With 2006's MOONCHILD, New York City-based avant-garde composer/saxophonist John Zorn returns to the sort of chaotic, hardcore-influenced pieces that frequently appeared on his 1990s Naked City albums. Though Zorn doesn't perform on the record, he has assembled a top-notch trio of his longtime collaborators--vocalist Mike Patton, bassist Trevor Dunn, and drummer Joey Baron--to tackle these tracks with minimalist precision. Given the group's collective pedigree (Masada, Fantomas, etc.), the musicians are clearly at home on these songs, whether charging into "Hellfire" with manic ferocity or creeping through the eerie "Shadows of Thelema." Fans of the aforementioned artists, particularly Zorn's more aggressive projects, will likely be fascinated by MOONCHILD, an uncompromising and downright sinister recording.

Personnel: John Zorn; Mike Patton (vocals); Trevor Dunn (bass instrument); Joey Baron (drums).

4 stars Disturbing!
This is album to drive your neighbours nuts and the parents in law away...awesome! Moonchild is quite intense and dark album. It is not something that you listen to just for fun. It is demanding, but kinda rewarding stuff. Not as difficult as you could expect from Patton, Zorn & co. But of course you have to be in certain type of mood to enjoy this.

An album literally years in the making, PEEPING TOM is the brainchild of the amazingly prolific and adventurous vocalist Mike Patton, former frontman of the alternative-rock ensemble Faith No More. Following his departure from FNM in the late 1990s, Patton immersed himself in a variety of noise/metal projects including Fantomas and Tomahawk, as well as avant-garde solo outings, tinkering with more accessible pop/rock tunes in his free time. This 11-track disc is the result of those on-and-off sessions, ...

John Zorn's work has always been difficult to categorize and describe, and has only become more so as the musical iconoclast has pushed and developed the boundaries of his compositional ability. 2006's complex, original, and utterly remarkable ASTRONOME is another landmark of innovation for Zorn. Inspired by an unfinished collaboration of the same title by avant-gardists Antonin ...

CD $13.39  5 stars
John Reischman As one of the acoustic music world’s top-ranked mandolin players and composers, veteran artist John Reischman is renowned for his exquisite taste, tone and impeccable musicianship.His mastery of the instrument is showcased today in two primary musical outlets - the powerful bluegrass band John Reischman and the Jaybirds, and his Latin/jazz instrumental duo with highly-regarded acoustic guitar stylist John Miller.The Jaybirds’ second album Field Guide (Corvus/Copper Creek) was nominated for Canada’s highest music award, the Juno, in the Roots and Traditional Group category for 2002.Critics are effusive in their praise of the stellar follow to the band’s debut album John Reischman and the Jaybirds (Corvus/Copper Creek) and John’s 1999 tour-de-force bluegrass instrumental album, Up In the Woods (Corvus). “As usual, the Jaybirds’ musicianship is first-rate throughout this CD, one of the best Field Guides to bluegrass and old-time music you’ll find anywhere,” enthused Canada’s folk/roots magazine Penguin Eggs.The Vancouver Province newspaper termed Field Guide a “seamless” effort in a rare 4-1/2- star review; the Vancouver Sun said John “plays the mandolin like nobody’s business” in a 4-star review noting “the musicianship is first-class throughout; there isn’t a weak track on the entire record.” His dazzling choro-flavoured instrumental work with John Miller, culminating in their second album The Bumpy Road (Corvus) in 2002 also draws much praise from fans and music critics alike.“Mandolinist Reischman, in particular, possesses phenomenal tone . . . guitarist Miller matches him note for note with slippery leads and sophisticated chords on his Martin,” Vancouver’s Georgia Straight magazine said of the duo’s debut album The Singing Moon (Corvus).Born in Ukiah, California in 1955, John first played guitar at age 12, exploring fingerpicking and blues styles before discovering the mandolin at age 17. Drawing inspiration from the playing of bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe and new acoustic mandolin pioneers Frank Wakefield, Sam Bush, Andy Statman and David Grisman, John was also influenced by his exposure to the hot swing of guitarist Django Reinhardt and jazz mandolin of pioneers Jethro Burns and Tiny Moore.John’s synthesis of this wide range of genres was honed over more than two decades of performing beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s.As an original member of the legendary Tony Rice Unit, John helped to define the “new acoustic” instrumental scene in the early 1980s with appearances on the band’s groundbreaking Rounder albums Still Inside and Backwaters.He cemented his reputation touring and recording for many years with ...
