     Yes, I saw and listened to it in the store. It is horrible, but
in a humorous way. The CD has a constant hiss, periodic
scratches, pops and fuzz as if it truly was an ancient recording from an
unearthed album. The music itself consists of minimal melody (what else if
new) with Eye creating soft nonsense noises rather than his usual onslaught
of pain. I can't say whether you'd like it or not.

checked out any of the titles on the new Sub Meta label?  I'm interested in

I know someone posted this previously, but is the new Buckethead out?
Also what are the new releases on Sub-meta? It took a while, but I
tracked down a copy of Bucketheadland & I think it's pretty good (even
though the 1st track sounds like a blatant ozzy rip-off, and i'm not
totally able to deal with drum machines.) If you've never heard this CD
and enjoy Bucket's playing, and the humor of Bootsy, try to pick this one
up, not to mention the executive producer is Zorn.- STICKMAN

Arto Lindsay's The Subtle Body is scheduled for a US release from Bar/None
(it had previously been out on Ryuichi Sakamoto's label in Japan).  Don't
know the exact due date.  I've heard a tape and it's certainly low-key, sort
of Arto's Brazilian album (one song is even in Portugeuse).

Yes.  However, for some strange reason, Caroline, the largest distributor
of indie labels, is not getting it into stores very well.

There are now four releases on Sub-Meta.  See the URL below to find info
and cover art for all of them.

Anyone can be an executive producer with the right connection to the label.
_Bucketheadland_ was basically just Buckethead and Bootsy in Bootsy's
studio.  I don't think Zorn had anything to do with it other than getting
it released on his label.  _Giant Robot_, which was released on Sony Japan,
is much better musically and in terms of production/recording and has some
of the same music but no drum machines.   (There is also a cassette that
appears to be called _Giant Robot_ but is very different.  It can sometimes
be purchased at Buckethead shows.)

_Day of the Robot_ is quite different from the earlier CDs, for one thing
most tracks have jungle beats.  For another, there are no voice samples.
Great guitar and very well recorded.

Earational has them for under $35.00. At the recent Tzadik fest in New York a
table was set up selling all the releases ($10!) and a nifty catalog was
available. In the catalog many new titles were announced including the
re-issue of the 3 cd Execution Ground.

No skronk, mainly melody. Not my favorite, but enjoyable.

i just got the ruins latest cd in my mailbox.  man is it strange!
i can safely say, the second listen made a lot more sense than the
first one; and with luck, subsequent listens will continue to do their
magic.  it seems like they are highly talented guys who fill space
extremely well for being a bass/drums duo; it also seems that their
sense of humor is warped and very funny.  the intro/outro to
"speedball" just kill me.

Melt Banana actually has a cd out called Speak Squeak Creak.  It is great
Japanese noise music.  Heavy bass, cool voice, sometimes sounds like death
metal.  Quick transitions.  Very cool stuff if you haven't heard it yet.
Don't mean to shamelessly plug a friend, but the only place that i have
ever found this cd is from Aquarius Records/3961 24th St./ San Fransisco,
CA 94114.  Telephone: [phone].   It is a very good cd.  IF you are
interested in buying it, this might be the place to find it.

connected to the brain, right?

But brain surgeons have not been able yet to explain what makes the difference
between somebody who has some creative skills and the others.

For that reason, the physiological point of view does not bring a lot of
water to our mill. At least, that's the way I think.

Hence I will stick to a theory of perception point of view. I believe (and I
am not the only one), that our appreciation of things is a subtle mix between
sensual and intellectual perceptions. There are things that I mainly
appreciate from a sensual point of view, like eating; and things that are
so complex that my senses are of no recourse to appreciate it.

Anyway, this debate is old like the world...

As you know, there are few Masada projects, but no idea when they will be out:

*** - ???: Chamber Masada (1996 - Tzadik (USA), ??? (CD or 2xCD))
  might be out in July 1996

I just got it. It's truly amazing!  This guy's all over the map and somewhat
twisted.

BTW, anyone know how to pronounce his first name?

No sign of Trey Spruance on this one.  In fact I've never heard of any of the
other players on this CD.

Kang is apparently quite prolific, and is involved in numerous (Seattle
based, I think) projects at any given time, and I wouldn't be surprised if he
crossed paths with Spruance at some point.  Spruance is involved with some of
the San Fran avant garde jazz scene by way of his association with Ben
Goldberg (they play in a quartet with Trevor Dunn and Dougie Bowne), and I'm
not sure what else (but there is probably more).  Aside from the Frisell
disc, Kang also appears on the new quintet recording by Joe McPhee, which I
recall also features Stuart Dempster (and is released through the Deep
Listening label).  Anything by McPhee is pretty much guaranteed to be superb
(I have yet to be disappointed with any of his works), and once Kang is
thrown in to the mix, the possibilities seem limitless.

yes, i saw kang and spruance together in a 'mr. bungle attempts free improv' show
in s.f. i must admit, however, that it was pretty lame, epecially kang's
contribution. he played without any noticeable regard for the other musicians.
i've since heard all these great things about him, so maybe he was just having a
bad night.

spruance is less involved with the avant jazz scene here as he is with the noise
scene, as a member of faxed head and other more adhoc groups.

All this talk about Eyvind Kang has gotten me curious as to who he is.
I've never heard of him before; could someone tell me a bit about him?

i'd say start with alef (1) or gimel (3). there's not a huge difference between
any of them, they all have the same lineup, same production, consistent soloing,
so it pretty much boils down to which tunes you like best.
