Tom McCarter
Snarky Puppy
Culcha Vulcha
Genre: Jazz
Takes jazz and stands it on its head. The group has 17 members and is all over the map. Kind of like a Danny Elfman soundtrack for a Tim Burton movie. No relation to Skinny Puppy. I loved it!
FCCs: none
Oingo Boingo, Capt. Beefheart & his Magic Band, Fred Frith, Snakefinger, Flaming Lips
Favorite Tracks: Tarova, Grown Folks, Go, The Simple Life, Palermo
Track Review: 1/ midtempo jam 2/ uptempo jam, flute featured with horns> melody change midway> flute ends 3/ bass/drums open, synth midtempo jam> synth slows to end 4/ drums start> ynth/horns join> midtempo jam> sudden stop
5/ slow synth start> spacey slow all the way,> fade 6/ bass start, uptempo> horns/synth jam> guitar solo> uptempo jam & fade 7/ heavy chords percussive start> uptempo jam builds to crescendo> quick fade 8/ synth starts slow> builds to uptempo 9/ synth stars slow> builds to midtempo
