 IS> i think they have a studio album "full circle" at 94, 
 
        Have you heard this album? Is it any good? 
 
 IS> btw i listened to "No Problem at all" by "Soh Band" it is excellent 
 IS> zeuhl meets John Zorn meets some Zappa 
 
        I recently listened to the Naked City album by Zorn with 
        Bill Friesell on guitar and Fred Frith on bass. Frith can 
        now play bass like a bass player instead of like a 
        guitarist but it's kind of a waste since he's a much 
        better guitarist than Frisell, IMO. Still, it's an 
        interesting album, well played. Perhaps a bit too clever 
        in a New York soho loft kind of way. I'm not sure I like 
        it, though I recognise it's well made. 
 
 IS> kind of mr. bungle but horns are much dominant. 
 
        That sounds really interesting. Soh Band, huh? 
 
 IS> i also listened boud deun about which i only heard positive reviews. 
 IS> they are very weak, boring 
 
        THat's what I'm starting to hear from people, very mixed 
        reviews. 
 
        Then again I expected to hate the last Echolyn album 
        since all of the reviews were bad and I found I enjoyed 
        it. Guess I'll have to check them out for myself. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
