Sounds good! Remember waiting in line to buy that album when it came out and saw them on the California tour that fall. Still have my bumper sticker.

Nice.  Would've killed to see those songs live.  I'd imagine it would be super challenging to pull most of it off and not have it be messy af.

Yeah all I really knew about music at the time was trying to keep time in a three piece garage band and watching those professionals at work was something to behold.

And I mean that's still all I really know about music too hahah with a little more electronic knowledge

yo that's nice! i've never been into Bungle but your take is good.... reminds me a bit of the feel of something off Lusk's Free Mars album. 

[Zephyr_Nova]

Thanks man!  Have you given their California album a listen through?  It's quite stunning.

Haven't heard Lusk, will have to check it out.

I've never listened to Mr. Bungle, but this is GREAT as fuck. Is that you on vocals? Holy shit.

[Zephyr_Nova]

Thanks a lot!

That is me on vocals - had a blast working on the harmony arrangement.  I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much.  You should def check out Mr. Bungle's California album.  It's a masterpiece.

Also, this one blew up on the Bungle facebook for a day.  It got more listens in that 24 hour period than any of my other tracks have total.  I was half expecting them to tear me apart for butchering a classic, but the response ended up being overwhelmingly positive.
