About Me |
|
| East Coast meets West. Kings of beat juggling and turntable trickery The X-Ecutioners (Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, Roc Raida and Total Eclipse) throw down with the master of voice and electronic manipulation Mike Patton. Ready for war? Here we go.
Musical war veterans Mike Patton and The X-Ecutioners lay deep down in the trenches throwing back and forth scratches and scowls to the underlying beats that only The X-Ecutioners could bring into battle. They conquer all genres here leaving no stone un turned. From Latin to Jazz, Blue Grass to Soul, Indian to Sixties Psych, they rule with an iron fist. The collaboration came about after both factions performed a few improvisational live shows together. With the sweet scent of chemistry soon wafting through the air, it was decided to take it a step further - collaborate on a full-on recording. Patton supplied the X-Men (as they are also known) with select records from his collection to build 'blocks of sound' with, before the singer added overdubs and concentrated on whipping the sounds into full-fledged arrangements. What followed is the first recording that Patton has ever recorded and mixed into his own computer, without the aid of anyone else. What you get are 23 tracks that approximate a head-on collision between hip-hop and the wild and whacky world of Ipecac. Featuring both structured compositions and tracks that give 'cut and paste' a whole new meaning, GENERAL PATTON VS. THE X-ECUTIONERS is an audio feast, albeit for those with a strong stomach. Who else but Patton could come up with "Duelling Banjo Marching Drill," which sees the singer assuming the persona of a drill instructor (that would make Louis Gossett Jr. and R. Lee Ermey green with envy)?The four-man army is eyeing their first full-fledged tour in 2005. Get ready to fall in line and salute - LEFT SHOULDER, HUT! RELATED ARTIST ON MY SPACE.COM |
