Relatively more conventional are his contributions to the Tzadik label's <I>Great Jewish Music</I> tribute series, highlighted by his spastic, over-the-top version of T-Rex's "Chariot Choogle." He actually sings on that one, too. - Will YorkPower Electronics/Noiseen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:27:56 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7723&rws=%2Fmike-patton%2Fdiscography.rss Those who only know Patton as "that guy from Faith No More" (or even via his work in the more experimental bands Mr. Bungle and Fantomas) are in for a surprise upon hearing his solo albums. <I>Adult Themes for Voice</I> (1996) was recorded entirely a cappella using only a four-track and a microphone (no effects), but you'd never guess it given the range of hisses, gurgles, explosions, and Industrial-grade noise blasts on hand. <I>Pranzo Oltranzista</I> (1997) was inspired by the Italian <I>Futurist Cookbook</I>, and alternates sections of eerie suspense with jarring noise outbursts; it supports the Futurist credo that "art, in fact, can be nothing but violence, cruelty, and injustice."
