Praxis

Musical project Praxis was formed in 1992 by prolific producer Bill Laswell and currently comprises Bill Laswell, Buckethead, Bryan "Brain" Mantia and Bernie Worrell. In 1992, Praxis released their debut album, Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis), which you may download in mp3 from our site. Transmutation features a wide range of musical styles, all mixed together to make a very diverse and unique album. Styles such as heavy metal, funk, hip hop, ambient, jazz and blues are blended together to form a strange style of avant-garde, with extended guitar and keyboard solos, and highly improvised passages. The album was well received by critics and spawned the group's only single, the Bootsy Collins sung "Animal Behavior". The single includes three different versions of the title track written by Collins, Laswell and Buckethead, an edited album version from Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis), a short radio edit and a third version that was used for the music video.
