If you don't like the collective works of Mike Patton, move along. There's nothing to see here.
I made this mix for a friend. I didn't want this to just be my favorite songs, I wanted to cover the wide ranges of each band. As such, I'm sure I left off something that someone out there will say 'how can you make a Patton mix and not use...' Well there's only 80 minutes to a mix, so toughen up, Nancy.
This is a hard one for me to make since I'm such a fanboy. Every track I had to cut was like giving up a family member to satiate a pack of rabid wolves. But in a bad way.
I started by listing all of the tracks I might want to use. That gave me about 6 hours of music which, as you might know, is more than a cd can handle. So from there, I went over everything again, and got the list down to 3 hours 45 minutes. Then after picking my starting point, I pretty much just tried to find what flowed nicely. I didn't worry too much about spreading the bands out because I thought it would end up too A-B-C-A-B-C..., though I didn't use the same band twice in a row.
The first arrangement I came up with was 1:20:07, so I had to find some way to chop it down. In the process I ended up reworking it almost entirely. I had 2 Bungle tracks from California that pretty much had the same vibe, so I figured I could sacrifice one to make room for some more variation. Again, this changed the whole mix. I've been working on this one since right after my monster mix, if that gives you any idea of how much work this one has been.
Plus there was the issue of which albums should be included. Should I use any of Patton's work with Zorn? Or maybe his track from Handsome Boy Modeling School? Some stuff just couldn't fit, timewise and in the flow. Fantomas' Directors Cut is absent. As is FNM's The Real Thing. But I think most of the ground is pretty well covered.
I think I've rambled on long enough. On to the mix.

| 2 | Faith No More : Helpless |
|
I didn't want to wait too long to bring in the FNM because I had so many tracks to pick from. From King For A Day, I could only narrow down the list to 14 tracks. There's 14 on the album. So, I needed to start using them early in the mix. This one worked well because of the fade in to counter the previous tracks fade out.

I didn't really intend to use this song. It seemed too obvious to me, but only because it's my favorite track on the album. But it fit well, and it served to keep with the tempo from the previous tracks. Ends quietly and moves to the next track...

The guitar at the beginning of this sounds a lot like the ending of the last track. Plus it was high-time we got some Bungle on this tape. So it worked like buttah.

| 10 | Dillinger Escape Plan With Mike Patton : Pig Latin |
|
My first choice from this album was "Good Dogs..." but that track was twice as long as this one. So this guy won. This was the album that I was most unsure about adding. It's more of a Dillinger album, I guess. But it's got Patton's name on the cover, so I think it counts more than a guest spot.

| 17 | Lovage : Pit Stop (Take Me Home) |
|
There weren't really many songs to pick from this album, once you looked at it. First cut all of the little interludes, then cut all of the songs that are Patton only, then cut the Jennifer Charles only songs. Then cut out the cover song. That leaves 3 tracks to pick from. So then it was pretty much a toss up between this and Book of The Month, and this just fit better.

The last song fades out, which makes the monkey sounds fading in at the start work really well. I wanted to show the heavier side for FNM, since everything prior had pretty much been clean vocals. It was the 3rd track I used from Angel Dust, so I changed it probably 10 times. In the end though, it fit the best.

How did I come so far without using a track from my favorite FNM album? I don't know but it's a travesty. I couldn't end on Just A Man, because it's already the last track, so this one felt the most like a closer out of what was left.

I am actually kind of pissed about this mix, though (regardless of my giving it a +5). See... you aren't gonna believe this, but I was thinking of making this exact same mix today. In fact, I just got home a few seconds ago and I was gonna make this mix right now. I just decided to check MTC for any updates that might have occurred.
