 Mike F'n Patton

| I swear if I ever meet Mike, I'll scream like a stupid teenage girl. For those of you who hate the soundtrack then screw you man. The whole thing is worth your money, I haven't seen the film yet but apparently it is shorter than the album. It's not insane like Bungle or many of Mike's other bands, this is different but you know it has what Patton does best. You get the great big band (listening to Mike's jazz influenced got me into some of that stuff) music along with some killer old Jazz. It has Mike singing on some songs (one in italian i think) and the usual weird noises you hear on Mr. bungle albums. It can be slow, loud, or just plain weird. It's swing, traditional pop, vocal, and it's Mike Patton! No wrong with that. Oh and Mike, Molto bene! |

Mike Patton fans and those simply curious will want to consider picking this one up. This movie soundtrack is quite different from his work on the Tzadik label (Adult Themes for Voice and Pranzo Oltranzista) and also more tempered and accessible.
A Perfect Place is packaged with both a short film and it's music together on two separate discs. Neither film or music is a total masterpiece, but each has moments of brilliance and intrigue to keep the eyes and ears attuned. What is great about Mike Patton as a film composer is that he doesn't simply rely on a string section alone like many film scores do. Like his friend and mentor John Zorn, Patton is unafraid to pull from Rock, Avant, Big Band, and general noise-making (two tracks are of a radio dial being tuned) to suit the right mood for each piece.
All that said however I don't really think as a album it holds up as strong as it could. The CD is only a scant 35 minutes, mostly consisting of instrumentals, but there are a few moments where Patton gets to flex his vocals a bit in the way he did in his Mr. Bungle days. I don't play this CD much, but when I do I come away feeling it was a good purchase. |

| What a great film score. It fits the film perfectly and not only shows patton's influences but is weird and original enough to compliment the rest of his catalog. great, jazzy, and old timey. The film although simple, is highly enoyable with humourous dialog and a great sense of irony and buffoonery. Pick this up now. |

Great jazzy music, and a decent little short film staring one of my personal favorites, Bill Mosley.
Good set.
I find it humorous how Patton made the "soundtrack" twice as long as the film.
:P |

Not his best...

...but an admirable foray into the realm of motion picture soundtracks. There aren't any real stand-out tracks, but as a record (am I the only person who still listens to entire records?), this soundtrack works. Definitely better than the soundtracks for Footloose or Muriel's Wedding. Let's hear it for the boy!
