BUMP.
One of my favourite musicans here..
I own a lot of his releases and I could just contribute in this thread with some fine recomendations, heres 15 albums you MUST check out if you don't know where to begin, based on my personal taste.
1.
The Bribe - This one is both soft and insane. a very experimental album by mr. Zorn. I think this one describes most of his sides in music.
2.
Spillane - one of his most classic albums. Basically a musical masterpiece
3.
Filmworks XIII - some well-written and soft stuff my Zorn here..
4.
Love, Madness & Mysticism - really nice piano and violin. Sometimes smooth and sometimes just flipped out!
5.
O'o - some really nice bossa-nova from "The Dreamers". You just gotta hear this.
6.
Spy vs. Spy - a tribute album to Ornette coleman. Crazy freejazz with two drummers, two saxofonists and a bassplayer..it's the insanity
7.
Locus Solus - really experimental/avant-garde stuff here. Just sounds, done in a such intense way that you just can't stop digging it!
8.
Buried Secrets - some really good stuff by PainKiller here. Doomy grindcore with crazy screaming saxophone.
9.
The Big Gundown - John zorn plays the music of Ennio Morricone. This is one os his most classic albums. Just check it out.
10.
Xu Feng - Heres some of John Zorns gamepieces, wich are more than crazy. Musically, this is his most flipped out avantgarde stuff.
11.
Cobra - while talking about Gamepieces, check this one out aswell. better than Xu Feng.
12.
Execution Ground - another crazy PainKiller session. grind and freejazz is probably the most insane combination ever made. In this album, youll get to hear why.
13.
Naked City - You can't talk about zorn without mentioning Naked City. One of his most known and crazy acts. Actually, I'd put all NC albums on this place. It's probably the most enjoyable thing to listen to, ever.
14.
50th Birthday vol 2 - crazy crazy freejazz with Zorn and Milford Graves. For the people who enjoy his jazzy stuff, but still with the Zorn-atmosphere of insanity.
15.
At The Mountain Of Madness - This is electric masada live in europe. This album is just fucking crazy. One of Zorns absolutely best acts ever! You will not regret listening to this one.
