Robbie Seahag - lead guitar on "The Man vs. NYC"

Recording this track was the first time I've ever really hung out with Matty or Mikey, but Pakalolo was old school and was living with me at the time. The guitar I used on this track was my beloved, "broken, stolen kramer" played straight through a marshall head, direct to the board with a wah pedal in between. Thus began all my participation with the rays thereafter on stage and in sessions.

This cd is available a lot of places but can easily be ordered from the record company via projectobject.com.

Daniel Carter - sax, flute
Armond Tanzarian - sax, keys, vocals

This album was recorded in November/December of 1999. We were very much drugged up on chocolate buzz during the making of this album. Yes, Chocolate candies. Some of the results of all the work put into this album I can not believe. All instrumental and 6 songs. Basically this band is me, Geoff, and George. The rest are valued guests who did a lot of cool shit. George Mack fronted the cash for the recording and rehearsing and it was his idea to get us all together to do this. We only did 3 rehearsals and i can't believe how cool everything came out. This album is currently not in print. The band resides in Austin (mack), Los Angeles (haba) , and NYC (mangano). Isn't that funny? Another album will be made by the way. A sophomore attempt that's bound to be different. Lorax also designed the cd artwork and took the photos and it's a rad looking evil cover that looks great on t-shirts.

songs include:
Motion / Black & Blue / Sampsons Wig / 357 / Vesuvius / Equinox

Tattoo E.P. (varg records)
1996

Dave Freifelder - drums/percussion
George Prekel - bass
Robert Mangano - guitar/vocal
Adriano Farinella - lead guitar
Carl Restivo - lead vocal

This E.P. was recorded live at a soundstage at Levelhead Studios on June 18th, 1996. This E.P. was very strong in rocking the house and was our second album (first being "what is what" from 1995 not pictured). I pretty much played rhythm guitar. It sounds pretty hightech and no mixing was done. Just mastering and editing. It was recorded straight to DAT also. I'd say that the best thing about this album is the cover though. All members of the band are on this cover. This was Laura Eggplant's (aka the Lorax) first cd cover. She did such a good job on it. We were never at this Krishna party. But yeah that's me in the front center. Hold your mouse over the cd to see where our heads are placed on other bodies. Whether this album is available anymore I can't say. Restivo pretty much holds all recordings and records of this band.

songs include:
Tattoo / Peanut Butter and Jelly / Drink No Water / Stripped Down, Looking Forward / I Eat Meat / Too Many Yo-Yo's

1996

Adriano Farinella - guitar
David Freifelder - drums and percussion
Robert Mangano - guitar, vocals, bass, keyboard
George Prekel - bass
Carl Restivo - vocals, guitar, keyboard, bass, drums.

from the liner notes by Carl Restivo.
"These songs are a gift for all of our fans who come to the concerts all the time, and for the fans who want to go but can't for assorted reasons (age, cash, etc...). These tunes are, for the most part, about 1/3rd of all our new ideas, happenin' improvs, completed songs, & not so completed songs."

This is probably the most interesting IZ album that we released to the public. Its got a lot of songs in their rarest form and many first time takes at songs, Live cover songs etc. This was for people to make copies of and took up 45 minutes of a 90 minute tape. The cover is done by Jimb Tudesco before WRONG was even a thing. Of course this album is available and the whole thing should be mp3'd. It's designed to be free.

songs include:
PB&J/I eat meat/ Gray's Papaya/Wanna Be Startin' Somethin/ I got a rash from the ocean/give me money/ Kent/ Talk dirty to me / Do it again, Return of Zababo / Camel Filters / You're the One that I Want / A message to you... dear jennifer / Drink No Water / Robbie Takes a Piss / That's the way I live my Balls.

apologies..

What Is What
1995

Carl Restivo - guitar, vocals
Robert Mangano - guitar, recorder
Adriano Farinella - guitar
George Prekel - bass
Dave Friefelder - drums

This CD was recorded in Wayne, NJ. At the time I was living with Restivo in NYC and going to college. I wasn't in the band yet, but I started to guest vocal with the band on a frank zappa cover (Stick it Out) and played recorder on a song called Moon Man about some nj folklore killer man we used to venture out to see. Restivo asked me to play all his guitar parts on the album so we could record faster, and he could just worry about singing. After this was all done, I was playing all the gigs with the band and started writing songs. This also marks the first time I started playing live as a guitar player (not a bassist)...I did no leads on this album, except for a bluesy bonus track ditty at the end of the cd.

Tattoo/ Crazy in Lust / Perfect / Too Many Yo-Yo's / The Hipnotic Balanese Monkey Dance / Days of Unreasonable Length / Moonman / Punky Rooster / Drink No Water / Dignity / Jade / ....that was nice

ARCTIC DREAMS
Deny the Confusion
1993

Keith Pied (master knobber) - synths
Don Regan (bombardier) - guitar
Robert Mangano (retainer head) - bass
Scott Nicastro (King Swean) - drums

This CD was recorded in 2 days at the House of Music in West Orange, NJ. I have no idea if there are any copies left. This is the only one I have. I'm not too happy with the sound of this disc though. It doesn't represent what we sounded like straight through speakers and amps, we were the loudest band I have ever been in. In other words, I think the cd sounds too clean and studio. My bass is barely there due to some accidental phase cancellation that went on with the microphones. But this was my first time being on a record. An all instrumental fusion album back when I was still only playing bass. I didn't write any of the music except for a few basslines and when i was improving. That's me in the very front center as a wierdo. In the inside cover, there's a picture of me being swatted like a fly by a "Texas Fly Swatter" which is a novelty giant fly swatter.

songs include:
Root Canal / On the Edge / River Rat / Mind Games / Into the Fire / Prelude / Arctic Dreams / Frank's Boogie / Street Dreams / Child's Play / Jamaican Deal.
