I loved > Super Roots 1. I too have heard that Super Roots 3 & 5 were kinda... scary. However, Super Roots 6 is a really good album; it has 18 tracks (if I remember correctly) that have a number as name and are mostly instrumental. It has very little in common with Super Roots 1, though: I would say it is more rock-oriented, many tracks being psychedelic guitar riffs. However, there are some 'tribal' tracks, even some fake world music (pygmy chants, etc.) As always with the Boredoms, this is a bit challenging, but if you liked Wow2 you should definitely like it. The artwork is very good, too, and there's even the sleeve for Super Roots 7! BTW, I have the japanese release, is it any different from the american one? And does anybody have any info about the Boredoms signing to Blast First in Europe? Will there be european releases of their albums, new releases ?

A few random thoughts, responses and questions : For those looking for more work by Mr. Ribot I would recommend Evan Lurie's first album "Selling Water by the Shore" (I think thats the title) as well as Sam Phillips wonderful "Omnipop." The Tom Waits / Lounge Lizards & even the Elvis Costello contributions are all excellent as well. And a thumbs up for "Shoe String Symphonies." The new Filmworks IV is great and the new Naked City boxed set decently priced (almost a 2 for 1 at the local shops.) I'm looking forward to finding the new Fred Frith film series disc. Has anyone a good (or bad) word for it? Have y'all heard the Bill Frisell / Elvis Costello live disc? Its an import recorded maybe a couple of years ago and they do maybe six tunes (mostly Elvis C songs) with a quiet guitar and a whispering vocal. Yet another great album. Where do people put all the CDS that seem to proliferate endlessly? Suppose there could be worse problems to debate in life. Phew ~ Chow for now.

Saturnalia began as a recording project of Jonathan LaMaster (violin, guitar, bass and vocals), who assembled such talented players as SST recording artist and founding member of Mission of Burma Roger Miller (guitar), Cul de Sac's (Thirsty Ear/USA and Flying Nun/Europe) Robin Amos (analog synth, theremin) and Michael Knoblach (drums/percussion), Mile Wide's Vic Rawlings on serangi, Zac Scherzad on bass clarinet, sopranino saxophone and dijeradoo, as well as many other fine guests. The sessions were recorded and co-produced by the sonic (sub)genius Bill T. Miller himself at Headroom Studio in Boston. Bill is an overachiever who is not only a great engineer/producer, but a great musician who leads Out of Band Experience (guest heavy, and a psycho-samplefest of serial killers and alien porn stars), Kings of Feedback, and The Orgy Of Noise. He recently recorded 8 songs for Melt-Banana and did 3 BTM remixes for them, as well. (They in turn did some guest appearences with OBE and The Orgy of Noise.) He has also recently done remixes for Plainfield, which features Smelly Mustafah and Trey from Mr. Bungle.

The US release should happen in the next month, but depending on who picks it up for distribution, it may take a while to get out there. The next Ion release will be available long before Caroline starts shipping it. I will post here, and hopefully be able to give some sources for buying it mail order.

Not to my knowledge. DIW is licensing certain things to Koch for release domestically but has not yet taken the final step of actually signing a distribution agreement for imports. And those two discs fell into some kind of black hole during which DIW was NOT licensing anything to Koch, as did David S. Ware's latest release. (I know, this doesn't make much sense.) I just saw the June Koch book and it included two DIW-licensed things, one of which was the new Shannon Jackson album, "Shannon's House." This was the disc released immediately prior to Greg and Dougie's albums. The other was half of a four CD tribute to Monk which came out a few years ago and will be released in two parts. I know there are now plans for both new and old albums to be licensed, but I wouldn't count on Dougie or Greg to be aomng them, unfortunately. I know this sucks, but...

Ok, another question: I heard from Jamie Saft (who's got a delightful new record on Avant that you should all check out) that Avant will soon be getting a reasonably comprehensive U.S. distribution deal with Koch. Is this reasonably correct? And something else that's been bugging me: Is there any connection between DIW and Avant?

Is >this reasonably correct? It started in April with four releases, then there were four more in May and there are four more in June. Mostly back catalog but also Derek Bailey/DJ Ninj, Dim Sum Clip Job, Smarnamisa - Resia Valley Music, and Duck Baker. They'll continue to roll out four old ones per month and presumably scatter some new ones as they become available. I second the notion for Saft/Vu. >And something else that's been bugging me: Is there any connection >between DIW and Avant? I was under the impression that "Way Low" and >"Minor Swing" were on the former while they're actually on the latter, and >vice-versa for a couple other records. Is my befuddlement founded on >anything or am I just hopelessly confused? "Way Low" and "Minor Swing" are both on DIW. There is a connection between DIW and Avant having to do with production and in many cases distribution (although clearly not in the U.S. any more). The difference between DIW and Avant is that Zorn directs Avant, not DIW. I guess there have been cases where Zorn has done things that ended up on DIW (Masada obviously) and there are some things that would seem to be Zorn projects but may not have been (Arcana, which is actually a Laswell project I guess; Marc Ribot's latest, etc). I'm talking a lot but isn't it obvious by now that I really don't have a clue how most of this works? :-) No one knows but Zorn and his cabal of coworkers, the Gnomes of Zurich, none of whom are whispering in my ear late at night anymore (you know who you are)... Now *Patrice* they're still talking to, maybe.

The Dougie Bowne album 'One Way Elevator' is on Avant. It's a trio album with Bowne on drums, John Medeski on piano and Fred Hopkins on bass. It's quite jazzy and very cool. I have an cassette of it that I got a while ago, long before it was released. It's sort of short but well worth it... especially those who want to hear Medeski playing piano. If you get this album and enjoy it then pick up Medeski, Martin & Woods's first album on Accurate called 'Notes From The Underground'. You'll like it. See ya! -Tom Pratt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 23:39:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Christopher Hamilton Subject: Re: DIW distribution On Wed, 7 May 1997, Steve Smith wrote: > domestically but has not yet taken the final step of actually signing a > distribution agreement for imports.

I'm confused. All three of these records (plus the Shannon Jackson record mentioned later in Steve's post) showed up at my local store about a month ago. I thought they were being distributed by Koch. Who is distributing them, then, and why are they so much easier to find in Pittsburgh than in NYC?

Presumably this is a cheesy and potentially very misleading reference to Zorn's "Radical Jewish Culture" slogan and/or his dedication of the Masada records to Asher Ginzberg, founder of Cultural Zionism.

Subject: [none] hey now, my friend Thurston Hunger is producing a Mayhem special this sunday (5-11) on KFJC 89.7 FM exploring John Zorn's Tzadik label. i will be sitting in as a guest, adding tidbits and general banter when appropriate. we will be playing tracks from nearly every release in all of the different series (Composer, Radical Jewish Culture, New Japan, Archival, Lunatic Fringe, Film Music) with some discussion about Zorn and Tzadik, as well as Avant and DIW. the show runs from 11pm to 2am PDT, a funky timeslot i know, but... if you own a VCR, hook it up to your receiver and using the timer record the show while you sleep. (clever, eh?). this show will be part one. part two airs the following sunday (5-18), again from 11pm to 2am. for those of you not within range of the station's broadcast bandwidth, you can listen in on the Whirled Wide Web at www.kfjc.org. hasta. --dk Yes.
