The Butcher Says..
This was a real "band" album by a touring unit which
had become really quite ferocious. In choosing to work
with
John A. Rivers
again we felt that we were sufficiently
noisy and fierce to cope with any over- tidy production
strokes he might pull. "Clean *that* up, then, ya bastard"
was out declared policy in the group.
Of course, we under-rated him.I wanted to start to mess
with the pretty traditional song structures we were using.
We were all aware that music was changing, and, more
out of interest than out of any spurious "career" concern,
we wanted to see where we could take our pop songs using
things like breakdowns, the mixing in of "found" voices
(which we first heard NOT from Steinski or the Bryne/Brian Eno
collaboration, but from John Stapleton, a DJ who scratched
things in at early The Blue Aeroplanes, radical and unexpected changes
of sounds - a series of sonic events rather than plain
old verse/chorus structure. I probably did too much
pre-production on my (new) 4-track at home, and the whole
thing sounds a bit stillborn.

26Mar2005 11:12 AM (18 years 251 days ago)In 89, my roomate, who was a DJ at our college station and had a massive record collection, bought this album and introduced me to Pat's music. Incredible! Then, we saw him play a gig, even better! I have been a fan ever since. Though the album doesn't get much in the way of attention from ardent fans, it's strong. I got to meet Pat in 92' after a show and he autographed a poster for me - I gave it to my old roomy to returning the favor of introing me to the music.

6Mar2004 3:57 PM (19 years 271 days ago)i heard the jazz butcher back when big world scary world came out in 1989, a boyfriend of my sisters put do the bubonic plague on a mixtape for me. several thousand minutes later, i found aforementioned album on a rack of $1 cassette tapes in some mall record store. it was truly a jazz butcher conspiracy. weird things, the enjoyable kinda "i don't understand why more people do not listen to this" weird things. then again, most people watch Friends, listen to Billy Joel, and can't believe it's not butter.
