SNAKE IS BACK! More awesome action absurdity from Kurt Russell and John Carpenter. How can you go wrong?

Brian Case is a busy man. Somehow in the last year or so he's found time to start a new new band called FACS (which features 3/4 of DISAPPEARS, who are on indefinite hiatus), started a label called MILDVILNC & released a 12" on it by his project ACTEURS & then this 2nd solo album "Spirit Design", all while finding time to be a dad. The music is similar to "Tense Nature" with sparse beats, almost atonal synths & modular synth noise but he's added vocals to this one so there's more of a bridge to FACS & DISAPPEARS this time. Expertly crafted post-industrial from this Chicago vet. RECOMMENDED!

Having Dave Grohl or the DIRTY THREE contribute to your album is cool & all but not as cool as having someone like Mahon "Teenie" Hodges or Steve Potts backing you up. C'mon these guys are PROS. They have played with AL GREEN, BOOKER T. & THE MGS & NEIL YOUNG. So, does having a band like this make a good album? I don't think it really matters, Marshall's songs are good enough no matter how they're played. This is a more 'adult' record & I think it will probably command a more mainstream audience. Chan's voice sounds as good as ever too. Maybe in the future, "The Greatest" will be referred to as her Norah Jones phase. We'll see.... 20th anniversary edition with original artwork O N G O L D V I N Y L
