Is/will there be a digital format for this? I quit buying vinyl quite some time ago.
thanks for the heads up. the stuff he did for the crank soundtracks was really good.
From the Ipecac Facebook: "HA! Made you look! Available on Record Store Day, all 3 albums on vinyl for first time, with space to insert the soon to be released 4th Tomahawk record coming soon!"
Fourth Tomahawk album? Wasn't expecting this and I seriously can't wait!
Mike Patton?
Yes.
Sweeet! I had a dream a few nights ago that Mr. Bungle reunited and played a show here in a thrift shop. Crazy.
I've always wanted to check out more of Mike Patton's stuff.
Where should I start?
mike wasn't in the band for the debut album. the first album he was on was "the real thing", but i would recommend "angel dust" as your first FNM album. "mit gas" by tomahawk is fantastic, as well. if you want something a little funkier, check out "california" by mr. bungle. for something more accessible, go with peeping tom.
Here are my Mondo Cane recordings;

The most accessible (and song orientated) ones for me are:
Faith No More - angel dust or album of the year
Fantomas - the director's cut
Mr Bungle - California
Peeping Tom - s/t
Tomahawk - s/t or Mit Gas
Mondo Cane - s/t
Dillinger Escape Plan - irony is a dead scene (Patton is the singer for the whole EP before Greg came in)
If you like what you hear you can dive deeper into his more radical stuff like his two solo records, earlier Mr Bungle and Fantomas stuff and his various collaboration-records.
And if all that doesn't suit your taste than stick with the Faith No More discography. You can't go wrong with that. Personally I like a lot of his stuff, but some of it (Merzbow e.g.) is too much for me.
It's funny. alot of people don't know about that Mike Patton guy I keep talking about from time to time, but as soon as I play FNMs easy for them the all go like "Oh, this is him?" and the next thing I see is destroyed faces and melted eardrums when I let some Fantomas etc. loose.
His two soundtrack works (there's only two afaik) are also quite good: Crank 2 OST and A Perfect Place but very different from each another. I yet have to see his acting debut in a indiependent film called Firecracker.
My favourite Patton releases:
FNM: King For A Day, Fool for a Lifetime is my fave. Angel Dust, The Real Thing, and Album of the Year are also all must-haves.
Mr Bungle: all three, especially Disco Volante.
Tomahawk: the first album is great, the second was rushed, but has a couple of good songs.
Peeping Tom: very much underrated.
Mondo Cane: not his greatest, but still very enjoyable.
Don't care for: most of Fantomas (The Director's Cut is the best), the soundtracks, and albums just made up of noise and screaming.
Love all FNM
Love all Tomahawk (no one here likes their 3rd album??)
Love all Mr. Bungle
Love Fantomas' Suspended Animation.
Didn't really dig Peeping Tom.
Haven't heard Mondo Cane?
FNM - Angel Dust
Mr. Bungle - California (Sweet Charity is one of my favorite songs, ever)
Fantomas - Director's Cut
Tomahawk - s/t (don't care much for the third one either)
Thoroughly enjoyed Peeping Tom.
I enjoy the third Tomahawk record alot, but I like them better as a straight forward rock-band, rather than an experimental piece. I hope the fourth one is more like their debut record.
How is there no love for Lovage in here?! Probably my favorite thing he's done outside of Faith No More.
Wow, totally forgot about that one! Xup, that also has to go in my top Patton selection! There's just too much he's done... :P
Totally forgot about that one too. great album, but I'm still sticking my list though.
the lovage album recently got re-released as a 2-disc package with the instrumental versions of the tracks on disc 2.
Don't forget about General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners!
he also did the soundtrack for a short film called "a perfect place" which is fantastic (and the soundtrack comes with the film on DVD when you buy it).
his work with kaada was great, as well. the guy is just kind of golden.
All this talk about Patton and no mention of the mystery song Faith No More played during their last couple shows, late last year?
Could be a brand new song, or an unreleased song. Hopefully they plan on actually releasing it.
Mike Patton is and always was fucking awesome. Nothing else needs to be said.
Egg.. now that was tune!
Some awesome Patton tracks from off the beaten path:
mr bungle reunion in time for summer 2013 festivals, but patton is working on some fnm material (!!!) and whatever new tomahawk ends up being first
lets say i know some guys in that club, all it took was trey and mike talking again
