In the past, five lions joined together to create Voltron and six construction vehicles formed Devastator. Keeping this idea of combining complimentary units together to create a colossus, Praxis was formed in 1992. Comprising no less than 25 legendary musicians over its 15 year run, Praxis exceeds genre specifics and stretches customary musical boundaries. Tennessee 2004 is a documentation of Praxis”s set at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.

If your brain runs in a complex manner, you could figure that by combining the city and date in the album title, it would equal Bonnaroo, but myself having a hamster brain, I didn”t put two and two together. It wasn”t until after the first track “Vertebrae”, when upon hearing the crowd cheer, I knew this was live. Praxis”s music is almost too complex to be performed in person. The lineup that entertained the sun-baked in the fields of middle America was Buckethead, Brain, Bernie Worrell and Laswell. Okay, close your mouth and take a breath or you”ll be hyperventilating before everyone gets through their solo.

Knowing even brief bits about these musicians” histories gives you a glimpse of what you”ll get here. The behemoth is formed from scorching guitars, running bass, time-piece drumming and funk keyboards. In the hot Tennessee sun of 2004, a three hundred foot robot indeed did “the robot”, when the sound pulsing through its units wasn”t shredding the air and verifiably frying its circuits. Praxis is a collective of music”s finest, but free reign and an ability to draw from each others” diverse backgrounds make them a true monster. Tennessee 2004 is what happens when you let the beast outside and give him a stage to play on. Scintillating.

jaja, irgendwo im buckethead-universum sind praxis zu verorten.
bin begeistert von ihren industrial-lastigen scheiben um 1994, aber das hier probiere ich auch gerne aus

@humus
Welche Praxis Platten können dich denn noch richtig begeistern?

Reingehört habe ich quasi schon in alles, aber außer der Transformation (inkl. Livefassung derselben) und Metatron ist nicht wirklich was hängen geblieben.

die sacrifist von 1994 finde ich super. richtig räudiger industrial metal mit einer herrlich düsteren stimmung und trotzdem viel abwechslung.

Genau an der hat der Zorn wohl auch ganz gut mit gedoktert

Ich kenne nur Transmutations und die jetzt bald und fand Transmutations sehr ansprechend.
