Any Zorn fans?


Curious how the great composer/improvisor John Zorn fares with audiogoners. My favorites of his are the avant/experimental pieces such as Duras, Elegy, IAO, Songs from the hermetic theatre, and Redbird.

Was just listening to the Naked City this weekend. I believe that their first album is the only one that is still in print. I would love some other suggestions on his material.
Mike: Zorn is is so eclectic that it is impossible to recommend anything based on taste, because my taste might not be your thing. I prefer his most radical avant gardism, like the titles I listed above. I like found object sounds, 'non-musical instrument' sounds, and things that break with traditional harmonic/rhythmic structures. I

Having said that, I would check out the following albums: The Crucible, Electric Masada, The Mirror of Maya Deren, Taboo and exile.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Painkiller! Get the one with Hamid Drake on drums.
Very much a fan. Faves are probably the 2cd Bar Kohkba/Masada sextet, The Big Gundown and Naked City's Radio. I don't think the other Naked City albums are out of print, most of it isn't on Tzadik though.
