DESERT SESSIONS VOL 7 & 8
REKORDS REKORDS/SOUTHERN LORD – SUNN12/RR1 – USA – 2001
Perfect STILL SEALED double 10”EP recorded at the legendary “Rancho de la Luna”, an obscure ranch located in the Joshua Tree desert, and released in November 20 on Homme's own Rekords Rekords label (with Southern Lord’s distribution). Much like its predecessors, the rules to recording are simple: there are none. While not divulging who the speed-addled cow punks were in the bunch, Josh Homme assembled a diverse troupe to jam with this time out, including fellow QOTSA member/former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan, Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider (Eleven, Chris Cornell) and members of Earthlings?, Like Hell and Masters of Reality, among others. The members all switch instruments throughout the recording, and the contributions from Samantha Maloney of Hole and Mötley Crüe fame, whom Homme met when QOTSA played shows with Hole, just might surprise some people. Among Desert Sessions, Vol. 7-8's many fine moments is an appearance from Mark Lanegan singing on Hanging tree a top-notch rock tune benefiting from Lanegan's grunge-era voice and some hypnotizing background effects. Another great smoke-out tune is The idiot's guide where Homme's whispered falsetto is particularly effective. This song wanders around like an acid casualty lost in the desert after a rave. But it's the caravan-like marching tunes that really stick out, Don't drink poison and Up in hell which feature an orchestra of Eastern-style guitars, tribal drums, and chanting lunatics for an ornate, Arabian Nights vibe. The album's humorous finale, Ending is the rock band's frenzied last song cliché taken way over the top with "thank yous," "good nights," and solos and drums that won't end.
These sessions are a wild, uninhibited orgy of magnificent, tweaked-out music.
