Take Me To Your Leader (Album) by King Geedorah

Artist Biography For King Geedorah

King Geedorah Was An MF DOOM Side Project. A Concept Album Drawing On Samples From Sources As Obvious As Godzilla Movies Specifically "Kaijū Daisensō " Titled "Invasion Of Astro-Monster" For English Release To Those As Obscure As The Closing Theme From The Original Gatchaman Anime. Other Notable Samples Include One From Just-Ice's Song "This Girl Is A Slut" Which Appears In The Song "The Fine Print" And The Original Dark Shadows Theme Song Which Appears In Two Tracks To Say Nothing Of An Inspired Use Of A Hall & Oates Song Opening "Take Me To Your Leader" Offers A Diverse And Yet Strikingly Coherent Pastiche Of Cultural Artifacts. Of Course DOOM Himself Raps But Very Little On This Disc But The "rap-By-Committee" Approach Works So Well That You'll Hardly Notice The Variety Of Styles Flows And Voices.
