(1996)"Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request" is the second album by
The Brian Jonestown Massacre , it was the first of three critically acclaimed albums released by the band in 1996. It was released onTangible Records , distributed byBomp! Records and contains the fan-favorites "Jesus", "Anemone", and "Feelers" among the 18 tracks. The title is a both a pun on and a tribute to the title ofThe Rolling Stones ' 1967 album, "Their Satanic Majesties Request ". This album was a large departure from the previous albumMethodrone 's heavyshoegazing style and largely laid the framework for the sixties-influenced psychedelic content that the band's proceeding albums would carry, althoughTake It From The Man! was recorded prior to but released after it.All songs on the album were written by
Anton Newcombe , except for "No Come Down" and "Miss June '75", which are byMatt Hollywood , who also sings them. Newcombe sings all other songs except "Anemone", which is sung byMara Kegal . The album was recorded in the fall of 1995 entirely atBloody Angle Studios (reportedly through some involvement withGenesis P-Orridge )Fact|date=March 2007 and makes much use of the now-obscuremellotron . It has also been stated that frontman Anton Newcombe plays almost all the instruments on the album, though Dean Taylor, Mara Kegal,Joel Gion , Matt Hollywood,Brian Glaze , and Jeff Davies are all listed in the credits. The liner notes also contain a list of instruments appearing on the album:"acoustic guitar, sitar, clavs, mellotron, tambora, echoplex-feedback-generator, electric guitar, dumbek, tablas, flute, farfisa, recorder, tape loops, drums, acoustic bass, shinni, chanter, didgeridoo, vox jaguar, French horn, viola, tuba, SMS serge, 12-string electric guitar, harmonium, tambourines, cabasa, conga, jimbe, accordion, celeste, glockenspiel, bells, fish, piano, hammond, cello, wolf horn, maracas, weird-fucking-Chinese-shit, tyco drum, vibes, woodwinds and other top secret crap."
