Album Description
Available in:
Disco Volante (es. for Flying Saucer) is the second studio album by American experimental rock band Mr. Bungle. It was released on October 10, 1995, through Warner Bros, and is considered to be the most experimental of all their albums, mixing elements from such varied styles as death metal, jazz, Arabic music, musique concrète, easy listening and even tango.
The album's title refers to the name of the yacht of the same name featured in the James Bond film Thunderball, literally meaning "Flying Saucer" in Italian. Mr. Bungle had previously done a cover version of the film's theme song. This was featured on the demo Warner Bros. Mr Bungle Demo Rough Mixes.
Disco Volante is considered to be the most experimental of all their albums. Categorized primarily as experimental rock, avant-garde metal, jazz fusion, and, more broadly, experimental, many of the songs heavily include references of different genres, a staple for Mr. Bungle, including sludge metal and industrial ("Everyone I Went to High School With Is Dead"), death metal ("Carry Stress in the Jaw", "Merry Go Bye Bye"), Arabic music ("Desert Search for Techno Allah"), musique concrète and tango ("Violenza Domestica"), jazz fusion ("Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz", "Platypus"), noise ("The Bends"), and easy listening (″Backstrokin'″).
Although much of the song's lyrics are limited ("Carry Stress in the Jaw", "Phlegmatics"), are in another language ("Desert Search for Techno Allah", "Violenza Domestica"), or are just gibberish ("Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz"), lyrical content in Disco Volante is, like in their eponymous debut album, both dark and comedic. Lyrical themes include disconnection and isolation ("Everyone I Went to High School With Is Dead"), "actual teeth-pulling anxiety nightmares" and bruxism ("Carry Stress in the Jaw"), domestic violence ("Violenza Domestica"), the "gradual decline of the human body due to social interactions", as bassist Trevor Dunn elaborates ("Phlegmatics"), masturbation ("Backstrokin'"), and martyrdom ("Merry Go Bye Bye"). "The Bends" is a ten minute, almost entirely instrumental experimental track split into ten different sections, detailing a negligent diver who experiences the bends, as hinted by each sections title, with the only lyrics being "You've got the bends. The bends."
"Carry Stress in the Jaw" and "Phlegmatics" are parts II and III of the "Sleep" trilogy, with part I being on the band's eponymous debut album.
Both "Carry Stress in the Jaw" and "Merry Go Bye Bye" feature hidden tracks, "Spy" and the untitled hidden track, most known as "Nothing" respectively. On vinyl pressings, the album is double grooved, with "Spy" being placed on the second groove, which is notoriously difficult to accurately locate. On CD pressings, "Spy" is put immediately after "Carry Stress in the Jaw" on the same track. "Spy" was originally recorded without bassist Dunn's input or knowledge; although, shortly before its release, Dunn managed to find it and added a vocal track. Though never explicitly stated, it is believed (by Dunn) that the drums were played by McKinnon, and the bass guitar by Patton. The untitled hidden track after "Merry Go Bye Bye", featuring improv made by the band, begins at 7:21, after a full minute of silence.
