Disco Volante is the best Patton album made so far and one of the best albums ever! First time I heard this album (it was maybe summer 1996, a friend had bought it from London) I was totally confused. I really hadn't heard anything like this and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. There was couple of songs I liked immediately (Chemical Marriage, Desert Search For Techno Allah) but the music was so odd I couldn't understand it. Something there was, 'cause it made me borrow the album and forced me to listen to it over and over again. Then I bought the album and Mr. Bungle's debut from record store, and since the band has been one of my all time favorites. Later I found the music of John Zorn, but that's whole different story...
