Collected Works

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Simon & Garfunkel recorded only five albums of studio material during their reign in the 1960s. Pop perfectionists, increasingly they sculpted records with extensive arrangements that made songs like "The Boxer," "The Dangling Conversation," and "America" more than mere pop songs, but compositions submerged in the delicacy of the art song. This collection is everything from those five albums, from the earnest early folk to the folk-rock that spawned their initial success ("The Sound of Silence") to the layered, methodical approach of their complex later work ("Bridge over Troubled Water"). The duo recorded music among the most successful of its era. No extra tracks were included. --Rob O'Connor

4 out of 5 stars Great songs and singers.......2007-05-12

The Roach sisters' style, words, and tunes blend to produce songs that go directly to my heart and then to my mind. A great compilation of their music.

5 out of 5 stars a fitting compilation.......2006-08-31

The Roches are ultra talented, excellent musicians, stunning vocalists, wonderful songwriters and a very interesting and rich band. However, they are probably not for everyone. Do not evaluate them by 30 second samples on this web site b/c their songs have drama and substance and they need to develop over their proper timespan.

This is whimsical folk, beautiful melodies and heartfelt harmonies. This is nothing to rock out to although the musicianship is on par with anything that is out there.

The Roches are for people that enjoy beauty.

"Love Radiates" could melt the coldest heart. It is such a terrific and beautiful melody.

I saw them live (circa 1995) and they were tremedous. The vocals and musicianship are not the results of studio tricks. Their "Hallelujua chorus" is the equivalent to listening to Hendrix. It was a sight to be seen.

As you can see, I love the Roches. This is an excellent representative of their best songs. The 3 part harmonies, raw accoustic guitar, Robert Fripp infused guitar, its all there. This is the cream of their work.

If you go to their website, their participation in music is so earnest. If you want an autographed glossy of them, just e-mail and ask and you shall receive.

I wish they were still together and wish they toured outside of the northeast.

The Roches have always been the critics darlings and they absolutely deserved their praise!

Their best works are the Robert Fripp produced works, "The Roches and "Keep on Doing".

4 out of 5 stars Buy it...even if only for their version of the Halleluiah Chorus!.......2006-06-03

I first heard the Roches on Saturday Night Live in the 70's doing the Halleluiah Chorus. I was a little boy then, but it implanted itself in my memory forever. Now, as a 33 year old Daddy and Husband, I find that the vocal harmonies and unique nuances of their well blended voices still brings a chill down my spine. Excellent! Even if you only buy it for this one track, it will be well worth your money!

5 out of 5 stars A Fan.......2006-03-24

I was delighted to see that the Roaches produced a collection of their best. Wish they would tour more.


5 out of 5 stars The Sisters Shine.......2005-12-05

Although it's impossible to include all the gems of the Roches' music in one collection, this is a fine example of one of the greatest sister singing acts I know. Their harmonies soar, the lyrics bend around the phrasing, and they are at once mischievous and poignant. While there is no comparison to a live experience, these highlights give a flavor of what this unique group is all about. Who else can pass off a hip a capella version of the "Hallelujah Chorus" and have an audience spellbound? (They even did this on the original 'Saturday Night Live') While a bit biased as I was in school with one of the sisters, I think their work stands on its own merit. I am happily seeing them again in concert next weekend and look forward to the richness of their music. If you ever get the chance to see them, don't pass up the opportunity. At the least, buy their albums and get ready for a real treat.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Simon & Garfunkel recorded only five albums of studio material during their reign in the 1960s. Pop perfectionists, increasingly they sculpted records with extensive arrangements that made songs like "The Boxer," "The Dangling Conversation," and "America" more than mere pop songs, but compositions submerged in the delicacy of the art song. This collection is everything from those five albums, from the earnest early folk to the folk-rock that spawned their initial success ("The Sound of Silence") to the layered, methodical approach of their complex later work ("Bridge over Troubled Water"). The duo recorded music among the most successful of its era. No extra tracks were included. --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars Picking out my top 5..........2007-07-03

What can I really say about this collection? I grew up on this music. I loved it as a small child and have only grown to love it more, as years go by. My love for Simon and Garfunkel is kind of like the love I have for my 60 year old Coach bag. Yep, you guessed it, the word is TIMELESS.

