Has anyone ever heard 'Adult Themes for Voice' by Mike Patton?

It's a seriousley **** up album. The whole thing was recorded in hotel rooms around the world using a mic, a 4 track & a few weird effects. It's one of the sickest albums I've ever heard!!
Yeah, I like Fantomas. "Adult Themes..." is absolutely mad. I seem to remember my favourite being a track where he sounded like a hamster...!

Saw Mr Bungle live that was a very odd show. Patton is indeed a complete legend.
