I was there too. The set was pretty chaotic and distorted, more then last year in Ghent. I'd love to see cyro in action! In an encore Zorn did some of his great sax techniques using only the mouthpiece etc. As mentioned in the 'techniques'- thread I've seen Zorn pushing the bell against his leg a lot of times, and he did a lot of 'Prrt Prrt Prrt'! He was so good to sign my 17 cd booklets and even had time for a little chat. Jan

I saw El.Mas. last night in Brussels. Quite an intense performance, as always. I really liked the double-drummer assault (plus the percussion). Ikue Mori contributed some nice electronics and Ribot didnt play as much as I remember him playing last time I saw them; my impression is that Saft contributed quite a lot this time. Overal, plenty of frantic moments and with some nice jump-cut parts. Compared to their show in Den Haag last year, this show left me less of a "Miles-Davis-70's" impression and a stronger "game-Zorn" feeling. And it is always so nice when they get back to a familiar masada melody after creating havoc!
My problem is that my recollection of the day is the train trip, which lasted four times longer than the show, rather than the concert itself.
