Info

Recorded in the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days in 1996, this lineup of Praxis is a cross between their Transmutation period and Metatron phase: that is, a powertrio with DJs/turntablist tagged along. Brain, Buckethead and Laswell formed the live instrument section while DXT, Mixmaster Mike and phonopsycographDISK spinned and scratched away on their decks. It was previously released as a bonus CD-R of the Laswell issue of Polish magazine Jazz-A-Go-Go, however, this time round we see proper track-indexed, reengineered and repackaged as Warszawa.
The music, when said and done, is simply a 50-minutes of energy rush: from the opening scratch routines by MMM and Disk (a total of 20 something minutes) to the final Giant Robot Theme/Disney Medley that closed the set, Praxis managed to maintain the composure, yet, emitting an abundance amount of energy to stake up its musical claim. It has a bit of everything: Buckethead was in his top form when his licks were still dope fresh, Laswell contented to freaked out on his bass with only a few notes and a glissandos. Brain keeps his groove raw and ready to slip into any song the band was ready to segue into. DISK was the gunslinger type turntablist that was ever was and MMM was able to keeping it real from his I'm-the-fourth-Beastie-Boys egotrip.
It should be mentioned that while there was an improvisational tangent on Praxis's music, it was not at all improvised. Listen to the out of print Transmutation Live and many other bootleg live performance will see to the fact that these loosely-stringed musical ideas were refined over years of Praxis playing live. Given that, it might be of the band's credit to create a collection of musical ideas that encompasses metal, funk, hip-hop and free improvisation. However, it wasn't so much as a collage as many fans of Buckethead and Praxis alike would start playing the spot-the-riff game, which defeats the music from its original purpose (if there exists any in the first place). Perhaps it was fresh back in the mid 90s when Limp Bizkit was just an struggling unsigned band and Korn was this new hair-metal band dressed in hip-hop clothes and without hair, and nobody ever realize the possibility to fuse metal with hip-hop. However, when an average joe would know the name Fred Durst, it is of little wonder that Praxis are making a mockery out of themselves on Warszawa, at least to the uninitiated.
