Buzzard – Exercises & Transmutations of the Applicable Techniques for the Chrome-Plated Mystical Squeegie of Destiny (1998)
OK, this Buzzard album is even more rare and obscure than Churp!!! I have heard many of these songs live at shows and at their practices and hearing the studio versions for the first time today is absolutely making my brain hurt. Patrick Walsh & Co. deliver another fine prog-metal-jazz-science fiction teenage crap album that really should get a proper release on CD and not just around the blogosphere.
The songs on here are all very short but transition into each other a lot like they did on Churp!!! It’s an album that certainly needs to be heard from beginning to end. I hear some things on hear that I didn’t really hear on the previous album…Goblin! You know Goblin, right? Italian prog rock band whose music was used for a ton of classic Italian horror flicks? Maybe it’s just me, but I can hear some of that in there.
If you’re into odd timed, whacked out, progressive jazz, fusion, metal etc, then this album may even appeal to you more than Churp!!! does.

Very cool. I downloaded it and I am listening to it now. By the way, Goblin also did the music for the George A. Romero classic zombie movie entitled Dawn of the Dead (1977).
