Praxis — Sacrifist [1993, jazz-metal / noise-rock / dub / hiphop]

The second album by Bill Laswell's band, with an odd mix of sounds. Although most of the band's oeuvre is centered on more straightforward funk-rock, this record is rather eclectic.

Core band:
Bill Laswell: bass
Buckethead: guitar
Brain (previously of Primus and Guns N' Roses): drums

Guests:
Bernie Worrell: keyboards on ‘Crossing’
Bootsy Collins: bass and vocals on ‘Deathstar’ (both Worrell and Collins were in Parliament-Funkadelic)
Yamatsuka Eye (of Boredoms): vocals
Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn): vocals
John Zorn: saxophone
Andy Hawkins: guitar
Gabriel Katz: bass
Ted Epstein: drums (Hawkins, Katz and Epstein all from Blind Idiot God, whose albums Laswell has produced)

Have you seen his Bandcamp page? It has over two hundred releases, including his bands like Painkiller. There's also a second Bandcamp for some reason. And of course it's still far from all music in which he was involved, namely most of his production work isn't there, though some artists have individual accounts on Bandcamp.

Although I need to go through much of that stuff again one of these days and rediscover which of the records aren't just his beloved dub-ambient. My collection suffered quite a bit from a hard disk failure.
