Would just like to recommend this album to you guys. Very weird but I love it.
Fantomas are more wel known for their short sharp bursts of sonic terror ala Naked City but this is completely different. (If you like that sort of thing)

This is without doubt my favourite Fantomas album, the others are great but this is phenominal. Would have loved to see them do it at ATP before Christmas. I particularly like the metal version of The Godfather theme and the awesome reworking of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (the original is very quiet and Patton is singing the saxophone line). +1 recommendation to the max.

Yeah those tracks are from The Director's Cut, another excellent album BTW.

Whoops! I misread the thread title, I thought you were discussing The Director's Cut.

Nevermind, Delerium Cordia is good too but probably my least favourite of the four main albums.

I always thought that until recently when I played it through on a dark night in bed - there is a lot going on that I had missed when i was playing it in the kitchen washing the dishes!
Suspended Animation is great too.

Yeah it's good, I'd probably rank it a close second being The Director's Cut

I adore Suspended Animation and Director's Cut is great, but I just find it hard to listen all the way through Delirium Cordia. I did do it a couple times and it's good, but I need a few more spins.

Delirium Cordia is a fine piece of work indeed. Its getting the time whilst avoiding distractions to listen to it I find most difficult!

Would loved to have seen Fantomas-Melvins play 'The Director's Cut' in full last December at ATP.

Anyone buy the 2008 Melvins-Fantomas Big Band DVD Live from London in 2006?

There is no music from Delirium Cordia on the set of course, but songs from all the other albums get a blast, as do a couple of Melvin's specials (Hooch & Night Goat)...really worth a purchase if your a fan of either band...

I have the Big Band CD that came out years ago and I like that despite the crappy recording quality, been meaning to get the DVD. It's meant to be a lot, lot better.

Yea I have Millenium Monsterwork too John, and as much as I love the songs on it, the sound quality is crap!

You won't regret purchasing the new DVD...

Cool. Must pick it up so!
