Today’s pick: One of my all-time favorite Chicago bands: The Flying Luttenbachers!!
Masterminded by drummer/composer Weasel Walter (of whom I became friends with over the years), this album (“Infection and Decline”) is the start of their “Brutal Prog” phase. 2 bass players (1 tuned high, 1 tuned low and fretless) combined with frantic death-metal inspired drumming.
I probably saw this band perform 20 times during this era. Killer cover of Magma’s “De Futura” as well (Perhaps Magma should be a future Phil’s Phiday Pick?? Hmmmmm!)
