 Best of the best!

| Put Simply, this is the best Painkiller album there is. Fantastic! Fierce Bass, Hard-core Sax-chops, Furious Drumming - all to the delight of the ear. Free Rock, maybe? Emotional tunes that go places. Enjoy! |

 Intriguing, but not the best Zorn offering

| I bought this disc because I have and love other John Zorn projects (Naked City, Masada), and I knew of Bill Laswell through his production work and great band Material. I find Execution Ground to be full of interesting textures, bizarre rhythms, and insane drumming - plus plenty of shrieking sax, as one would expect. Although it's certainly intriguing, it falls short of Zorn's other projects for me. The long compositions seem directionless and the endless reverb and delays are a little hokey. I do like the second disc a little better, because the static feel naturally lends itself to the ambient mode, but overall I'd rather listen to Naked City or Material than Painkiller. |

One of my all-time favorites.

| This is music unlike anything i've heard (besides other Zorn stuff). The moment I put it in my CD player I am trapped, unable to tear myself away, or even divert my attention elsewhere. Especially the first three tracks. There's always something interesting going on. All three musicians deliver superb performances. Zorn doing his "torture victim" style of saxophone playing, and even more normal jazzy playing, to my favorite, that creepy microtonal phase that sounds like several torture victims. Harris manages to straddle these lengthy improvisations without just repeating a drum pattern over and over, he always varies the groundwork in interesting and occasionally attention-grabbing ways. And Laswell he seems to prefer to stay in the background most of the time, letting his simple bass lines create the perfect atmosphere for everyone else. I think the ambient disc works more on a subconscious level, so I try to do something else while it plays, and it certainly creates a different kind of ambience, not harsh noise, but not dreamy new-age stuff. If you can find it I highly suggest picking it up ... NOW! |
