Warszawa is a live album by
experimental rock band
Praxis, released in 1999 by the label Innerhythmic.
The album contains three of the supergroup's most influential members: bassist and producer
Bill Laswell, guitarist
Buckethead, and drummer
Brain. This album was recorded during a live show in
Warsaw,
Poland and has some resemblance to the band's earlier funk-influenced material, containing elements of 1992's Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) and the loud heavy metal and noise rock elements reminiscent of 1994's Sacrifist. Besides Laswell, Buckethead and Brain, the album also contains contributions from turntablists
Mix Master Mike and
PhonosycographDISK.
The album opens with "Initiation", a 20-minute turntable epic that mixes albums like
Snoop'sMurder Was the Case with
kung-fu movie samples.
