I was on the AllMusic website and they had an AllMusic Blog called Mike Patton 101. All of you Mike Patton fans are probably well aware of everything there, but I thought that it might be of interest so I created this thread to attach a link. Let me know what you think.

I find it impressive that they completely ignore his Zorn projects, which comprise some of his best work.

| When I read it a few days ago it seemed kind of condescending...or something like that. Maybe I was just tired. |

It's a nice overview of his works, especially for newcomers to him, although I agree with Jake that his Zorn collaborations shouldn't have been ignored. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! http://www.last.fm/music/Exerior" rel="nofollow - EXERIOR Experimental tech/death/progmetal from Norway! |

| Well, at least they mention that the Zorn collabs did exist even if they didn't do a full thing on them. |

Speaking of which you should really check out Astronome; Patton with Joey Baron and Trevor Dunn, Zorn acting as composer/conductor but not actually playing. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

I love Six Litanies, that one's next on my list. BTW, would I like Moonchild, Songs Without Words if I like Litanies? I read a lot of mixed reviews. ------------- |

Litanies is pretty much an extension of Astronome, except I like Litanies more. After many listens, I'm totally in love with it.

I figured that much, from what I read. Astronome has been one of my top priorities since I heard Litanies. I guess I'll grab Songs Without Words after that, because apparently Astronome is an extension of it.

| Don't get me wrong, Astronome is great, and it has even a bit more dynamic range, but Litanies has more textural diversity. The sax and the organ and the female voices aren't there. |
