Hi again,
Great Jewish Music by Burt Bacharach. There might be a few gems in there, but this was the album that stopped me cold from any considerations of being a Tzadik completist.
I don't really think that "Great Jewish Music: Burt Bacharach" represents a meaningful example of the Tzadik catalogue or that it should discourage anyone to keep on investigating. Furthermore, i think that most of the covers there are really twisting the originals in a very clever way. Take Dave Douglas, Marc Ribot or Mike Patton's as examples. And yes, some forgettable spots like the Quine/Cole collaboration. If you find this prescindible, you haven't heard the Marc Bolan release...
Otomo Yoshihide, Filament 1. He's done other interesting sine wave work, even under the Filament name, but this one, his first, is still pretty dull.
Was this published by Extreme Records? if so, I must agree with you 100%. totally boring and unsubstantial.

Not that I disagree with your post, but just thought I'd point out that Mike Patton's Bacharach cover is very very similar to the original...
