Fantomas - Suspended Animation.

Where do I start with this... Blue balled for about an hour with hints of great riffs and lovely drumming. "You like that riff do you? Well you can have it twice and no more". Oh they'll repeat some bits no bother, the little jaunty bits with the lad spazzing out over a few ding dong wheeee samples, but never the payoff unless it's for a maximum of two bars, and the two bars are split by Patton scatting his heart out to make sure there's no flow to it.

It'll probably grow on me.

Fantomas - The Director's Cut

So for the payoff I had to go and put this far far superior album on. It gives me a bit of the Mr. Bungle California vibes, mostly because of Patton being allowed to use all his toys again but also the source material lends to that vibe when it's put through these arrangements. Brilliant.
