Hazmat Modine tap into the deepest veins of raw, unpolluted prewar blues and ancient jazz, then whip them up in a blender, tossing in strains of Caribbean calypso and ska, Eastern European klezmer and Balkan brass, Middle Eastern mystery, and more than a few unidentifiable elements that just somehow fit. The result is music that sounds at once ageless and primeval, authentically indigenous and inexplicably otherworldly, familiar and unlike anything else. Hazmat Modine revolve around the vision of Wade Schuman, a virtuoso on the diatonic and chromatic harmonicas and a variety of guitars who then mixes and matches his machines to a variety of other instruments till he arrives at that place his head has been visiting. Those instruments include the commonplace (drums, trumpets), the unexpected (Hawaiian steel guitar, lots of tubas), and those you're just not going to find down at the local music shop (cimbalom, zamponia, claviola). With that arsenal and sympathetic players at hand, Schuman invents. Sometimes, as in "Lost Fox Train," he's on his own, unreeling a thrilling solo harmonica piece that nudges the instrument out past the town limits. Alone again on "Ugly Rug," it's just Schuman and his lute guitar. For "It Calls Me" (on which Schuman's usually rough-hewn vocals slide up the scale and recall the late Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat), "Everybody Loves You," and "Man Trouble," he brings in the legendary Tuvan throat singers Huun-Huur-Tu, whose amphibian warblings may or may not have met up with tuba and Hawaiian steel guitar before, but probably never within the same song. If all of this sounds a bit deliberate and precious, the relieving news is that it's not. Hazmat Modine are unconventional in every sense, but theirs is listener-friendly music, nothing that requires a degree in ethnomusicology to enjoy. Many other bands, from Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks to the Cheap Suit Serenaders, and from the Jim Kweskin Jug Band to Squirrel Nut Zippers, have mined forgotten caves of Americana before, but Hazmat Modine's widened the playing field here, taking the resurrection international on this stunning debut.

　　HAZMAT MODINE在2006年出的第一张唱片叫《Bahamut》，其中还和图瓦乐队Huun-Huur-Tu进行合作。现在已经得到极高称赞，纽约时报，纽约客等杂志也都一致推荐。作为世界音乐的唱片，《Bahamut》无疑是成功的，它的乐手它的音乐都是已经经历了十多年的磨练才形成的.
　　(关于Bahamut 的解释：
　　Bahamut（巴哈姆特）Behemoth（贝希摩斯，见下）的复数形式“Bahamoh”在流传到阿拉伯之后被误写为“Bahamut”，关于它的传说也发生了很大的变迁。巴哈姆特的传说代表着阿拉伯人的宇宙观，巴哈姆特形似巨鱼，飘浮在一片没有泡沫的汪洋大海上，在它的背上是一头巨牛，牛背上扛着一座红宝石山，山上有一天使，天使头上是六重地狱，地狱之上是地球，地球上面是七重天堂。在巴哈姆特的身下是一望无际的海洋，海洋下面是黑暗的深渊，再下面是火的海洋，最下面爬着一条巨蛇，如果不是因为惧怕真主阿拉，这条蛇会把所有的创造物都吞入肚中。 Bahamut是如此之大，人的视线根本无法达到，《天方夜谭》第496夜的故事说，耶稣在看过巴哈姆特之后，曾经昏倒在地三天三夜不省人事。)
