Mazer Razor

recently i've been on a feverish run of sons of ja'rel enthusiasm, trying to track down and listen to all the albums and such.. it's quite an undertaking, but i think they've all been located. it looks like thirteen (!) albums in all, from 'Penpricker' in 2001 to 'The Mythmagic Special' in 2006.. pretty crazy.

Mazer Razor is possibly my favorite sons of ja'rel song of all time.. but that's kinda hard to say. g. tony has an iconic bass line on this song, which isn't represented on this original version, sadly, but i can hear it clearly...

it's on the album X=Object, that started out as a concept album about a comet that flies too close to Earth and animates the mundane objects.. like chairs, for example. it was recorded on 4 track, for some reason, at the 65th and Foster house.. i'm sure G. Tony was involved somehow.. he's definately a part of Backdoor to Heaven. . ha!
