FredFrith plays a variety of guitars – and Chris Cutler plays both drums and "noise"! (Jazz, Out Sound)LP, Vinyl record album
(In a clear plastic sleeve, with screened cover, including the insert. NOTE – the bottom inch or so of the cover & insert has staining, wear, and peeling – from moisture.)
One of our favorite mixing of modes from the old school – a tremendous second album from the legendary Aksak Maboul! The record mixes arty playfulness with some rootsier elements – bits of Eastern instrumentation, jazz, improvisation, and even some post-punk elements – all in a way that makes for one of the most creative recordings of its time – a set that easily provides key inspiration for more recent genre-crossing acts like this! There's a bit of Y or Ze Records whimsy at times – but the end result is much deeper, and much more compelling– as you'd expect from a group that features FredFrith on guitar, Chris Cutler on drums, Marc Hollander and Michel Berkmans on reeds, and Denis Van Hecke on a range of cool cellos! Each tune has a slightly different flavor, but there's still a really unified feel to the record too – one of those European projects that comes together like nothing you'd hear from the US. Titles include "Geistige Nacht", "A Modern Lesson", "Palmiers En Pots", "Inoculating Rabies", "Cinema", and "Bosses De Crosses". (Rock, Out Sound)CD
With selections by Half Japanese, FredFrith, Shaved Pigs, Artless, Bongwater, No Safety, The Spongehead Experience, Allen Ginsberg and Steve Taylor, and others. (Rock, Out Sound)LP, Vinyl record album
(US pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, sticker remnants, and bent corners.)
The first, and arguably the best, of John Zorn's Naked City albums. The sound is extremely intense, and represents a blinding blend of influences, most of which Zorn had been showcasing in more easy going settings on previous albums. The core group includes Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, FredFrith, and Joey Baron – plus a guest appearance by Yamatsuka Eye. Hard to find on vinyl, and with the titles "Demon Sanctuary", "Speedball", "James Bond Theme", "Ingenous Ejaculation", "I Want To Live", and "Latin Quarter". (Jazz, Out Sound)CD
