Percy Jones--Any Fans?

TheOwl	Date: July 3, 2006 @ 11:25 AM Anyone here a fan of one Percy Jones and his twisted fretless madness. Some have unfairly labeled him a Jaco clone but he sounds NOTHING like Jaco whatsoever. I've heard his playing with Brand X (saw them twice back in the day) and more recently with Tunnels. He's done a truckload of other stuff besides, mostly very experimental/left of center artists. The stuff he does with artificial harmonics has to be heard to be believed! Great 2-part interview with him on here: http://www.percyjones.net

TheOwl	Date: August 1, 2006 @ 10:15 AM I just got two of his solo discs from emusic.com, "Cape Catastrophe" and "Propeller Music", I like "Cape Catastrophe" the best of the 2. Doesn't sound ANYTHING like Brand X at all but it's 100% Percy! If I could describe it, it's sort of like Indian/Middle Eastern Industrial Techno-Funk.
