Yeah, yeah. yeah, this has been around for a while, but it's not like I've already reviewed it. I could begin by listing everyone in Pigface and saying what bands they're from, but that would be redundant for one thing. I'm sure you've heard the namedropping a few million times already. For another thing, I personally find Pigface music more interesting than that of most of the other bands anyway. Take a large mish-mash of varying musical styles, add them, and improve, and what do you get...chaos? No. Pigface has definitely come a long way since Gub, the various musicians have grown together and created a style that can be raucous, fun, powerful, melodic, and still completely now together. I'm still in love with the addition of Barb Hunter on cello, managing to range from a classical style to bass accompaniment. And, as always, Mall Schultz's ATG sets an interesting variety into the songs. One of my favorite aspect of Pigface is that if I listen to records that sound like the same song repeating, I get severely bored but, with this band's constant persona fluctuation; (only surpassed by This Mortal Coil in large #'s of non-static members), there's no mistaking the variety. Take vocal ranges from Lesley Rankine's sneering contrast to Chris Connelly on “Ten Ground Or Down,” or Mary Byker on the high parts of “Hips, Tits, Lips, and Power' to the guttural clash of Ogre and En Esch on “I'm Still Alive.” Or musical range — grunge, rock, classical, techno, etc. — take your pick. I'm sure you'll find at least an aspect of it here! If you haven't checked Pigface out yet, do it. If you didn't like their earlier releases, give this one a try. -- Jasmine Sailing (PULSE)
