- - I was just wondering if anybody had had a chance to
listen to the following new Tzadik releases: Kayo Dot,
Chien-Yin-Chen, Muna Zul and Ted Reichmann. Any
comments? - -

i have the chance to listen KAYO DOT and i am disappointed....

this release suffer same problem of MAUDLIN OF THE WELL albums...

it is so weak....

it's sort of an hybrid between post metal/rock and AVANT prog sounds...

definitely nothing special i think...

there are many mores better bands in so called experimental rock/metal field...

expecially outside u.s.a.

why zorn don't consider bands(and their side projects) like:ATROX(monika edvarsen),SOLEFALD,CRYPTOPSY,PECCATUM,THE PROVENANCE,DARTH VEGAS,SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM,CEPHALIC CARNAGE,MESHUGGAH etc....?

i think that i am tired of all this called post rock-post metal

- - Also, I'm thinking of ordering a Maya Deren DVD called
"Experimental Films" which was released last year. I
haven't seen any of her films but I'm quite curious
after Zorn's soundtrack for "In the mirror...". - -

BUY IT!

maya deren made great cinematic poetry and movie art....
