Sad faces (where is Buckethead?)

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Praxis is a band that doesn't stand still. Each album is different from the last with no 2 being alike. Mold is no exception. Gone are the classic members Bootsy, Bernie, Brain Yamatsuka, and Buckethead(the reason I like Praxis). Instead what we have here is Bil Laswell and a team of people Ive never heard of, playing techno music. Not the dance techno, electronic is a better description. Fans of Transmutation and Metatron may want to leave this one off their lists. This one is more like 1984 completed and a little bit of Warsazwa. NO SHRED HERE! NO PHAT BRAIN BEATS OR BOOTSY LICKS! The two stars are for the tracks Electric Soil and Sqlxzm which are the only standouts from the 2 times Ive listened to this cd since i bought it Friday (its monday now). Electric Soil is part of a qoute from Beethoven so it has a beethoven feel. With my Prtaxisw collection almost complete I am glad to have this but money could be much better spent."
