Any Zorn fans?


Curious how the great composer/improvisor John Zorn fares with audiogoners. My favorites of his are the avant/experimental pieces such as Duras, Elegy, IAO, Songs from the hermetic theatre, and Redbird.

Having said that, I would check out the following albums: The Crucible, Electric Masada, The Mirror of Maya Deren, Taboo and exile.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Painkiller! Get the one with Hamid Drake on drums.
