Secret Chiefs 3 - 1998 - Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws Hurqalya

A bizzare, semi-secret side project of Mr. Bungle and Faith No More featuring Trey Spruance (guitarist for Mr. Bungle & Faith No More), plus Danny Heifitz and Trevor Dunn of Mr. Bungle. Experimental rock thats entertaining, with elements of Indian and Middle Eastern soundtracks, left field drum n bass, atonal future surf music & more. Remastered and reissued with a previously unreleased bonus track Zulficar II. 2000 release.

damit sollte eigentlich alles klar sein Kingt wie Mr. Bungle + indische Filmmusik + Drum & Bass
Eine voellig Bizarre Truppe, von der ich bisher auch nur dieses Album kenne. Wer mehr (mehr wirres) ueber die Jungs wissen will: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Chiefs_3

Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws, Hurqalya is the follow-up to Secret Chiefs 3 excellent 1996 debut, First Grand Constitution and Bylaws. And like its predecessor, the music is a combination of Ennio Morricone movie scores, world music, experimental noise rock, and heavy metal. But this musical mix is used in an extremely unorthodox and unpredictable way -- they dont play it safe by lumping all the similar styles together. For example, theyll follow up a beautiful guitar interlude (the albums opener, "The Rose Garden of Mystery") with a jarring surf rocker ("Waves of Blood"), which will then lead to a reverb-drenched freak-out ("Broken Glass Hearse"). But the real story on the sophomore effort by Secret Chiefs 3 is guitarist/leader Trey Spruance. In addition to guitar, he produced and engineered the album, filled in for missing bassist Trevor Dunn (still a member of the band), and wrote eight of the records ten tracks. Due to the all-encompassing vision of Second Grand Constitution, it becomes obvious that a lot of work was put into it, and the end result is one of 1998s most rewarding, original, and ambitious recordings. ~ Greg
