Praxis — Sacrifist [1993, jazz-metal / noise-rock / dub / hiphop]
The second album by Bill Laswell’s band, with an odd mix of sounds. Although most of the band’s oeuvre is centered on more straightforward funk-rock, this record is rather eclectic.
Core band:
Bill Laswell: bass
Buckethead: guitar
Brain (previously of Primus and Guns N’ Roses): drumsGuests:
Bernie Worrell: keyboards on ‘Crossing’
Bootsy Collins: bass and vocals on ‘Deathstar’ (both Worrell and Collins were in Parliament-Funkadelic)
Yamatsuka Eye (of Boredoms): vocals
Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn): vocals
John Zorn: saxophone
Andy Hawkins: guitar
Gabriel Katz: bass
Ted Epstein: drums (Hawkins, Katz and Epstein all from Blind Idiot God, whose albums Laswell has produced)
Yeah there’s a lot on his bandcamp. Some gets quite samey, I much prefer his non ambient dub stuff, although that is still very solid and enjoyable.
Btw, he’s made two compilations of actual oldschool dub, called ‘Trojan Dub Massive’ — they’re very good. I also like the illbient compilation ‘Axiom Dub: Mysteries of Creation’.
Yep those are ace!
