Since Efren has already provided you with some outstanding advice regarding recent Berne, all I'll add is that you should run, don't walk, to pick up the Winter and Winter reissue of 'Fractured Fairy Tales,' one of the essential Berne discs that went too long out of print. And speaking of out of print, you should snatch up the two Koch reissues of Tim's Columbia albums, 'Fulton Street Maul' and 'Sanctified Dreams,' since they've both ben deleted again. The earlier album is dense, dizzying and includes some of Bill Frisell's most satisfying shred ever; the latter is simply outstanding skewed avant-bop and, along with 'Fractured Fairy Tales,' one of Tim's earliest "mature" statements. Regarding the Screwgun releases by blodcount (about which I'm hardly objective, having had a small hand in their release at the time), if the thought of a 3CD plunge is daunting, the single disc 'Discretion' is a good indicator of what you can expect from Berne of that vintage. "Is That a Gap?" still holds up for me as one of his strongest, grooviest compositions, especially when Mike and Jim start insinuating that commanding backbeat behind the squalling horns. I'm sure that Tim might have mentioned at the show you attended that it was a final "rehearsal" before they took that new material into the studio, I believe for Winter and Winter.

Any Tim Berne fans on the list? I saw a Big Satan show Friday and was blown away! Marc Ducret, Tom Rainey - Wow!
His album "Science Friction" is amazing and I was curious as to the opinions of some of his other releases... The only ones I have are: The Shell Game, Science Friction, Big Satan's Winter & Winter release and an old BloodCount disc with Jim Black on drums...
