Its been out for about six weeks. I believe the album was put together by the
folks at Sub Rosa, then licensed in the U.S. I've seen it in several chain
stores here in NYC. It's easy to miss as the cover has a 10% in large type
and the rest of the info is really tiny. For all you Mr. Bill fans, their is
a new Laswell dub CD on ROIR that is excellent.

The Divination track appeared on Ambient Dub Volume One and the Material
track Ineffect was originally on Seven Souls. The track lengths are
identical to the original releases so I don't think they are remixes (they
don't sound like it).

The main tracks of value/intrest for me were the archival recordings of
Brion Gysin _Cut Up_ and _From Here To Go_ documenting early cut up
experiments. The Islamic Diggers tracks are nice without really doing
anything new.

Scanner produces the most interesting tracks looping fragments of the
Master Musicians to trance inducing effect.

I found the recordings of the Gnoua and Joujouka musics totally irriating
(I like the laswell produced recordings) in the low budget documentary way
they are recorded. The result is totally unbalanced and sounds extremely
disjointed.

Overall I feel it's a very patchy compliation, with the filler outweighing
the *good stuff*. Laswellophiles won't find anything new on here and the
overall the set is disappointing. I'd recommend listening to it before
splashing the cash.

A far better purchase would be the underwood comp on sub rosa, which
features new material from a forthcoming Laswell disc, also new Mick Harris
a track from David Shea's _the tower of mirrors_ plus a few suprises like
Nus's _lament_ from a cd titled _all the vertical angels_ which is
apparently *another* Laswell production.

i am afraid i have it...it is a sub rosa release and it is really awful.
The first CD is the best with Scanner and Bomb The Bass playing some
decent dance tracks(although i have been told these tracks have
already been released elsewhere).Divination is really boring but then
again i don't like Lasswell's dance stuff very much... The second is
virtually useless, unless you are interested in listening to Paul Bowles
describing Brion Gysin's studio(it is more boring than it sounds) or marianne faithfull saying that
Brion Gysin was her only friend....not to mention Burroughs himself saying
something i cannot understand about Gysin. The only thing i can listen to
is John Cale's "On The Vine"(apparently included because he mentions
Burroughs in it) but i think it has also being released before.
If somebody is interested i will sell it for half the price just to get
rid of it.

The Bomb the Bass track appears elsewhere also, although it had a vocal and
appears without the vocal here.

    10% File Under burroughs is a pretty good 2 disc set.  I don't own it,
although I played it on a radio show I did last week (It was the
Laswell/Material track).  the track sounded familiar to the "hallucination
engine" cd (which is the only material cd I own).  Interspersed in the
music, is of course, the junk genious Nike pitch-meister himself.  I'd like
to buy my own copy, but haven't located it yet......

For those on this list who are fans of the Japanese band Ruins (I know many
are), some sad news:  Long-time Ruins bassist Ryuichi Masuda has quit the
band!  I heard this as a rumor a week or so ago, via a friend who heard it
from someone in the band A.C., and hoped it wasn't true because Masuda,
although he was the third (!) bassist that drummer/mastermind Tatsuya
Yoshida has played with in the duo, was my favorite, playing on their
penultimate album "Burning Stone" and making songwriting contributions on
their more recent Tzadik relase.  Plus I've met him and seen him play and
he's a great guy, really nice (as is Yoshida, although he's a bit more
reserved, at least in America).  Anyway, it apparently is true, this was
confirmed for me by the A&R guy at God Mountain records in Japan, who put
out the Ruins-side project band Hundred Sights of Koenji, in which Masuda
played guitar.  He's quit that too.  I have no idea (yet) why, maybe he had
a fight with Yoshida?  Or, more likely, he just wanted to do his own thing.
Any further info anybody else has on this would be appreciated!  And, as
far as I know, the Ruins will continue, Yoshida will just have to find
another insane bass player, teach him 50+ songs, etc.  But he's done that
before...

There is currently one other disc by this band, the one from which it got
its name, "Weather Clear, Track Fast" on enja.  It's another stomper, like
"Hue and Cry."

A slightly different version of the band has just recorded a live album in
Germany, for release in September.  That band includes bassist Lindsey
Horner, saxophonist Andrew d'Angelo, and others I can't recall off the top
of my head.  Don't be afraid of the strange names, though... it's Bobby's
working band and they mesh like you wouldn't believe.

As for other projects, there's a pretty densely composed suite of long
pieces on Zorn's Avant label called "Slay the Suitors" that's worth hearing.
The early electronic soundtrack "Dull Bang, Gushing Sound, Human Shriek" is
now reissued on Koch Jazz but is really best for the converted fan.
(There's PROBABLY more early Bobby coming from the same source...)  And
Bobby has most recently been gigging with a big ensemble of rotating
membership including the likes of Marty Ehrlich and Dave Douglas in the
Knitting Factory's Tap Room, playing early fusion things like "Bitches Brew"
and "Mwandishi"... as the band is a reaction to the somewhat stale offerings
found in most of the other jazz clubs in New York, the band is called "The
Horse You Rode In On."

And of course Bobby's Gramavision stuff is essential.

Bobby will have his own website soon, and within a year he's also going to
be running a label along the lines of Zorn's Tzadik.

BTW as for all the news about Dave Douglas projects, you may be interested
to know that he's just signed to Arabesque, and the first record will be a
followup to his Dolphy tribute on New World... this one's to be a Wayne
Shorter tribute.  The second will be a live Tiny Bell Trio disc to be
recorded on his next European tour.

