Solid Experimental Collaboration.......2006-06-27
File under "curiosities." The kinds that indulge both the musicians' and the listeners' fetishes (not just "file this novelty record in the cut-out bin"; "curiosity" is in the plural here, making EWBT worthy of your attention). "What would happen if we set Iron Maiden melodies to Zappaesque `Peaches en Regalia' instrumentation, like `Powerslave' intervals played on the xylophone?" (This is something like the concept of their song "The Last Drop.") "What would happen if we made instrumentals with the manic drive and technical excess of Buckethead while stripping away any and all guitar soloing?" (True to their "grind" roots, Dave Witte and Chris Dodge do that on half of the songs here--they notably start the album on this note with "Kind of Black and Blue.") "How can we make the human voice sound like a didgeridoo using studio trickery?" You will be able to find out how EWBT attempt to answer questions like these if you pick up Popular Music for Unpopular People. The people who have these kinds of curiosities are indeed so unpopular that you will be extremely fortunate to even hear this kind of music on college radio (what these guys are closest to are any of the side projects Mike Patton has had outside of Faith No More--none of which are exactly jamming the Hot 100, so shell out the cash). It takes a while for these exercises in strangeness to really engage a listener, but from track 17 on, where we hear a German lesson gone surreal, it gets almost as good as experimental rock gets these days.
