ALBUMS
THE RAGING WRATH OF THE EASTER BUNNY

Daniel Hegder <danielhegder@hotmail.com> (02.02.2004)

Knowing your time is limited, I will be brief - for the time being. Regarding your Mr Bungle page (http://starling.rinet.ru/music/mrbungle.htm) which I'm sure you plan to update when your time permits it, I have to confess I think you are incorrect and unfair in asserting that ''(Mr Bungle) was not Mr Bungle's debut at all, at least, not according to what a "debut" is often considered to be in this here indie world of ours. That was Mr Bungle's major label debut.'' While it is no secret that Mr Bungle's 1991 Warner debut wasn't their first release, the releases you have reviewed were nothing more than demo tapes. They were never released on vinyl, let alone CD, and were never intended for dissemination or serious attention. If you want to be pedantic about their actual debut 'album', I would suggest starting at OU181 which, while not regarded as an album, is more of a debut than the obvious jokey early demo tapes you have erroneously reviewed as their serious contributions to music. It should also be remembered that the band were mere teenagers when these tapes were made and by your own admission these tapes were not released on ANY real label, let alone a major one. So, if Mr Bungle was their MAJOR label debut, what was their not-Major label debut, if as you have said, Raging Wrath was on a label that you ''strongly suspect they invented it themselves''? It makes me wonder where, had you a Pantera section on your site, you would begin their lineage from.
