Frisell sounding fine
by Mikail Faunus 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

Bill Frisell was extraordinary in trio last night at the Village Vanguard. After hearing ill reviews of his recent work, my caution had been peaked. To my delight, he shined with sensitivity and mature skill. His undulating, surreal tones were hypnotizing, compelling me wonder how one instrument could produce the richness of bass, rhythm, and lead. Inspected the equipment to discover he's using THREE delays and the nebulously manufactured JSP300X processor. Anyone familiar? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

New re-issue of Cobra
by Andrew Stiffler 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

Hello, I am wondering if there is any difference between the newly re-issued Cobra and the original? Other than I am sure it's 24bit re-mastered as all of the Hatology releases are now. I seem to like the artwork from the original, is it contained within the packaging of the re-issue? Just wondering if I need to pick it up? Thanks, Andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com

There are sound samples up at www.mysticnade.net The neti-neti band is not the Sun City Girls. I do not know if I am at liberty to say who is the Neti-Neti band... The cd is amzing! Also, look for Eyvind Kang tourdates coming soon. Thanks, John Schuller > >Since I actually happened to be listening to the disc as I read you >message, I'll provide a few thoughts.

Re: organ [gruesome japanese film]

Speaking of gruesome films, has anyone seen Maldoror. I remeber seeing an ad for it in Fortean Times. It was supposed to be showing in a few places in europe. Filmmakers got together and made different scenes from the book, putting them all together. I want to see this, but don't know if it has or will see any other releases besides these few cinemas. Any input etc? >From: jason tors <jasontors(a)yahoo.com> >To: zornlist <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: organ [gruesome japanese film] >Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 09:40:26 -0700 (PDT) > >I saw organ last night on dvd, I have never explored any films relating >to zorns fabled interest in japanese underground culture.

Since I actually happened to be listening to the disc as I read you message, I'll provide a few thoughts. I think the disc is fantastic,yes fairly minimalist and quiet but also deep and beautiful. It has four tracks, all fairly long, the tune 'Binah' is clearly the "centerpiece" of the album at 27min. The backing band is listed as the 'Neti-Neti' band, and could be overdubbed Kang, or (as DMG speculates) the 'Sun City Girls' There is a decent amount of guitar, especially in the previously mention 'Binah' and in the title track. I'd say it's the most like 'Story of Iceland' with repetitive themes and atmospherics, but more introspective, (but there is nothing like the playfulness of '10:10', it all stays in character) Lot's of interesting new sounds in this one: static, subtle electronics, and of course some sweet violin (or viola). So highly recommended, -Robert > >From: "Arthur Gadney" <a_gadney(a)hotmail.com> >To: zorn-list(a)lists.xmission.com >Subject: New Eyvind Kang CD >Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 17:00:56 +0000 > >Hi! > >Any comments on the new Eyvind Kang CD "Live Low To The Earth In The Iron >Age"?? > >I heard it was more minimalist than his previous CDs, which I imagine might >suit his playing.... > >Cheers, > -- "The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.

organ [gruesome japanese film]
by jason tors 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

I saw organ last night on dvd, I have never explored any films relating to zorns fabled interest in japanese underground culture. I found this movie to be vile and pretty disturbing, but at the same time I became desensitized to the violence and was captivated by the story line [at least trying to figure out what was going on] here is a brief descript from netflix Organ (1996) Starring: Kei Fujiwara, Kimihiko Hasegawa Director: Kei Fujiwara Tokyo cops investigate the black market in human organs, only to find themselves on the wrong end of the surgeon's knife! Director Kei Fujiwara's disturbing horror film ignited a wave of controversy in its native Japan. Organ -- which may feature the most graphic depictions of vivisection in cinematic history -- was subsequently censored, though the full version has been restored for release on DVD. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

New & Upcoming Releases (NZC)
by Grey ElkGel 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

[Apologies for the promotional nature of this message.] Out Now: Greg Kelley: If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack. CD [Rossbin] $10 This follow-up to 2000s Trumpet [Meniscus] further explores the use of the recording tool as medium. Using intentional signal distortion and interruption, abrupt pause-button edits, and close-miking effects, Kelley has created a homegrown concrete meditation on the void. Brilliantly mastered by Jason Lescalleet. Praise for Trumpet [Meniscus, 2000]: This solo recording by trumpeter Greg Kelley is a bit like the black canvas with a white spot in the middle: One might question its value as art. -Steven Loewy [All Music Guide] ...at the very least represents a challenging test of any listener's patience. - Scott Hreha [one final note] Albums such as this which apparently consist of extended technique for its own sake ... are musically about as arid as reading a computer instruction manual. - Dan Warburton [Paris Transatlantic] ...its value strikes me more as being a demonstration... - Jerry Kranitz [Aural Innovations] ...this disc isn't for everyone. - Ken Waxman [Jazz Weekly.com] Other new releases featuring Greg Kelley: ANTHONY BRAXTON Six Compositions (GTM) 2001 4CD [Rastascan/Limited Sedition/Barely Auditable] $34 Anthony Braxton, Scott Rosenberg, Dan Plonsey, Jesse Gilbert, Justin Yang-reeds; Taylor Ho-Bynum, Greg Kelley-brass; John Shiurba-guitar; Matthew Sperry-contrabass Gino Robair-percussion Braxtons Ghost Trance Music as interpreted by a cross-continental tentet [including Kelley] (discs 1 & 2), quintet (disc 3), quartet, trio and duo (disc 4). PAUL FLAHERTY/GREG KELLEY/CHRIS CORSANO: Sannyasi CD [Wet Paint] $10 Paul Flaherty: saxophones Greg Kelley: trumpet Chris Corsano: drums Kelley joins Flaherty & Corsano for some more hated music. Coming Soon: HEATHEN SHAME LP [Twisted Village] Wayne Rogers & Kate Biggar alchemically fuse their guitars to Greg Kelley's trumpet. Synthesizers get turned on. Volume prevails. NMPERIGN+DOERNER,BEINS LP [Twisted Village] One side of the nmperign duo exploring an open hall. One side of pop chesnuts w/ nmperign, axel doerner and burkhard beins. All titles available at Twisted Village [www.twistedvillage.com] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com

Re: DVD Stuff/Tarkovsky
by Ben Axelrad 18 Aug '02

A while back on this list there was a thread about DVDs we would like to see released, and a few mentioned Tarkovsky's "Solaris" and "Stalker". I found a place that sells the Ruscico versions of these discs, for $36 each (much cheaper than the $50 price tag at Kim's Underground): http://www.mhvf.net/forum/russian.shtml The website says the discs are Region 0 encoded. Apparently the Region 1 disc of Stalker is being released by Image in October for $50: "RusCiCo's Stalker DVD is set to be distributed in North America (R1/NTSC) exclusively by IMAGE Entertainment. The release date is October 15, 2002, and the price tag is USD 49.95." (http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~tstronds/nostalghia.com/TheNews.html) Criterion is currently preparing "Solaris" with a bunch of interviews and deleted scenes as extras. (No word on their website though) Just placed an order, so I don't have any details about reliability, service, etc. Peace, Ben _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
