HI, Today I saw a pirate Cd that includes two Mr. Bungle demos, "goddammit I love America" and "the ragingwrath of the easter bunny". Since the Cd was really expensive, I'd like to know if they sounded good originally, the level of quality of the songs and all in all if it's worth the money- specially considering that I'm a huge fan of these guys. Maybe it's just for completists. Please let me know. Thanks in advance. Best, Efrén del Valle _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sound quality is not fantastic but it's bearable anyway. "Raging Wrath..." is the first one and is pretty much all metal (with funny little twists). It's doesn't really demonstrate what was to come, but there are some amazing moments, like "Bungle Grind" or the softer "Grizzly Adams". "Goddammit..." on the other hand is really good - it's the third demo, and they are just coming out of their Fishbone/funk/ska phase. There's a nice version of "Egg" plus a few other songs which people have argued should have made it onto the first album, like "Bloody Mary", "Definition Of Shapes" and "Waltz For Grandma's Sake"... Incidentally I believe most or all of the demos are available for download at various Mr Bungle sites...

ftp.bunglefever.com (pub\Mr. Bungle) should have all the demos you seek. There are also tons of live recordings available, too. This site also has quite a few other bungle related bootlegs (Secret Chiefs, Fantomas, etc). They used to have recordings of NC with Patton on vocals. I miss those (the evils of reformatting your hard drive). I never liked the said demos all that much. They are far less sophisticated than the first album and I like that one the least. DV and California are far superior albums, IMHO. Regardless, the demos don't sound all that bad from a strict sound quality POV.
