Jacek Szubrych (Wyborcza.pl):
"Mike Patton, amerykański wokalista co z niejednego pieca chleb jadł, i Jean-Claude Vannier, współpracownik Serge'a Gainsbourga, musieli świetnie się bawić, nagrywając album "Corpse Flower". Na szczęście słuchaczowi udziela się ten nastrój. (...)
Pielęgnowali i podlewali „Corpse Flower” z zaangażowaniem i miłością, dzięki czemu zakwitł w jeden z najlepszych materiałów, pod jakim Mike może się podpisać w tym stuleciu.
Warto przy tym powiedzieć, że amerykański wokalista nie skorzystał z okazji i nie próbował dzięki Vannierowi poudawać Gainsbourga. Harcują na ziemi niczyjej, spotykają się w pół drogi (...)


Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane) and renowned French composer Jean-Claude Vannier, who is perhaps best known for his work with Serge Gainsbourg, release Corpse Flower on September 13th, 2019.

“Jean-Claude and I met while working together on a Gainsbourg retrospective at the Hollywood Bowl in 2011,” explains Patton. “We bonded immediately. I could see he had a dedication and attention to detail that was relentless so the respect I had for him in my mind was magnified in person. We spoke loosely about working together in the future… and it took some time, but after a few years I contacted him and we began to ignite some sparks.”

“I would send Mike rough versions of the songs to get his thoughts, then I’d wait impatiently, staring at the clock, until I received his response,” offers Vannier about the process the duo used to create Corpse Flower. “He made my music awaken with his unique perspective and interpretations of my songs. A formidable vocalist, with a sense of humor, Mike and I created a strong, beautiful and sincere collection of music, as well as a friendship.”.......
