    This guy is just stinkin' amazing! You'll hear one of his songs, the industrial-crazy "Lament," on this issue's Hard Music Sampler, but this is only one (wacky) side to this prolific player. Frank Hart once called this guy the best bass player on the planet. He certainly could be argued as so. He alternates between ambient noodling on bass with vocalized songs of varied genres. Fans of Fourth Estate and Under Midnight and even Fold Zandura should find something very pleasing here.
