I preferred to delve into the Circulus, I didn’t think they had made so many. I've noted them down and as soon as I have some time, I’ll look for some reviews.

But I give a three to what, if you haven't heard it? You're doing it on purpose to hurt me, to make me jealous. Slut.

Maybe I've listened to it a few million times, but I find it absolutely "sense". It took me five or six years since it was released, and I bought it when I still understood little, but it's all sense; maybe it needs to be listened to a million times, so maybe you're right. I would want to give it a 1 for that "side-project of Mike Patton," which is really something I hate reading everywhere. Mr. Bungle was a band formed in the mid-‘80s, where a young kid named Mike Patton sang along with many other brilliant people. They weren't a side-project; above all, they weren't a Patton band; yes, Patton sang, but they weren't his. I would want to give it a 1 because you didn't mention even once the true mastermind behind this masterpiece, named Trey Spruance, who played guitar, sax, keyboards, and samplers here, and wrote most of the pieces along with Trevor Dunn. In the end, the review is nice; it just becomes awful because this is Patton's record where Patton is the least present.

I saw them more than once, the last time at a New Year's Eve party in a fancy North African hotel; there were quite a few, and they were very distinctive. Then I saw one this summer as well, but he was alone, and in a black outfit: less distinctive.

This is the record with the most powerful production I have ever heard. The windows shake even if you play it on the stereo won with points from the Girella. On a serious sound system, it's an unconventional weapon. Truly a masterclass in production for everyone.

Raf, I didn’t know about Holland’s work prior to Davis, which albums can I find it on? Lately, I’ve been listening to him a lot (he’s definitely the jazz musician I’ve listened to the most this fall) and I’ve also borrowed some of his DVDs, I’d love to hear him in the Pre-Davis era.

Yes, but we are talking about people, not machines. It's not that everything is always chosen based on actual work or monetary performance. Patton knows very well that if he makes another record with Trey Spruance, it will be a blast and sell at least 200,000 copies, but they can't stand each other, so he makes records with Kaada, who he likes. Parker evidently liked Davis; he saw something good in him, and besides, he was Charlie Parker and knew he could mentor a rookie. Let's always remember we are talking about Charlie Parker, not Donald Duck and his orchestra. When Davis took Dave Holland, it didn't seem like Holland was some kind of monster; he was a good kid eager to play and to take lots of acid. Just watch a live performance by Dave Holland now and tell me if Davis didn't make the right choice. Davis could have called anyone; he was Miles Davis, yet he called Baby Holland. We're pretty much in the same ballpark.

I believe that the Charlie Parker situation comes down to a choice for the human side. Miles was a born leader, he had charisma, he drew people in, he was a revolutionary at heart, sharp and clever, in short, he was cool. Everything I've read or heard about Miles described him as a special person, someone magnetic. Charlie Parker was certainly no fool, and he saw in Miles a potential rising star. Moreover, Parker was taking heavy hits, Miles was also taking heavy hits, and they likely became friends through opium and drunkenness. Anyway, in my opinion, Miles was a truly great genius. Beyond the phrasing and all the technical stylistic stuff about his trumpet playing, a Miles Davis record is a thousand times more enjoyable for me than a Navarro or a Gillespie. A record is a record as a whole; it doesn’t all have to come from the trumpet. In other trumpet players’ records, it’s all trumpet seasoned with other stuff, while on Miles' records, everyone plays, and they are also very metal, since all the members do a great job.

Well, always from a non-technical listener's perspective (I don't know how to play any instrument), Metheny seems to me to be multifaceted and very advanced. Maybe his solo albums, let’s not even say maybe, are nice lengthy pieces too focused on showcasing how fast Pat is. However, when he joins other heavyweights of such caliber that he’s not the only star on stage, I really enjoy it. With Pastorius on the first album, both of them drive me crazy; of course, he needs a good bassist to "steal" a bit of the spotlight, even with Dave Holland, for example, but wow, does it pay off. He might be a show-off, that’s true, but damn, he can pull it off; he’s Pat Metheny, for crying out loud. Similarly, I understand that a musician might be more bothered by his vanity than I am, considering I'm not in the scene and never will be.
