Hear it Now

The first track on Fantomas' new album is its best. It's also the only song on the CD: a sprawling seventy-four-minute epic incorporating noise rock, free-form jazz, chamber music, klezmer and spooky piano lines straight out of a Halloween movie. On one hand, it's maddening, especially when the band lapses into twenty-two minutes of near silence. But Cordia demands repeated listens, if only to hear the freakish wonder that is Mike Patton's voice: The former Faith No More frontman's well-placed moans, gasps and shrieks keep the noise together and give the music a creepy, alien vibe. Not recommended for mix CDs.
