From an interviewer's standpoint, Spruance is an ideal subject: he's funny, he's articulate, and while not a loudmouth, he doesn't mince words either.
What's interesting (and refreshing) about Spruance is that he is equally likely to lambaste the avant-garde establishment – including his old friend Zorn, which is kind of like committing career suicide right there – as he is to vent about the big-label music industry.
What's funny about this quote is that Turkington and Spruance – whose collaborations since they met back in 1991 make up another, less-celebrated and almost-never-talked-about portion of the guitarist's oeuvre – are not especially known for displaying "dedicated craftsmanship" in their collaborations.

Fool For A Lifetime, and is known by Bungle obsessives as Osama Bin Spruance, due to his ongoing interest in all things Middle Eastern) which, set against Patton's earthy cynicism, leant their 1995 opus Disco Volante its volatile, dramatic, exploratory edge.
In accordance with his usual flair for overcomplicating things (this is a compliment by the way), Spruance assigns different musical tasks to seven separate imaginary "bands" (Forms, Ishraqiyun, Traditionalists, The Electromagnetic Azoth, Holy Vehm, Ur, and one named only by a star-shaped symbol).
But pointless quibbles aside, Book of Horizons is still one hell of an outside-the-box journey into sights and sounds from far and deep into the imagination and a fascinating antidote to the often stultifying dearth of vision and ambition in so much rock music today.

Trey, more reverential as he ages, generally lets the music stay within its own loose conventions.
Spruance obviously makes sure to take swimming lessons in each style before dipping his compositional bucket into the well.
Though most of the music has an Indian or Middle Eastern vibe to it, there is a very noticeable contrast between the styles of every few tracks, changing from jazz to surf to techno to grandiose orchestral arrangements to chaotic grindcore that rivals some of the heaviest stuff around.

The two Holy Vehm songs are heavier than anything Spruance has ever released, while the more linear, melodic numbers (Traditionalists' Morricone-esque "The Exile," the Forms ' "The End Times," UR's surf-tinged cover of the Exodus theme) rank as his most lavishly orchestrated productions.
Remarkably, given the huge orchestrations on so many of the tracks, there are only two samples on the entire record; all of the string sections, choirs, and such were the result of marathon overdub sessions à la Mr.
Minor quibbles aside, this is a frequently jaw-dropping album that should silence Spruance's anti-Bungle critics and, more importantly, challenge and entertain devoted fans of his past work.
