Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich: Bask

Lightning never strikes twice, they say, but it does happen. Bask is the second collaborative album by multi-instrumentalists Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich and it does not sound much like their first Monday. There is quite a lot of demented funk on it, thanks to bringing in drummer Bill Ray, and some decidedly weird vocals can be heard in each track, with guest Donna Ray in full-on freak mode a la Captain Beefheart on two of them.

Bask is a maze, a musical kaleidoscope that can induce dizziness but in a good way. It is a trip without any of the nasty side-effects, but once you're in, there is no way out. To be enjoyed in one sitting for maximum effect and enjoyment.
