Last year, in response to an episode of Sounding Bored, I named Faith No More's version of The Commodores' 'Easy' in a selection of ten remarkable covers, arguing that anyone who views them "merely as the godfathers of nu-metal does them a gross disservice". The fact that Mike Patton is about to release a collaborative record with Jean-Claude Vannier, the septuagenarian French musician and producer of Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire De Melody Nelson, just proves my point.
The Quietus are among those who have shared the first taster of the album. Let's just say that the chorus of 'On Top Of The World' alone is enough to suggest that Corpse Flower will sit nicely with Patton's other work and the rest of the Ipecac roster...
