The Anaesthetic Revelation of Ray Bong
Independent
The Bongoloids aren’t your average stoner rock band. They create a unique twist on the genre by adding psychedelic jazz, electronica, bluegrass, and funk elements to their music. Their new album, The Anaesthetic Revelation of Ray Bong, is full of enough buzzes and beeps to keep most stoners interested, while those sober might have a harder time wrapping their head around it. Instead of heavy, down-tuned guitars, the Bongoloids’ version of stoner rock relies on Ray Bong’s vast array of synthesizers and modified instruments/toys. The album opens with “It Doesn’t Matter What You Do,” one of the few tracks with vocals. It visits almost every genre as techno drums give way to classic rock organs followed by techno squalls.
Most of the tracks are in the same vein, until “I Know That You Love New Orleans.” The track uses excerpts of Ray Bong’s appearance as a caller on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. He corrected Limbaugh, who was asserting that things were getting back to normal in November, 2005, and here he samples the conservative commentator’s voice. If you found his voice annoying on the radio, it doesn’t help to put it against some low-fi techno either. The album’s final three tracks are the real standouts. Here the drums and instruments sound more natural and live. “Nitrous Cloud,” features a killer space jam that recalls some of Sonic Youth’s noisier moments over steady jazz beats. While the album is a bit scattershot, it might prove entertaining for those who, like Bong himself, want to expand their mind.
Straight out of the weed wigwams of the Congo, this album is definitely not for the tender-hearted lovers of elevator harmony. Forged in the early 80's, The Awful Art of the Bongoloids is awfully ahead of its time in that it crosses cultures effortlessly in its search for a fresh, inimitable sound. Tribal percussions are deftly intertwined with electronically twisted guitars from outer space that draw nebulae of peculiar ambiences and slow-paced tunes that are never quite ordinary or complete. Meanwhile, a score of percussion and synthesizer surprises slap the ear and vanish into the distance. There is a pattern to the Bongoloid madness, however, and the more attentive listener would come to enjoy the heavy pounding theme that usually builds up in a song. This is not music one can listen to while assembling a miniature ship inside a glass bottle. It requires listening from within, or else you can probably do without.
If we were to follow the old formula, The Awful Art of the Bongoloids would have to be described as the Zulu clashing with Space Invaders. Buy this album if you want to know who won.

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Matthew 24
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4"Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?" 5Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many. 7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains..... 28"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. 30I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
