A side band including a former member of
Marilyn Manson's group and the leader of
Masters of Reality is not a very likely combination, but that's just what
Twiggy Ramirez and
Chris Goss have done on
I Got a Brand New Egg Layin' Machine. The quirky ten-track EP recalls at times the days of
Frank Zappa and
David Bowie, when artists weren't confined to a single style, and were free to experiment and create new sounds. As a result,
Egg Layin' Machine is a completely unpredictable affair, as it features everything from
Mike Patton/
Fantômas-like
noise (
"The Smoking Man Returns") to free-form experiments (the title track), the sonic equivalent of an acid trip (
"Rock Weird"), and at least one or two tight
rock arrangements (
"Mud Puppies" and
"Mashed"). With
rock music becoming more and more predictable as strict radio/
MTV play lists attempt to strangle the life out of
rock music, it's always refreshing to come across a recording that defies categorization, such as
I Got a Brand New Egg Layin' Machine.
