Album Notes
Fantomas: Mike Patton (vocals); Buzz (guitar); Trevor Dunn (bass guitar); Dave Lombardo (percussion).
Recording information: Sound Factory, Hollywood, California.
Despite their complexity, cartoon soundtracks have largely been regarded as the redheaded stepchildren of the music world. For culturally disinterested youths, however, Elmer Fudd's performance in the Bugs Bunny classic "What's Opera, Doc?" offered a priceless introduction to classical music.
Just as Chuck Jones's 1957 animated short paid homage to Wagnerian opera, Fantomas's SUSPENDED ANIMATION pays thrash-metal tribute to cartoon music. In marked contrast to its haunting 2004 single-track opus, DELIRIUM CORDIA, the band's follow-up borrows the onomatopoeic nature and intricate arrangement of the cartoon score, and sets it within the unlikely context of grinding metal and atmospheric jazz. The music here is organized chaos, exemplified by frenetic bass-and-drums freakouts ("04/12/05 Tuesday") and Mike Patton's spastic, gurgling vocal manipulations ("04/26/05 Tuesday"). Guitarist Buzz Osborne (Melvins), bassist Trevor Dunn, and drummer Dave Lombardo (Slayer) perform the fantastically difficult orchestration, heroically leaping from grindcore riffs into melodic preludes with flawless precision. The result is a surprisingly seamless score split up into 30 tracks, perfectly balanced between lighthearted fun and gnashing noise.

Editorial Reviews
SUSPENDED ANIMATION will leave all but the most insatiable of shock freaks completely glazed over.
The Wire

3 stars out of 5 - [T]hirty miniatures of spaghetti-western spasm and speed-of-light viscera. The Road Runner couldn't outrace this stuff.

    Fantomas - Suspended Animation - 2005 - limited edition calender
    30 Tracks - 43:51 minutes

    This is what I would consider a super-group, Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and King Buzzo (The Melvins). All players are represented well here. Being a huge Bungle and Melvins fan, I was totally elated to find them together in this group.
    This CD is all over the place and not easily placed in a category. If I was to try and peg them, I would say Looney Toons on PCP. Or, Mr. Bungle's crazy cloned DNA. Definitely not for the average listener or the typical Faith No More fan. I feel that this is their best disc to date (out of 4) and a great place to start for the beginner. Better yet, buy Mr. Bungles first album as your primer and a good pair of headphones. The limited edition came as a calender for the month of April in 2005. Each song is dedicated to a day in that month - what a concept.
