''Houdini'' is the fifth album by American sludge metal band Melvins, released in 1993 on Atlantic Records. The album was the band's major label debut after releasing their previous albums on the independent label Boner Records. The album features a cover of the 1974 KISS song "Goin' Blind". The songs "Hooch" and "Honey Bucket" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. "Night Goat" is a partial re-recording of a song the band had released as a single in 1992. Kurt Cobain is given co-production credit alongside the Melvins on six tracks, for guitar on the song "Sky Pup", and percussion on the song "Spread Eagle Beagle". Speaking to Kerrang! in 2008, King Buzzo remembered: In 2005, the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series and at San Miguel Primavera Sound in 2007. Another live performance of the album was released as ''A Live History of Gluttony and Lust'' in 2006. Though the album's liner notes list Lorax as the band's bassist, she does not appear to have played on the album at all. Says Osborne: "This album is mostly just me and Dale Crover. Either I played bass or he did on almost all of it regardless of what the credits say…" The song "Hooch" is rated as one of the best songs of the decade by Pitchfork Media in the book ''The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present''. The album's cover art features an illustration of a two-headed puppy by graphic designer Frank Kozik. ==Track listing== All songs written by the Melvins unless otherwise noted. Some vinyl copies include a cover of "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)", originally by the MC5, instead of "Spread Eagle Beagle". A Japanese CD release (catalog# AMCY-625) also contains "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" as the 14th track at the end of the disc, coming after "Spread Eagle Beagle". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Houdini (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
