I liked it but thought it took a while to get going (it's one long piece) and still has some slow spots. But that's only one hearing; I suspect it may offer more the next times around. Parker has some particularly sharp playing at spots.

This is from Stephen Drury (09/17/98):
The Zorn piece is fragment XIV from "Sebastapol" (an unrecorded game
piece), later retitled "Dead Ringer". It's about 2 minutes long. Tomoko's
an excellent pianist who made a film with Louis Andriessen and has been
playing with Rzewski lately (and studied with me for a summer). The CD
also includes my edition of Charles Ives' "Celestial Railroad".

The very first time I ordered, I had a little trouble
with Riouxs, just a little; but since then it's been
great, esp. since the guy does things outside the
store/mail order and somehow finds time for personal
life, I assume, and still is very kind to make
recommendations and listen to Handley voice-prattle.
My experience since that first time is that it's a
swell place to shop; plus in addition to cooperatively
running Kim Cascone's Anechoic label (fine e.p. CD
with Cascone + Keith Rowe), they'll be producing their
own in-house label soon, called Infraction; I think
the first release will be by enigmatic electronic
musician Zammuto.
