Yeah, I love the way that on Mr Bungle records a bit of Nu Metal will suddenly appear for 2 seconds right next to a bit of kletzmer on one side of it and a bit of Beach Boys vocal harmonizing on the other side, but with the whole still sounding accessible and not self-indulgent. I've got enormous respect for the guy. Oh, and everything I've picked up that's been released on his own label had been brilliant too.
