        Well, you'll want to get it eventually, but also you 
        probably won't be miserable that you have to wait. It's 
        not something you need immediately. But when it happens 
        it happens. I'm still not sure if I like it. It's very 
        very clever, and that sometimes turns me off.

        that would make more sense, imo

        I find some Frisell I like fine but other stuff bores me, 
        though I know people who are big fans of his.

        I recently saw a live video a friend had of Masada 
        recorded 11 Dec 1993 with Zorn on horn. It was pretty 
        hot. Lots of good drumming. 
 
 IS> people say boud deun has stravinskian overtones, which i cant hear. 
 
        People say that about lots of bands, Stravinsky this and 
        Bartok that. All it means is that in general people know 
        very little about Stravinsky and Bartok. 
 
 IS> i listened the first hoyry kone album, its phenomenal music, on the 
 IS> king crimson magma axis. 
 
        Yet another reason I am going to have to check this band 
        out. THey are at the top of the list along with the 
        Hungarian band After Crying. Speaking of Hungarian bands 
        you might like Onehalf/Viperflat, which sound sort of 
        like 801 Live mixed with Material, very strong beat, very 
        loud and relentless, nice crunch to the guitars, a little 
        bit of Les Claypool sound on the bass. Not bad. 
 
 IS> i had 4 x-legged sally albums, a belgian band playing

        I'll add this to the list to check out, since it sounds 
        like it's right up my alley. 
 
 IS> mike patton seems to have a new solo album have you listened it? 
 
        Not yet. I haven't even seen it anywhere. Of course, 
        after that last Faith No More album I'm not sure I want 
        to. 
 
 IS> this echo gets slower and slower. you can email me to

        I'll send to both addresses. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
