What can I say about this CD...this dude...this madness?? I dunno, I grew up with this dude and I am still shocked at some of the shit that he spats out at will. And I am talking about a "regular" phone call with him. Put a mic and editing software in front of him and you can forget keeping a straight face. He is like a one man Mr. Show. If you don't know Mr. Show was a great skit comedy, like SNL but R rated. When we got out of high School, he got a job DJing at the local Rock station (Rock107 R.I.P.) He was the Friday overnighter and had a show Called "2 Hours to Kill". Dude already had heavy tastes but this Metal show opened his ears to some extreme and obscure shit, to say the least. In the back room of the Station there was a little studio to produce comercials and intro's in. It was complete with some sort of noise procesor to change your voice into "Car Comercial Man". He learned to utilize the editing software and the procesor for more than intro making. He would use his voice and objects struck together and alter them/edit them in a way that resembled songs. Its crazy some of the shit he could come up with this way. This man would come home at like 5 a.m. and say "Hey man I got another tape you wanna wake and bake and hear this new shit?" Well if you know me,I cant pass up a buzz. He would put in these crappy cassette tapes that had ZEKA DAVE written on them and I would listen to this otherworldly madness...this noise that came from the space between space, utterly....hmmm...amazed. He eventually put those tapes together for the first CD "Pronounced- zee-kuh-dah-vey" ((Correct me if I am wrong)) shit was so good it spawned a second CD "Pronounced eet-kuh-rap" and a live recording, no procesing or editing including a few of us who lived with him. Aptly titled "Zeka Dave and Friends".
The madman himself...The Indy Noise God, Mel Duncan is:
ZEKA DAVE " Pronounced eet-kuh-rap"
*Best enjoyed with a spliff of mid's at 5 a.m.
I Didn't Spit in This.
