Thanks @Plong42 for introducing us to this great album.
Got me into listening to Electric Masada and Masada including the latter's album "Masada: Live in Sevilla 2000".
You can't go far wrong with any of the Masada albums what surprised me way back then was how different the live albums were in regards to each other. Also @Plong42 Masada String Trio is fine stuff. Possibly my favourite though is: "The Circle Maker is a double album by John Zorn featuring Zorn's Masada compositions performed by the Masada String Trio (on Disc One: Issachar) and the Bar Kokhba Sextet (on Disc Two: Zevulun) which was released in 1998 on the Tzadik label." (lifted from Wikki).
Oh for the old emusic days of buying random things every month just because they looked kind of interesting. But hey, this one's free/NYOP on bandcamp now, along with a bunch of their other stuff. Bandcamp says 2016, but this was actually released in 2001. Also, despite the band name, it does have some guitars and keyboards on it too. It's delightfully off-kilter. I love the bandcamp tags: electronic / rock / industrial / tuba.
"Grides" one of my favourite Soft Machine albums, recorded live at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw on October 25, 1970 primarily featuring tracks from two of their best albums, "Third" and "Fourth".
@djh- Bar Kokhba Sextet Circle Drawer is one of my favorites. Have you listened to 50th Birthday Celebration, Vol. 11? Three CDs worth of Bar Kokhba Sextet. Book of Angels Vol. 10 is also excellent.

I have 50th B'day vol 11 but got it in a mass acquisition and haven't paid it due attention. Thanks for the reminder.
Surprisingly, there's a connection to the above posts. I'd forgotten this was on Tzadik. I do not mentally associate this sound - or Tetsu Inoue - with Tzadik.
Interestingly, according to the Wikipedia article on the Boards of Canada, "The band's name was inspired by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), the government agency whose award-winning documentary films and animation they had watched as children......From 1979 to 1980, they lived in Calgary, Canada,"

Yeah that factoid was all over the press when they first started out. In other well known news they are about to release their first album in about 13 years. Lots of my friends loved their albums but for some reason it took me quite a while to warm to Music Has the Right.., Geogaddi, Campfire Headphase and I don't think I ever heard Tomorrow's Harvest. Don't know why as they are pretty well aimed right in my direction. Apropos of not a lot although I like them I was never as bowled over as my pals with Broadcast (admitting to this can get you lynched!) Maybe I should cue up a bit of both - as soon as I've listened to a bit more vintage West African sounds - the sun having broken cover in still slightly chilly Kirkwall. Anyway enjoy!

Ironically the band comes from Edinburgh, Scotland not Canada!
Boards of Canada albums are available on Bandcamp.
