Film music and the artier end of the rock spectrum have enjoyed a slightly bent connection since the early '80s, when the noir-savvy California new wavers of Wall of Voodoo made clear Ennio Morricone's influence on their work. Fantomas's second album, The Director's Cut, is in that somewhat playful spirit. The all-star ensemble--ex-Faith No More frontman Mike Patton with members of Slayer, the Melvins, and Patton's Mr. Bungle--adapts disturbing (or at least spooky) themes by Bernard Herrmann, Henry Mancini, Morricone, and others. The bruising but often campy (there is no track 13) result works more often than you'd expect; Nino Rota's Godfather and Harry Lubin's (TV) One Step Beyond excerpts are put through more than effective paces. It's clear that, despite the occasional (inadvertent?) Iron Maiden homage, Patton and friends have no interest in keeping a straight face on this. That's fine, but Patton's goofy lyrical interjections on several of these tunes turns them into not-very-funny cartoons. Still, it's the rare sympathetic listener who won't be driven to check out obscure flicks like Der Golem and The Devil Rides Out. --Rickey Wright

Mike Patton's Fantomas Project........2007-05-13

I am a huge fan of Mike Patton's work and this band 'Fantomas' is no exception. Whatever Mike Patton does is really worth a listen. This album is Mike Pattons and Fantomas's take on popular television scores like 'Cape Fear' 'Twin Peaks'. His skill in arrangement and vocal melodies are amazing, and reflects in all of Fantomas's albums. Currently this album is my favourite of the Fantomas discography.

Astonishing !!.......2006-08-15

I was very astonished by the titles of this CD then when listening to, Oh My God !
: )
I think this is THE REPRISE'S ALBUM of the decade !!
A plus for the Twin Peaks one that had the biggest echoes in my mind...

The quintessential Fantomas album.......2006-07-18

Director's Cut: The version of a film in which the editing process is overseen, executed, or approved by the director, usually including footage not included in the standard release.

This is the case with Fantomas' The Director's Cut, a compilation album of sixteen movie themes which Mike Patton and the amazing band behind him re-interpret in their dementedly creative musical vision. With drum god Dave Lombardo behind the skins, and two other friends of Patton's: guitarist Buzz Osbourne from the Melvins and bassist Trevor Dunn from Mr Bungle, the quartet offer their take on some of the most interesting movies we've seen. Since none of these pieces were originally composed by Mike Patton, you have to bear in mind that some of the songs still carry with them the fingerprints of the original composers, which include Ennio Morricone, Henry Mancini, and Nuno Rota. However, the versions on this disc differ vastly from the ones on the original movies, hence the appropriate title The Director's Cut.

Some of the material on this 39-minute disc barely qualifies as "songs" per se, ranging from as little as a few seconds to the maximum of three-plus minutes. Out of the sixteen cuts, the average song length is around 2:00 minutes, alternating between insanely chaotic and brutal to almost childish. "The Godfather" is a prime example of the former description, starting in a creepy manner, picking up a deep bass riff, and delving deep into a fast and heavy sonic explosion. Patton screams, shrieks, growls and grunts. Like a soul possessed by demons, his "singing" is paranoid and unlike anything you've heard from him, given you're only familiar with his work with Faith No More and Mr Bungle. In the blink of an eye, a muted riff arises beneath Patton's vocals to complement Lombardo's sickeningly fast double bass drums and leaves the listener completely baffled. Again, without being able to grasp what's going on, the music quietens down and retreats to the original "The Godfather" theme, as if nothing has happened. And this is only the beginning.

"Der Golem" is pure death metal battery, portraying Mike Patton as one of the most prolific vocalists ever. Dave Lombardo gets to show his jazz inspirations with ever-ringing crash cymbals and head-spinning drum rolls. Effect-laden soundscapes push the aggressive piece into a much unexpected realm, featuring Patton's beast-like grunts and tortured screams in a mini-second. As if that's not enough, Lombardo, Osbourne and Dunn quickly team up to create a Meshuggah-like ending, so precise yet so heavy.

It's not all extreme vocals though. On the contrary, "Experiment in Terror" and "Spider Baby" are just two of the songs that put Patton's more humourous side to the fore. Epic and calm, the former has him singing (happily) almost like a woman; whereas the latter is centred entirely around Dunn's majestic bass and comprised of predominantly spoken vocals (some of which are hummed) and eerie keyboards. Patton also displays more of his versatility on "Charade", complete with church organs, African rhythms (Lombardo playing hand drums?), and more woman-like singing. The cinematic quality of "Rosemary's Baby" is most prevalant, considering the crying babies, odd backing harmonies that contrast Patton's child-like and then deeply ominous vocals respectively. On top of that, there are marching guitar riffs filling the song along with bells and even acoustic guitars.

