I remember a fine day back in early 1999, still in college, still on a dialup net connection (all of 5k/second) and using Napster to reacquire old tunes I used to have on cassette tapes for my computer. While getting some tracks from Faith No More's 'The Real Thing' album I noticed a particular user had some Mr. Bungle as well, I remembered the name from seeing their t-shirts in magazines back in the day and figured, why not?

So I queued Merry Go Bye-Bye and The Existential Blues to download.

Anyone familiar with those tracks knows what happened next (my head exploded a little). It was also the launching point to get into more experimental and avant garde music like Frank Zappa, John Zorn, and The Secret Chiefs 3.
