Eclectic is a bullshit word. It makes me think of funk-metal and samba influences. It makes me think of descriptions people give you of their bands when theyre too scared to admit that really theyre just dull as shit and sound like everything else. Few bands can claim to be eclectic without ultimately sounding like cocks. The mouthful of a band that is the Avenging Disco Godfathers of Soul probably could. Because to them, music is maths and theyre Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. At heart, the Godfathers are pretty much a screamo beast. But thank merry fuck that they decide to stray away from the tried and tested confines of that particular style and inject a little pizzazz into the proceedings. So alongside full-throttle screams and snarling Blood Brothers-style breakdowns they throw Crom Tech-worshipping jazz hell; ragtime basslines; percussion like bones and xylophones and teeth rattling in biscuit tins; a stealthy funk workout (that mysteriously doesnt sound like shite); eerie electronic squiggles and a healthy wallop of bebop. These kids can play their darn instruments. They can flap and squawk and thrash with the best of them, as well as noodle off into musical realms most punks arent even aware of. All with absolute fluidity, a feline grace that means they dont sound like a bunch of know-it-all schmucks who just want to impress other muso dolts with their chops and nudgenudgewinkwink references to Sun Ra recordings. Hooray and hurrah!

When I get CDs in the mail its never a surprise for me to find something from a band Ive never heard of. Usually some of these bands are good, but most are average at best. However, for some reason this release really caught my attention. Maybe it was the bands name, The Avenging Disco Godfathers of Soul (from now on Ill refer to them as the Godfathers); in fact, it definitely was the bands name. I had a feeling that this album was going to be quite interesting; I just didnt know how impressive it would turn out to be. Comparisons could be made to The Locust, An Albatross, Fantomas, or maybe even Since by Man. But it wouldnt be fair to this trio to just pin them down by saying they sound like this band. Theres so much going on in these tracks that it might leave your overwhelmed, but surprisingly everything flows together really well and even the strangest tempo/style changes seem to make sense. Just how much is going on here? In a little over a minute and a half into the CD the band goes from horror movie theme music, to melodic rock, to hardcore, to grind, to game show music. The Godfathers utilize pretty much anything they can get their grubby little hands on. Aside from the usual instruments, youll hear synthesizers, xylophones (!), and some percussion instruments that some people, me included dont know by name. Throughout the album there are odd synth passages along with bits of hardcore, jazz, metal, grind, and noise. But even with their chaos and experimentation these guys arent afraid to take a good riff and run with it. That means that instead of being overly confusing this album is just a good listen. I cant say enough about just how good this album is. It's not the easiest thing describe, but you'll be impressed once you hear it. If you like any of the aforementioned bands or if youre just interested in hearing something fresh and new, then this just might be essential for you. You can check out their mp3.com site and download some older songs plus one from this album. There isnt much left to say except "buy this!

"after, last year's lp, an all improvised cd entitled experiments, and a southastern us tour with examination of the ... and daughters, the avenging disco godfathers have brought us ten new tracks. a combination of metal, free jazz, electronics and pure melody make up the bulk of this release. they have matured and come into a sound all their own. a sound which is as unpredictable as it is intense. from the explosiveness of mr. skinny's drumming to the wall of fuzz produced by professor poison's bass lines, all emphasized by bones's intricate guitar riffs, this release attacks from the opening track to the closing credits. xylophones, electronic drums, and synthesizers are also a staple of this release. once again, proving that the avenging disco godfathers are not traditional in anyway. the new power trio, hardcore's worst enemy. ex-members of index for potential suicide and the disease.
