Thanks for the comments and insight everyone. I took the bait and picked the CD up and I must say that as a Quine fan this is almost a dream come true. His playing is so emotive and steeped in the blues; it's really a crime he doesn't have much (any?) stuff under his own name. Ribot is great as well. That being said, I can see where some people might not care of this album. Mori's contribution comes across as minimal, which is troubling since this is ostensibly her project.
As for other Quine-related projects, here's a short list of my personal favorites:
Richard Hell & the Voidoids - Blank Generation
Lou Reed - The Blue Mask
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Zorn - Big Gundown, Spillane, Film Works '86-'90
Lydia Lunch - Queen of Siam
Thanks again,
Murray

I'm fond of _Basic_, as well, although YMMV. He and Ribot do have
some good lines on Corin Curschellas's Valdun: Voices of Rumantsch
CD, although they're not on every track, and I should warn you that
oddly enough, i agree with almost everything that was already said about painted desert. while it's not the best from any of the three, it's a really nice record. true, as someone said, it doesn't go anywhere, but that's what i like about it. very western, endless mesa, no stampedes, no stagecoach heists. reminds me of zorn's "pueblo," the recording of which i still haven't heard but the 40 minute performance at the cooler years ago i'll never forget.
if you don't have, say, hex kitchen or shoestring symphonettes, don't rush into getting it. but it's better than the blue mask.

Subject: Morricone the barbarian!
Hi all again
I was wathcing Red Sonja the other night, you may
remember that film from such actors as Arnie.....and
such films as Conan. But anyway I was very surprised
to see that Morricone did the soundtrack, although
very little music was actually in the film. Does
anyone know if this soundtrack is available, if ennio
did the other Conan films and if they have available
