Mr. Bungle: Mr. Bungle CD Track Listing
Mr. Bungle
Mr. Bungle (1991)
(C) 1991 Warner Bros Records Inc.\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nWhen Mr. Bungle's debut album was released in the summer of 1991, the band was wrongly given \nthe title of "Mike Patton's side project." In reality, Patton (listed as "Vlad Drac" on the album) was in \nMr. Bungle before joining Faith No More. While there are a few similarities to FNM (airy keyboards, \ncrunchy guitar riffs, Patton's unmistakable vocals, etc.), they are really two completely different \nbands. Although Faith No More's music can be quite daring, their songs are rooted in conventional \nsong structures, whereas Mr. Bungle's music is a bit more eccentric. Their debut would turn out to \nbe not as focused and fully realized as their next album (1995's Disco Volante), but the groundwork \nwould be laid for their future triumph. The musical ideas are all over the place on such tracks as the \nJohn Travolta/Patrick Swayze tribute "Quote Unquote" (originally titled "Travolta," then quickly \nrenamed when the lawyers came around), the rubbery funk and ska of "Carousel," and the \nuncomfortable anger of "My Ass Is on Fire." The group's unique sense of humor sometimes works \nwell ("Egg"), while floundering at other times (the one-dimensional "The Girls of Porn"). The \noutlandish John Zorn co-produced the record with the band, encouraging Mr. Bungle to indulge in \nall of their demented fantasies. It's a good thing he did.\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nArtists : \n\nDavid Bryson Engineer, Mixing \nTrevor Dunn Bass \nDanny Heifetz Drums \nJennifer Vocals (bckgr) \nKahli Vocals (bckgr) \nAnthony Lee Design \nTheobald Brooks Lengyel Saxophone \nDavid Louapre Artwork \nBob Ludwig Mastering \nMaximum Bob Vocals (bckgr) \nMr. Bungle Producer \nMatt Murman Digital Editing, Editing, Assistant Engineer \nMike Patton Vocals, Vocals \nScummy Guitar \nDavid Shea Turntables \nTrey Spruance Group Member \nLisa Wells Photo Typesetting \nJohn Zorn Producer \n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
