Any information about the Buck Jam Tonic project of John Zorn, Bill Laswell and Tatsuya Nakamura? It's pretty decent stuff... the Nakamura disc is very rock-oriented in its sound, editing, and mixing, while the Laswell disc concentrates on much longer (15-to-30-minute) tracks that blend a lot of that same material together. Taken together, they remind me a lot of Pain Killer: the vibe is close to the heavy bits of Execution Ground, but the drumming and pacing is a lot more like "Portent" on Guts of a Virgin. Oh, and Zorn actually *plays* for extended periods instead of just making shrieking noises. There should be some brief samples of the thing up on the Brainwashed Brain (www.brainwashed.com/brain/) next week.
