A great album that sounds like nothing else. Faster,funnier samples and overall a masterpeace. Its like the album Fantomas: Book 1 (page 01-30) but even more crazy and wonderful. My Silver streak Vinyl is perfect and i have been waiting for the LP mastering since 2005. And i can hear a lot of new sounds. Run and buy!!! 10/10

Awesome pressing, great sounding, unreal polygraphy include Zin calendar by Yashitomo Nara. Strongly recommended. Ipecac - great job!

Ipecac has done a great job with these releases, all 3 Fantômas albums sound great! Glad I went for the deluxe version, love the full size calendar :-)

Wonderful Album! With artwork by Yoshitomo Nara. TIP! 1000 Made.

There are a few left on Bandcamp, as they are sold out on many other sites. Scoop one up while you can

I have the Wunderkammer box set and this sounds exactly like it. Packaging is superb and the full sized calendar is really, really nice. Worth the price and then some.....especially for that hard core Mike Patton fan.

How can someone comprise in such a tiny bunch of 30... songs? Such amount of ordered information. Because even if the songs are short and the overall album is just 30 minutes of mayhem at first heard theres no real chaos in it, just the appearance of it. There's a strange order and form so self centered and self explanatory, so utterly logic.
The structure from each piece is defined by its well demarked rhythm. A rhythm that is not just solely the drum work but the riffs and the strange interludes of voice, opera, flamenco, cartoon effects, children voices, jazz, circus music, etc
Each track is a tiny story coming from a flash into a room without lights.
The album delves into many territories: mysterious, powerful, trascendental, delirious, childlike, strange, funny yet Its character it's clearly psychedelic in tone, a myriad of things happens at each second, the length and velocity is no impediment to a narrative ordeal lost in translation with the language of metal, rock, jazz and electronic effects.

Crazy as fuck. Best Fantomas work in my opinion. uncompromised but not disharmonic, the album is well structured, plays with the mind of the listener displaying a lot of technique and a very sharp mixing technique.

A soundtrack for a modern silent motion picture.

if this is limited edition, how many copies were made?
