Sound Virus is actually a 'reconstruction' that sees Bill Laswell returning to the mid-'90s albums Metatron and Sacrifist, focusing on the core trio of Laswell, Buckethead, and Brain with some assistance from Yamatsuka Eye, John Zorn, and Mick Harris. The P-Funk contingent of Praxis is absent, as are the turntablists who have performed with them over the years, so you don't get those elements of the Praxis sound, but you do get a nice sampling of the rest. A heavy metal chug, scorching blastbeats, some dub/reggae, and a bit of Band of Gypsys-style jamming are laced with traces of Laswell ambience. The tracks have all been modified in some way. Some are edited, some are extended, and some have been mashed together. Certainly all of them benefit from a fresh remastering some 20-plus years later.
