Re: John Zorn - Cobra

One thing I've been curious about (on this reissue and other recordings): Is each of the short tracks a separate game of Cobra, or is each disc a single long game broken up later into tracks?

Good question ;-) I would tend to think each track is a piece of the game (not the game itself) and each disc is a new "instance" of the game: if there's some sort of unity inside one track, there's no real link (or at least not that I can see) between each track. Maybe seeing Cobra live would provide more answers... - Thierry
