It's very song oriented, which is somewhat unusual for SY. Though the songs are distinctly SY. Though "noisy" Murray Street isn't as abrassive in it's noise as even the pretty poppy Dirty, IMHO. It's also short on the experimentation that has been common in the past. There are almost some tracks that I could almost see played on the radio, which doesn't seem quite normal for SY. I would like to know what others think on this matter. Overall, I think it's a very strong release, but not SY at their best. > > Zach Well stated. I pretty much feel the same way about it after listening to it about 5 or 6 times now. I'd add though that I find it does take a while for their albums to sink in, especially the last few ones. I've been a fan for a while so it's hard to totally discount what they do. Can't say I agree with the Pitchfork review though the writer takes an interesting tack in describing different kinds of SY fans. I remember some other discussions (maybe on the this list?) saying that you can't expect bands like SY (or Yo La Tengo for instance) to keep making the angry, noise-fests that they used to in their early days. I would be really disappointed with them if they kept remaking EVOL or SISTER or DAYDREAM NATION (though those are great albums). If you've made your peace with the songful direction they've taken over the course of their last few records, you'll definitely like this latest one.

It would not hurt either if somebody had something to say on that record. Thanks! Patrice.

Hello. >Derek Bailey - Pieces For Guitar (...) >Blimey! Wonder how Zorn got Bailey to let these be put out? If they were >any good wouldn't DB have put them out on Incus ages ago? No, he wouldn't. This is from the Incus homepage: "The Incus vaults hold many so far unissued tapes and videos but its not known when, if ever, they might appear. Our preference is for new or recent recordings and there are usually too many of these in the pipeline to allow us time for rummaging around in the archives."

Not to mention Derek Bailey - Pieces For Guitar "...the earliest known solo recordings of guitar innovator Derek Bailey. Dating from 1966 (possibly 1965) these pieces were recorded for personal study during a transitional period and include some of the only instances of him performing his own written compositions!! Under the influence of the music of Anton Webern, Bailey began working through a variety of techniques as he formalized his unique approach to music in general and the guitar in particular..." Blimey! Wonder how Zorn got Bailey to let these be put out? If they were any good wouldn't DB have put them out on Incus ages ago? I wonder what the audio quality is too. Speaking of new tzadiks, has anyone got any opinions on (the musical content of) "Hemopheliac"? I've listened once whilst doing other things and it didn't really grab me.

New Tzadiks

Hi, The Tzadik website has already been updated and among the upcoming releases, two new Zorn filmworks. One with the Masada String Trio (July) and the other (August) features, among other things, a Marc Ribot/Min-Xiao Feng duo!! Sounds promising.

Though > "noisy" Murray Street isn't as abrassive in it's > noise as even the pretty poppy Dirty, IMHO. I've never seen "Dirty" as a poppy album at all, except maybe for tunes like "Sugar Kane" or "Chapell Hill", the rest of the record is pretty contundent. There are almost some tracks > that I could almost see played on the radio, which > doesn't seem quite normal for SY. Actually, many SY tunes should or could easily be heard on the radio, not due to my personal pleasure, but for their accessible nature. Maybe I'm wrong and I lost my perception but I find SY to be absolutely mainstream (their Geffen releases), specially considering that Ricky Martin or Enrique Iglesias are universes apart! :-) Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle _______________________________________________________________ Copa del Mundo de la FIFA 2002 El Ãºnico lugar de Internet con vÃdeos de los 64 partidos.

Hi, > hello all, any thoughts on sonicyouth's newest? Just > read a favorable > review on pitchfork I just listened to it once and it's their most pop-oriented album, even more than "Washing Machine". Pretty quiet all through. Probably their most accessible work to date. And it includes the typical SY hit, in this case, "Karen Revisited" sung by the great Lee Ranaldo. It's probably one of their best songs ever. > I am curious, would this be a good starting place > fora beginner? No. I'd go for "Dirty", "Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star" and "NYC Ghosts & Flowers" first. However, there aren't two SY fans that will mention the same choices. So these are mine!
