The Meteors
The Mental Instrumentals II:
When Guitars Attack
(Mutant Rock)
These tracks hail from various Meteors configurations, as well as P. Paul's solo endeavors. Gnashed psychobilly, Party Beach meditations, and Mexican melodies are all fed into a uniquely sinister device.
An army of ink-barrels have, over decades, been expended portraying his choreographed grotesqueries. And to be sure, his onstage criminally lunatic persona and bug-eyed, howling-mad antics are of striking rank.
But beneath the gleefully morbid exterior, we find a consummate professional. P. Paul richly merits respect for his compositional and six-string abilities.
His knack for crafting multi-faceted arrangements that span frenetic dash and ominous quietude, while making much of whatever instrumentation is appropriate, sits him in high company, indeed.
Meanwhile, he tears from his guitar calamitous storms, headlong rocketing, and cannily reined understatements. Studied, complex voicings rival the brutish mayhem. There's ample space for both in P. Paul's presentation, and each exacts its peculiar purpose.
