Profanation
Praxis is one of those super-groups with an evolving cast of heavily decorated recording artists. The kind that manages to continually defy genre boundaries with extreme prejudice. Praxis had a fairly significant influence on me (mostly because of Transmutation, Sacrifist and their contributing artists), which is why I'm typing this post right now...
I'm listening to Praxis' new album, Profanation, currently available as a Japanese import (or a .zip file here). It's Bill Laswell with the likes of Bernie Worrell, Mike Patton, Iggy Pop, Serj Tankian, Brain, Rammellzee, Otomo Yoshihide, Killah Priest, and of course Buckethead. It's interesting to hear what happens when musicians from such varied backgrounds hook up with a prolific guy like Laswell. Interesting to me, anyway. Take a listen and decide for yourself.

Wow! This hadn't even come near my radar. I'll have to check it out.
While you're on the Pylfork tip, what d'ya think of Ghosts I-IV? It's not bad, but it's hardly mind-blowing.
Pylfork. Nice. Maybe I should make that a tag...
Haven't gotten through much of Ghosts I-IV yet, but what I've heard hasn't been too bad. You're right, though... nothing about the music is very groundbreaking.
