| Hi! Lee!
At least one Zorn fan is here. I've been wondering where I should post about
him, on JAZZ conference, there's no topic about him.
As far as I know, he's been released,
Locus Solos
Cobra
Spilane
FilmWorks
SPY vs SPY
News from Lulu
More news from Lulu
As Naked City, he has released two albums. I'm not sure its
'death-thrash-metal', but I can say it's far from 'thrash-metal'. However,
I'm sure it'll thrash your ear. And as a Pain Killer - this is a trio with
Bill Laswell - there's one album. This trio seems rather short-life one. Bill
stated the trio was really experimental.
Unfortunately, I can't find those albums around Boston. Maybe Knitting
Factory in NY has them.
My recommendations are FilmWorks and Naked City, these are easy to listen(?!
yeah, of course comparing with Cobra, SPY vs SPY...). SPY vs SPY is a
dedicated album to Ornet Coleman. Very tense non-stop improvisation. You need
to be phycally and mentally well when you listen to it.
Spilane is an example of his wide relation. Albert Collins, Kronos Quartet,
John Lury, Ohta Hiromi(maybe nobody of you know her, but she was my idle star
when I was a junior high school student) are involved in this
movie-improvised collections.
He's not only a cinemania but he also works on some film soundtracks.
FilmWorks is the collection of his movie songs.
I heard he lives in Japan half a year and another half in NY. Seems he loves
Japanese comics as you can see them on Cobra, Naked City. Those frightnig
pictures of Naked City are written by Maruo Suehiro, who's a star in Japanese
underground comic scene.

I have an ambiguous reaction to Zorn. He is an excellent player, but also
happens to be, sadly, a prat of the first order (I don't want to go on about
this - I entered a note about it in the JAZZ conference).
Suffice to say that his "thrash" music is derivative, dull, and extremely
embarassing to watch, particularly if you know the musicians involved well
enough to realise that they can actually play.
His jazz-based work, on the other hand, is right out there at the cutting edge.
Spy vs Spy and the two News for Lulu albums are required listening.

I found one of the Pain Killer CD's over the weekend; Guts of a Virgin. It
sounded very much like the Naked City works, but more stripped down. However,
that didn't stop it being one of the most frightening albums I've ever heard.
Great stuff. Apparently there's a new Pain Killer album out `Buried Secrets'
but I've yet to find it.

| What label is Pain Killer on? Zorn also performs on some works out of
Germany on the Intakt label, with David Moss' Dense Band. A true audio
overload experience!

| Sorry, that should have been the Moers label, not Intakt.

The Pain Killer albums are (in the U.K.) on, unsurprisingly, the Earache label.
`Buried Secrets' release date has been put back a while, not sure why. Perhaps
they've had more problems with the sleeve artwork like they did on `Guts of a
Virgin.'
