 $16.59  | | Otomo Yoshihide Otomo: Cathode CD (1999)
Biber: Mystery Sonatas
$13.39
With 1999's Cathode, Otomo Yoshihide presents a mix of his experimental material. On the opening and closing tracks, "Modulation #2" and "Modulation #1" respectively, he makes full use of sine waves alongside the sounds of the sho, a traditional Japanese instrument. It should be noted that while some listeners find sine waves refreshing and mind-expanding, as they penetrate areas of your mind that sound does not normally hit so directly, other listeners -- specifically, those with tinnitus or other sensitivity to high-pitched sounds -- will find these frequencies unbearable. In contrast, "Cathode #1" presents an improvising ensemble of samplers and electronics, and traditional instruments, from cello to shamisen. The following cut, "Cathode #2" finds Yoshihide working solo, sampling on a hard disk recorder. Yoshihide continues to explore sound experimentation with this release, never looking back to past projects such as Ground Zero. ~ Joslyn Layne

| | Ambarchi & Avenaim Alter Rebbe's Nigun CD (1999)
Biber: Mystery Sonatas
$13.99
A translation of The Alter Rebbe's Nigun into the modern (future) music of a post-punk world, this album is an intriguing sound representation of each of the four worlds, or levels, of creation as outlined in the Jewish religious text, Tanya (the written law of Chabad Hasidic teaching). Niginah are Hasidic melodies traditionally composed by Jewish spiritual leaders for Sabbath and holidays. The music of this album is based around the concept of the magnum opus of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (the Alter Rebbe), his "nigun of four movements," or "the Alter Rebbe's Nigun." Former Orthodox Hasidic students of the Tanya, Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim -- also of the Australian punk group Phlegm -- give a sonic recreation that is by no means traditional, but through its irreverence, manages to capture something: a mystical listening journey through realms and different layers. This is effective for ears that've been worked over, musically; for the more irreverent and hardcore ears.
The album begins as guitars play like a music box slowly cranked backward, then break out loose and hard-strummed, with slamming drums alongside. Growing increasingly fast and chaotic, the music reaches frenzy. This is the physical realm of "Action." Moving backward through the order of levels is "Formation," which, according to Ambarchi and Avenaim's sonic vision, is cave mists, echoes, horn calls, and bellows across mountains. It is stretched out, hanging air, with hints of backward-recorded fragments. Moving even further away from our physical realm, the "other" nature of the "Creation" realm comes across through drones, bowed cymbal squeaks, and horn choruses akin to unfrenetic Jajoukan music, all colored by drum rolls with occasional tinted shades of cymbal accents. Into the core, "Emanation" has a terrifying one-mindedness. It is endless space of a backward track of guitar swells, wiped out into all directions' distance, at the core of which is the overlapping layers of unswerving Rab
| | John Zorn Masada: Live In Taipei CDs (1999)
Biber: Mystery Sonatas
$19.15 
Masada Live in Taipei quickly got flak amongst Zorn fans for its sound quality, suffering in comparison to the simultaneously released Masada Live in Jerusalem. And granted, it doesn't have the best sound -- the bass is muddy, and the venue's ringing acoustics nearly swallow the trumpet and bass at points -- but it's no field recording either! More importantly, the quartet is on fire during these shows, delivering inspired versions from the Masada songbook. On the set list are compositions originally heard on Masada volumes 5-7, and a few tunes -- such as "Lachish," "Hadasha," and "Ziphim" -- that are also heard on the Jerusalem performance. Some of the highlights include the explosive, powerhouse version of "Shilhim," the seductive take on "Idalah-Abal," and the stunning, breakneck soloing heard during "Debir" and "Ziphim." With so many exceptional recordings available of the Masada quartet, this one may be considered less necessary, but it's still necessary for most fans because of the exceptional interplay between Zorn, Dave Douglas, Greg Cohen, and Joey Baron. ~ Joslyn Layne
Masada: John Zorn (alto saxophone); David Douglas (trumpet); Greg Cohen (bass); Joey Baron (drums).

| | Inti-Illimani Andadas CD (1992)
Biber: Mystery Sonatas
$13.69
The very fact that Inti-Illimani were able to record Andadas in Santiago, Chile, is encouraging. When the Augusto Pinochet regime was executing numerous people in the 1970s, the exiled members of Inti-Illimani would have been risking their lives by even setting foot anywhere in Chile. Andadas is indeed the work of a very distinctive band. When soulful offerings like "Cueca de la Ausencia," "Angelo," and "Tata San Juan" are playing, one is reminded just how recognizable Inti-Illimani's music is. Both the music of South American Indians (Chilean as well as Peruvian and Bolivian) and the Spanish have had a major impact on the outfit's enriching sound. South American and Afro-Cuban elements are a potent mixture on "Mulata," while the ballad "Ella" (a real tear-jerker) looks to Mexican mariachi music for inspiration. Included in the CD booklet are English-language translations of Inti's lyrics. ~ Alex Henderson
