Robert Quine

Hi all, I don't know much of the music of Robert Quine, but what I heard in colaboration with John Zorn is just brilliant. The guitar solo on "Erotico" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Too bad, such tragedy! _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail en Messenger on the move http://www.msn.nl/communicatie/smsdiensten/hotmailsmsv2/

I've been listening for a few months, and it has a some staying power. I keep coming back to it, after it got a chance to prove itself and grow on me. It's just a good solid album with a few so-so tracks. It's not as good as Murray Street, but that doesn't mean it is bad. It's amazing how clean it is at first (cleaner than MS), but the clarity reveals many layers of well arranged, intricate guitar work--in singable, rock songs no less. The songs are as catchy as anything SY has done, but they aren't annoying or lesser songs. They concentrated on melodies (in addition to the arrangements) on this one, and they are wonderful (particularly on Renaldo's songs). All in all, Sonic Nurse is enjoyable, if not mind blowing. If a band can put out albums that are intersting and enjoyable after 20+ years in existence, can you really ask too much more?

Is there an up-to-date version of JZ's discography. Patrice Roussel has done an absolutely mind-blowing job, but it hasn't been updated for a while. John
