about

Mastica - Chios Gum Mastic- Mastic gum is a resinous extract from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, indigenous to the Mediterranean islands. The mastic tree thrives especially well in the southern part of the island of Chios, due to the mild climate and characteristics of the soil. Mastic trees found elsewhere, even in other parts of Chios, do not produce mastic gum. The plant itself is known for its lemony balsam-like smell, which can permeate the air of the 'Mastichochoria', the villages on Chios that produce mastic gum. Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians used mastic gum, imported from Chios, in the incense they burned as a tonic for exhaustion and to restore mental clarity. .. .

credits

from MasticA 99, released November 11, 1999
bassist, vocalist and cello player Gum B. (who's previously worked with Poi Dog Pondering, Alejandro Escovedo and "the original god of hellfire" Arthur Brown), guitarist, clarinetist, vocalist and sax player Munkey, along with percussionist Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, Mr. Mister, Michael Penn and David Sylvian). Miles from the mainstream, the music on their debut album "99" (actually released in 2000) proves to be a quirky, avant garde rock cocktail that becomes an intoxicating, mind-altering experience.
From the tranquilized "4 a.m.," to the infectious number "Queen," complete with Mastelotto's pounding tribal percussions and Munkey's oddly welcome clarinet, Gum B delivers his cool, sensual vocals in a style that falls somewhere between Bryan Ferry and David Sylvian.
