5" disc to hold 72 minutes, as opposed to a
   12" disc which (under ideal conditions) holds about 60 minutes.
   Records typically only hold 40-45 minutes.  Tapes are the most
   convenient, but they can tear and tangle.  Tapes can hold beyond 90
   minutes.

4) You can't record on a CD or a record.  Tapes won't die until you
   can record on CD's.  The CD won't kill tape, but DAT will if it
   gets popular.

5) CD's can be gotten for the same prices that records used to be when
   they were still being made.  While many stores still charge from
   $15-$18 for a CD, discount stores often carry titles in the $8-$12
   range.  Tapes are the cheapest medium around, but they wear out,
   and a tape recorded from a CD (with a good tape deck) often will
   sound better than the pre-recorded tape.

Subject: any a-ha fans out there?

    i've been following the net for some time now, but i have yet to hear any-
thing on the norwegian group a-ha.  believe it or not, they are one of my all
time favorite bands.  forgetting about such "pop" staples as 'take on me' ,
these guys put out some great music!!  for those who are unfamiliar with the
group, a-ha has always been one of those bands that are difficult to categorize
, which is one of the reasons why i like them.  listening to an a-ha album, you
will hear anything from a pure "pop" song (not my favorites) to more of a folk-
rock sound remeniscent of the doors.  (actually, in more than one interview
with the group, they cite the doors as their greatest influence.)  to date,
they have four studio albums:

                          "hunting high and low"
                          "scoundral days"
                          "stay on these roads"
                          "east of the sun, west of the moon" ***(my favorite)

the lyrics of their better songs have a very dark side to them, and the music
has a very haunting feel ('the doors' influence again).  songs like "the sun
always shines on t.v.", "here i stand and face the rain", "scoundral days",
"the weight of the wind", "the soft rains of april", "manhattan skyline", and
"sycamore leaves" all have that dark, haunting feel to them.  also, lead vocal
morten harket delivers some of the most powerful songs i have ever heard.  his
high register can belt out songs like "living a boy's adventure tale", "we're
looking for the whales", "stay on these roads", "out of blue comes green", and
"rolling thunder" with ease.  some say that a really great group can send
chills up your spine when you listen to them, and a-ha is definitely one of
those groups.  if anyone wants a good starter album, try "scoundral days".
every song on this album is great (well "maybe, maybe" is a little silly, but
we can let that go).  i hope that someone out there can reassure me that i'm
not the last a-ha fan on the planet. (well, i know i'm not due to the fact that
a-ha had the largest audience turnout of every group at last years huge concert
in brazil with groups such as queensryche, george michael, and guns & roses!!!
i think they brought in over 150,000 fans, if i remember correctly).  if any-
one wants to talk about these guys or has any info on them, please write me and
lets talk!!!

Subject: THREE GREATEST CHORDS OF ALL TIME
Organization: Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 1992 08:53:00 GMT

All right, since I've been reading the .music groups I've seen lists fly back
and forth for the greatest rock bands, greatest rock singers, greatest albums,
most overrated bands, best would-be superbands, etc., etc., etc.  I, for one,
think it's high time we got down to the real core of all this.  With that in
mind, I put forth the following question:

What are the three greatest rock & roll chords of all time?

Let me elaborate a bit to avoid future confusion.  First of all, I know three
chords isn't a whole lot, but it's been the staple number for rock & roll
throughout its history - and besides, we want ONLY THE VERY BEST chords! 
Second, remember we're talking about ROCK chords here, so I don't want to see
any of you jazzers voting for things like "Bbmin11maj7(b9 #5)".

Having laid that groundwork, here is my personal list:

1. E  - *the* all-time classic rock chord, period.
2. A  - the chord that just begs to follow E.
3. B  - cuz no chord sounds sweeter after eight bars of E and A.

Okay netters, what do the rest of you think?  Have I nailed it on the head, or
can someone else think of three better chords?  Let's have it!

For Reich try Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint. It's on
Nonesuch. Different Trains is a piece for string quartet based around
phrsases of normal speech. Electric Counterpoint is a pice where a
guitarist plays electric guitar accompanied by multiple layers of
recorded acoustic guitar. From there, well, there's lots, `Drumming'
is my favorite, all percussion and shifting rhythms. Desert Music is
good too. There is a CD of early works which contains `It's Gonna
Rain' which is another of my favorites.

Riley is easy :-). Start with A Rainbow in Curved Air and In C and
move on from there. Later stuff is less `minimalist' and has more
eastern influences. Salome Dances for Peace is good.

(I've got to decide who I'm going to drag with me.)
