The second album by Bill Laswell’s band, with an odd mix of sounds. Although most of the band’s oeuvre is centered on more straightforward funk-rock, this record is rather eclectic.

Core band:
Bill Laswell: bass
Buckethead: guitar
Brain (previously of Primus and Guns N’ Roses): drums

Guests:
Bernie Worrell: keyboards on ‘Crossing’
Bootsy Collins: bass and vocals on ‘Deathstar’ (both Worrell and Collins were in Parliament-Funkadelic)
Yamatsuka Eye (of Boredoms): vocals
Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn): vocals
John Zorn: saxophone
Andy Hawkins: guitar
Gabriel Katz: bass
Ted Epstein: drums (Hawkins, Katz and Epstein all from Blind Idiot God, whose albums Laswell has produced)

      I’ve been a fan of Bill Laswell since mid-2000s, and I like Bandcamp a lot. Imagine my elation when I discovered that some poor person was uploading all the nearly-two-hundred of Laswell’s releases on his official account, with free access. There are 229 records there currently, though this includes re-releases in 24-bit and such. But that’s not even all: there’s a second Bandcamp for some reason, much of his production work is not on the main account (possibly under individual artists), and nothing released by John Zorn and his label Tzadik is on Bandcamp at all, save for one album by some fluke.
