Otomo Yoshihide would have to be on anyone's list of avant turntables, especially the still-staggeringly-awesome Ground Zero, his noise rock ensemble of eight albums or so where he played turntables, guitars, samplers, etc. For turntable work specifically, I'd recommend the recently reissued Plays Standards (on Recommended) where he takes on Roland Kirk's Say a Little Prayer; or Null & Void (on Tzadik), where he blends Holger Czukay's offbeat dub version of The International with a dizzying array of other instruments. He's continued to do the occasional turntable gig, occasionally solo. An incredibly versatile and varied performer. Check out the discography at his web site, http://www.japanimprov.com/yotomo/index.html. At 04:54 PM 12/2/02 -0500, richard ladew wrote:
