Electric Masada
by Efrén del Valle 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hi, Last Monday I got the monthly Tzadik package; Electric Masada and Locus Solus were among the stuff. Although I never managed to get into the original Locus Solus (I think I've never listened it until the end), I find this new live recording amazing. Here I do hear rock as a true pillar of the group's sound and I feel it as some sort of threshold to Naked City or Painkiller. It sounds like an actual power trio, with amazing improvisations and heavy guitar skronk. This is the Arto I've wanted to listen for ages, unlike his electro-bossa-samba eluccubrations. Needless to say, Zorn's great and Fier has also been a nice surprise. I had only heard him with the Lizards, if I'm not wrong. The EM album is also great, but I haven't really been a supporter of the project for a while now. I'm quite exhausted, so my opinion isn't the one to pay attention to right now. However, there are superb improv segments, Mori and Saft add a lot to the overall sound, imho, the rythym section is a dream and I don't need to comment on Ribot, I guess. I'd definitely remove the "Idalah-Abal" version. It rocks too much! I'm quite sure those with high expectations won't feel disappointed. I also receive Agata's "Spike" and the Ostertag DVD, but couldn't enjoy them so far. Tonight Eyvind Kang + Fantomas. I'll let you know my impressions tomorrow morning. Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle n.p: Sun City Girls "Carnival Folklore Resurrection Radio" (Abduction) ______________________________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! - 6MB, mÃ¡s protecciÃ³n contra el spam Â¡Gratis! http://correo.yahoo.es

Locus Solus was & still is one of my Zorn favourites, I'm just sad that Arto & Zorn dont colaborate as often ... arto seems to be stuc on bossa nova & electronics on his solo records... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail, o maior webmail do Brasil. http://www.hotmail.com

fela kuti

all I have is a fela kuti greatest hits record, any suggestions for essential Fela albums to check out? Personal faves include Sorrow, Tears and Blood, Zombie, ITT and Coffin Head of State. Most of the albums are doubled up on CD, which helps, but Fela put out a lot of product over the years. Its all consistently high in quality, but, and don't get me wrong this is not a criticism, variety is not the key. The Wire did an excellent overview on him last year (Issue 234) which is worth checking, rule of thumb is that more essential his work the greater consternation it caused the government.

There is a 3 cd box set published by Universal France "Fela Kuti, King of Afro Beat". There is also a good album called "Original sufferhead" from Shanachie, but Its a copilation. Simon
