SNAKEFINGER "GREENER POSTURES" RALPH, 1980 Catchy, bizarre, overly-effected, abstract, complex, colorful, intelligent.. a masterpiece of catchy songwriting and weird melodies. Like Helios Creed meets the Residents (which should come as no surprise since the Residents guest on a couple of songs). All of his albums are good but this one totally stnads out as a "classic". |

I'd be shocked if you didn't like it.
It's like the residents doing 70's prog with helios creed and king crimson doodling around in the background. |

Citronella by Aesop Rock is based on a sample of Snakefinger's version of Smelly Tongues.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQnYW...eature=related I'll have to check that album out, I only have Chewing Hides the Sound and a few other bits & pieces. Thanks for the recommendation. |

No problem, I personally love all of his albums, and I love his weird guitar tone... how does he get that sound? It has to be a pitchshifter right?

I like Manual of Errors better; granted, however, that I discovered his solo work because of this thread and aquired two of his albums (the aforementioned and Greener Postures).
