WALL OF SOUND

You all knew the time would come when I would post the Buddha All-Stars landmark debut album, Wall of Sound, well nigh the time has arrived. Be the first on your block to own a free copy of this tour de force of human insanity. To give you a little back ground we once again speak to Scott "Tokyo" Lozon:

The Wall of Sound, were to start. Tonto Savalas were finishing up on their fifth album when the seeds of the Buddha All-Stars had started rising in my head. I wanted to go a different direction with things, get a little crazier if you know what I mean. So we started working on some material for the album while on a camping trip, we got back with the first four songs completed. Toss in a liberal amount of old tracks that were headed for the garbage and a couple of sessions in the basement, and poof theres an album lying in front of me.

Now this like all the Buddha All-Stars albums is a concept album about a character named J. The Jim in Taco Jim stands for J and the song is about a couple of kids seeing J walking the street looking like some crazed bum, which he was, the rest of the album explores how J got there. You see he was once just a young man playing music In The Garage (which turned out to be his first big hit), but then some bad drugs, bad women, and bad memories lead him down a path of self destruction. He lost his mind somewhere along the way. This is his story, from the starstruck teen idol beginnings to the crazy guy wandering the streets talking to himself end. This is crazy music, about crazy people, made by crazy people, for crazy people. Enjoy

The first half of the album is available for listening or downloading on DMusic.com. The second half will be available next weekend. And give me some dam feedback on the album. You can post in the comments your choice for the next album to go up. Thanks
