Alternating back and forth between William Parker, Mayor of Punkville and Leyland Kirby, Sadly the Future No Longer is What It Was, just purchased Friday as part of a Bandcamp haul in support of the ACLU promotion.
Going back and forth because Mayor of Punkville is on a Sandisk MP3 player which has such a bad battery that it only lasts about an hour. I don't know why I keep using it. But I do. And also as much as I like the Leyland Kirby, it is a lot to listen to all at once.
@Plong42 It certainly looks that way from the rim, but I can already feel that the footing there is slippery...
So far I very much like Painted Bird and Dreamachines, especially the former. Are there any other albums in the catalog that focus on combining metal guitar and jazz vibraphone?
"Taken from David Axelrod's awesome 1972 LP album; THE
AUCTION, which has still to this day (04.2011) yet to be released onto
CD. Track #5 on the vinyl LP.
I
posted this purely to get more people interested in this amazing artist
who is massively underappreciated. The father of a whole genre of
music, jazz-fusion and the grandfather of hip hop, DAVID AXELROD!"

Probably not ever in the history of music?
Painkiller is some harsh grindcore noise; I recently added Τhe Crucible and Templars in Blood from eMu, quite similar to Painkiller. I prefer the Masada albums, especially Masada String Trio. The Book of Angels is similar klezmar infused music; the Bar Kohkba series is also good. I sometimes get the feeling I have bought the same song in 300 slight variations, but I do enjoy it anyway.
I have quite a few of the FIlmworks albums, usually atmospheric and less avant-garde.
FWIW, I currently have 526 items in iTunes somehow tagged with John Zorn (artist and composer). That is about a quarter of his output, I think. To stay on topic, now playing David Krakauer, Pruflas: Book of Angels Volume 18.
Mosaic is still coming out with all kinds of goodies. Their latest is their 264th set: the Savoy Be-Bop Sessions. Mosaic Selects have stopped for now, but they still sell them - with OP titles coming back after repressings. I have all of them (38 boxes) as well as the 20 Mosaic singles.
Ah I see it's just that there was almost nothing in the Select part of the shop when I looked. Any recent faves (not select obv.)?
Noticed a reputable fellow on another board say that once the Selects and Singles are gone, that's it - they are history. Still, check Amazon for them at still pretty good prices
and Mosaic is having a "free shipping" sale thru Feb. 12 on orders over $50.
@Plong42, thanks. So far I am enjoying the stuff that has a bit of an edge more than the gentler stuff. But it's early days. I am thinking of investigating the Interzone and Nova Express albums next.

That is what I remember hearing sometime back. Thanks for the tip about Amazon but it won't apply to Brexiters on the right bank. (But I should check in case I'm wrong!)

John Zorn, with Carol Emanuel - harp; Bill Frisell - guitar; Kenny Wollesen - vibraphone, bells; Ikue Mori - electronics (track 7). Very quiet, contemplative. Album three in the Gnostic trio, which ironically has six albums. The first four are now available on eMu.