The other songs feature very few vocals, if any at all. "One Step Beyond" is another study in death metal minus the growling. Instead, Patton chooses to scream over the piece, while Lombardo comfortably breaks his kick-drum speed record amidst cascading crescendos. "Night of the Hunter" and "Cape Fear", while following each other on the album, are so different it's not even funny anymore. The first one is just organs and sound effects while "Cape Fear" is the album's daring piece, laced with distant vocals, big drums, and a sweet, addictive guitar theme. The remix of "The Devil Rides Out" has Patton basically crooing as the suspense increases each passing second. Likewise, the drone sounds on "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" is absolutely stunning. It begins in silence. All you can hear is a single drum beat every ten seconds. Then, the bass and guitars introduce themselves, creating utter chaos, yet in a strangely beautiful way. Traces of Patton's Mr Bungle stylings come through on "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion", which would be the darkest song had it not been for the deliberately thrown humourous elements. The last twenty seconds of this piece are downright paralyzing.

If you've never heard any Fantomas before, despite its extreme and avant leanings, I'd suggest you start with The Director's Cut, as their first album is even more difficult (with no lyrics, just randomly "sung" made-up words) and their last one is a single-track composition of 74 minutes. Still, both albums are must-haves if you're a fan of experimental, avant garde, and extreme music. This is not for the typical Faith No More fan I'm afraid.

So, Patton released a covers album, eh?.......2006-01-30

Well, not quite. The only Fantomas album I've heard that really grabbed me, Director's Cut is a great album for those who want something dark and bizarre yet also catchy and dramatic. A covers album you say? Well, of sorts. Here, a selection of film scores are rearranged for buzzing guitars, pounding bass, thrashing drums and experimental vocals. Its scary, beautiful, epic and plain f'ing weird.

Those of you expecting the off the wall, jazz tinged, avant garde sound of Mr Bungle will be dissappointed (as was I at first, if I'm honest). Fantomas is a much more metallic, stripped down and altogether darker experience. Patton's vocals are all over the place as ever but those of you who think he indulges too much in being odd will be pleased to hear that he's just as capable of singing powerfully as is of expanding the horizons of what really constitutes a vocalist. The songs all have their own identity (due to, essentially, being written by totally different people) but the way the band arrange and play them also ensures a sense of continuity.

As I said before, Director's Cut is the only Fantomas album I've gotten into so far but I highly recommend it for experimental metal fans.

It's Bungle-Quality ladies and gents.......2005-12-02

This album is PHENOMENAL. Where am I coming from when I say this? Well, Mr. Bungle is probably my favorite band ever, and Patton is my favorite performer. However, I've never been excited about any of Fantomas or Tomahawk's releases. In fact, I've found them quite disappointing, and I never listen to my copies of any of them. So I'd kind of given up on Fantomas altogether until I saw the Director's Cut for $6.99 used a few weeks back and figured "what the hell".

I don't know what it is about the music on this CD, but I haven't been this satisfied with a Patton release since I first heard Mr Bungle back in 1997, and then again after California was released some years later.

SO TO SUMMARIZE: I never thought I would be this impressed with the work of Mike Patton again. Every song on this album is unique and incredibly satisfying. Just so you don't think I'm some drooling fanboy who gives rave-reviews to every album, I'll rate a few other Bungle/Fantomas albums as well for you so you can get a gauge on my levels-

Mr. Bungle S/T- A+
Disco Volante- B
California- A

Fantomas S/T- C
Delirium Cordova- B
Suspended Animation- B+
**The Director's Cut**- A+

(by the way, if you still haven't heard Dillinger Escape Plan's 4 track release starring Mike Patton, that's another MUST BUY album)

Customer Reviews:

Brian would be proud!.......2006-08-21

As someone who appreciates experimental and pop music equally, I have to say that this album features the best of each. Songs like Godstar and Just Like Arcadia are great pop (in the context of Psychic TV) songs, while A Mind Blown Is a Mind Throne and Abstract Reality showcase the band's avant garde sensibilities. Instead of the album feeling schizophrenic, it actually fits together somehow, offering variation rather than incoherence. The more experimental songs are by no means unlistenable or boring; on the contrary they are the most rewarding in my opinion. The cover songs add a period feel while touches such as P-Orridge's spoken word during the climax of Good Vibrations remind you that this is from the man who was once called a "wrecker of civilization".
The liner notes are a real treat. The essay by P-Orridge gives a lot of information, not just on the making of these songs but also on the history of his fascination with Brian Jones.
The more I listen to these disks, the more I wish Psychic TV's early albums were still in print. Thankfully, we have this.

the tragedy of brain jones.......2004-12-03

im sorry to have to correct the other reviewer on here, but i feel the need to clarify the information at hand. this is the soundtrack to a movie that was never made (read the booklet for more info) on BRIAN JONES, not brian wilson. the opening lines of the title track should be enough to alert you of this particular fact. "this is a story/a very special story/it's about brain jones/the one on the rolling stones". do they do a cover of good vibrations? yes. does that have anything to do with anything? not really, i think they just dug the song.
that aside...
this album was previous released as an unfinished work under the title 'allegory and self: the starlit mire'. this was always one of my favorite ptv releases, but DONT GO GET IT!!! get this one instead. this is the album as it was intended to be. remastered and finalised, this is an AWESOME release that any fan is sure to adore. get it get it get it!