Hope this is helpful!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

After a bit of research, I've come up with the lineup for the upcoming live
disc by Bobby Previte's band Weather Clear, Track Fast, which will be called
"Too Close to the Pole": Lindsey Horner, electric bass, voice; Andy Laster,
baritone sax, clarinet, flute, voice; Cuong Vu, trumpet, voice; Jamie Saft,
piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B-3, clavinet, voice; Curtis Hasselbring,
trombone, voice; Andrew d'Angelo, alto sax, bass clarinet, voice; Bobby
Previte, composer, drums, percussion, voice.

So I guess I was a little off the mark in calling this a "slightly"
different lineup of WCTF...:-)

By the way, Patrice was absolutely right, the New World record by Dave
Douglas is a tribute to Booker Little, not Eric Dolphy.  As far as I know,
there may very well be another Tiny Bell Trio disc due on Songlines prior to
any releases by Arabesque.

Someone asked about connnections between Masada and Cibo Matto.  Aside from
the Summerstage berth they share with Yoko Ono on July 6, Cibo sampler
player (samplist?) Yuka Honda plays in a Dave Douglas band, and she has a
solo album coming on Tzadik according to their brochure.  So there are at
least two examples.

        [e-mail]

Hello -
to the person who wondered if Eyvind has worked with the Boredoms:
(due to his wearing of a Boredoms t-shirt in the new album) -

I do know this: He played with the Sun City Girls when they opened
for the Boredoms here in Seattle.  And, I BELIEVE he also jammed
with the Boredoms during their set.

Moreover - I saw him play bass once(in the same club), in a hard
rock/punkish/whateva context.  It was rather funny, cause he
accidentally dropped the bass - and the OWNER of the bass(who did
not know Eyvind, but rather someone ELSE in the band) freaked out.
The owner of the bass took it away away from him while the show
was in progress.  Suffice to say, the guy was PISSED....
Oh, and btw, Eyvind can't really play bass well.  But then again,
ya really don't HAVE TO to rock out....and have some fun!

It could very well be a typo in the article, but I don't think so.  It
appears as if the guy is just a staff reporter, and isn't all that
familiar with Joey's work. Who know's? But I do remember Anderson's name

group he put together just for this piece or if this was his 'tiny bell
trio' i've heard about, which just happened to have five extra people in it.

How much stuff has Joey done? I only know him in the context of Zorn

Nope, there is no personnel overlap between Tiny Bell and Sanctuary.  Don't
know if the latter is another working band or just a special lineup, but
this was the band I mentioned that featured Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto.

Joey has done lots and lots, from early mainstream work (including a
beautiful 1986 trio record called "Sarabande" with pianist Fred Hersch and
bassist Charlie Haden) to his current avant bent.  The most important ones
to know, besides Zorn, are Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Miniature (a trio with
Berne and Hank Roberts) and his own Baron Down trio of saxophonist Ellery
Eskelin and trombonist Steve Swell.  The latter band is real important to
Joey and has three records.  If you see the JMT record "Tongue in Groove"
grab it cause it's probably now out of print.  There's also a record on New
World ("Raised Pleasure Dot") and a new one on Zorn's Avant label the name
of which I can't recall.  All of these are worth it if you're in any way
enamored of this amazing musician.  The Laurie Anderson album he played on
is, I believe, "Bright Red," but I don't remember his contribution as being
especially prominent.

Joey Baron plays on nearly every track on the L. Anderson album "Bright
Red", and Greg Cohen, Masada bassist, not only plays on the album, but is
its musical director as well.

Well, I just thought I'd add a couple of things to the Joey Baron
listening guide.  He had a great trio in the eighties with Italian
pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and Marc Johnson.  They put out two records,
but my favorite is "Deep Down" on Soul Note.  Also the record he did with
Jim Hall and Tom Harrel is a keeper.  It's called "These Rooms."  But,
going way back to 1976 is a great record by Carmen McRae on Blue Note
called "At the Great American Music Hall."  Joey is about 20 years old on
this one, and he plays drumset and congas simultaneously.

Matthew is absolutely right in more accurately pointing out Joey's
participation on "Bright Red," and I also admit that I'd completely
forgotten Greg Cohen's participation.  Thanks for the correction.  I should
watch my choice of wording more carefully.  What I meant to say was that I
didn't think "Bright Red" was really a prominent example of Joey's best
work.  But I also admit to having a real blind spot regarding Laurie's
"song" albums, as opposed to her "monologue" albums.  I'd be glad to hear
other opinions, though...  Does anyone think that I'm missing something
special or important on this album?  I'm perfectly willing to have my bias
reversed... I generally like Laurie!

  I recently got ahold of a promo disk called 'The John Zorn Radio Hour".
To make a long story short, here's what the disk says
   "Here's the real John Zorn, acting as DJ in a specially produced
one-hour radio program- spinning his favorite discs, revealing his
influences, and discussing Naked City."
  I havn't really listened to it yet, but it sounds just like it is
described, with him talking about his youth, and playing some pretty far
out old stuff.  And that's all in the first 15 minutes or so, which is all
I've heard.
  The point of this all being that I am in a generous mood, and would be
willing to spin copies of this for the first 5-10 people who e-mail me.
The only thing that I ask is that you get me a blank tape, and a SASE, so I
can tape it, throw it in the envelope, and zip it back to you.
  BTW if there is anyone with anything to trade (I'm really looking for
live Zorn or Laswell), I'll make you a copy whether you are in the first
5-10 responses or not.  Also, if you live in the chicago area, e-mail me
and we can set something up.  This is kind of a rare disk, from what I've
seen, and would be willing to go out of my way to get copies into the
public ear.
   Also, let's not start up the 'ethics of bootlegs' talk again.  Music is
meant to be shared.