One of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.......2004-11-26

I have read in the booklet that the movie on Brian Wilson ("Godstar") were to be shot in 1986. Psychic TV then never made it and now has released the soundtrack in 2004. What a great idea.
Me and my friends are extremely surprised because of the extraordinary quality of the songs. You will not find something similar. Strange, fresh, virtous musicians, same dark aspects in it. Some songs by Brian Wilson as great cover versions. My favourite is "Just like Arcadia". I have been listening to it for weeks now.

Customer Reviews:

Very evocative........2007-03-13

One of the many ways in which Martin Scorsese changed the world of movies was his use of music as both a potent motor of plot and an instant indicator of character and milieu.
When he made "Mean Streets" back in the early Seventies, the notion of licensing music rights was not even a twinkle in corporate lawyers' eyes, so he simply went ahead and "borrowed" whatever music he wanted. Indeed, it would probably have been impossible at the time to discover who actually owned the rights to such long-forgotten Fifties doo-wop marvels as The Paragons' "Florence" and The Chips' comically gymnastic "Rubber Biscuit".
The result was the best pop soundtrack ever assembled, albeit one legally impossible to release as an album.
This two-disc anthology offers compensation aplenty, however, mingling these gems with copious tranches from later films, notably "GoodFellas" and "Casino".
Throughout, the impeccable taste of Scorsese and his musical director Robbie Robertson is clear, from old cabaret chestnuts to blues and soul classics.
HIGHLIGHTS: 'Rubber Biscuit', 'Speedo', 'I'll Take You There', 'Out Of Left Field', 'Late For The Sky'.

Mr. Begg has recorded under a number of aliases and projects,
most recently S.I. Futures. This marks his first proper album under his own name, and is fantastic. This is what Kraftwerk might sound like now if they were as interested in creating innovative music as they are cycling.
But while the Kraftwerk influence is huge, Begg also mixes up the styles: breakbeat, UK garage, and, most notably,
dancehall on "Moveup". The album fades a little toward the end, but overall, easily among the top 3 "electronica" releases of the year.

u need to buy this CD, its super dope.......2003-03-08

Man, i was expectin a good CD when i bought this, but i wasn't expectin this kinda quality. Every track is ridin on a super sick beat that is only made possible by Take One and None. Also the lyrics laid down on the tracks are more than just musically sound, they're deep. So i urge u to order it right now, u wont be dissapointed with this.

Rhymin' and Shinin'.......2001-06-29

This tight little EP compilation displays real aspects of b-boyism' and raw production/lyricism from a variety of different angles. Dr. Oop and Samson S provide the stand out material here, with Bedroom Produksionz clocking in a few seconds behind on "Just Say When". PM lags on "Monsterous",however, and the beat alone will have mad heads reaching for the 'track skip' button on their Sony Discman. The paranoid lyrics on "Stereotypical" also will lose cats whose heads are still vibrating from the banger "Who Knows". Worth a listen, the solid tracks will have this one in your CD player more than a few times. Also, the overall modesty of the MCs is a nice change of pace from the typical braggadocio with no back up. Afterall, we are talkin' about hip-hop here, aren't we?

Some shine, and some don't...This EP does.......2000-09-12

I walk into Old School Pizza in downtown Olympia, WA in sometime around May, with my boy Spoonz, and I see Take One standing there with a smile on his face. He hands me and Spoonz a copy of the new EP...and then I start to smirk. It wont be until later that the same smile will grace my face. After a short conversation, I headed back to the crib and popped in the CD. From the first few seconds of the intro, I know this was the dopest EP of the year. Take One and DJ None had hooked up again. The same kids that brought you "Emergency Breaks" have now brought The Shinin'. Not only does this EP feature the cuts and production from 2 of the LA area's dopest DJs, but it features some of the dopest emcees from all over the west coast. Emcees like PM, Dr. Oop, Universal, Vitamin D, Samson S., J-Thorn, and Bedroom Produksionz keep the EP hot from the second it drops. Over incredible beats by None and Take One, this entire crew introduces Drunk Decibel Records to the world in a way that no other crew has presented themselves before. So everyone cop the album, and squint your eyes, cause these heads are about to be Shinin'.