My one criticism about the recording quality within this set, is that the volume travels considerably from song to song, meaning that sometimes you have to turn up the volume to hear well, other times it is WAY TOO LOUD. I think that the song to song volume could have been regulated better.

I've lost my harmonica, Albert!

5 out of 5 stars America's Soundtrack.......2007-05-17

So many memories with the listening to of these songs. Hard to name a favorite, but standouts for me have always been (Scarborough Fair, April Come She Will, El Condor Pasa(If I Could), Bookends Theme, The Sounds Of Silence, At The Zoo, The Boxer) to name but a small few. All five original albums, from 1964 to 1970 in one. A real musical bargain.

3 out of 5 stars You May Not Need This.......2005-12-28

It sure is a lovefest here with all the 5 star reviews. And the fact that I'm giving this just 3 stars will be blasphemous to many who read this. Have you ever noticed how most of the 5 star reviews are by the hardcore fans, written for other hardcore fans who already own all this. But I press on: Why do you think that Simon And Garfunkel's original Greatest Hits LP is one of the best (and best selling) greatest hits albums? And why do you think, in the cd age, that their record company has released a bunch of other "Best Of" compilations? I mean do you really need a 2 cd best-of compilation when you can buy their whole output on 3 cd's? The truthful answer to these questions is that their best songs are amazing and timeless, BUT many of their other songs are mediocre and dated. My experience with S&G is as follows. I absolutely love the Greatest Hits cd, to the point where I wanted more so I bought an expanded best of cd. I also really liked that, although some of the new (to me) songs were not as good. Then I bought this 3 cd set of their whole output and was largely disappointed. Yes, there were a few new songs that I really liked, but also quite a lot of things that are not that good. They are 35 years old and don't hold up to their best work. Amidst all the unequivocal endorsements I offer a little advice. If you are not a huge fan you probably don't need all this,and worse, won't like it.

5 out of 5 stars YES--This is what I Like to See on a Compilation.......2003-01-31

Are you a big S&G fan? I know I am...an hugely avid one in fact. Well then my advice to you is NOT to buy some silly compilation with only the big hits and a few "unreleased extras " *cough-oldfriendsboxset-cough*. This is a great resource, a good solid 3-disc set with ALL FIVE complete S&G albums. Think of it as a CONSOLIDATION of all three in a more affordable format. (It's also great if you have all their albums on your old LPs and you want to switch over to CD but not break the proverbial bank.) Obviously, this set contains all the hits, as well as all the album tunes, many of which are dazzlingly unappreciated. The best part of this set is that it includes the least-known album "Wednesday Morning 3AM," which is a beautifully simple, accoustic, and earnest album. (Without being painfully earnest--it's great music too!) SO, if you're looking for the definitve S&G resource, start here with this set of ALL the ALBUMS. Maybe later someone will give you some "unreleased stuff" for your birthday or something if you really pine for it.

5 out of 5 stars Best collection of S & G ever!.......2002-02-11

I listen to these CDs more than enything else I own. After September 11th, I craved the mellow sounds that only they can provide.

5 out of 5 stars Too Much Fun!!!.......2007-05-13

Who'd'a thunk that an Albany-based bar/party band with a wicked sense of humor and identical stage surnames (take THAT, Ramones) would become critical and cult legends? Ever since I heard that rolling drumbeat intro and goofy Beach Boys-influenced harmonic sentiment of "I Wanna Be a Lifeguard" leading off their first EP, Hello. My Name Is Blotto. What's Yours?, I was hooked.

Playing in pure party fashion but throwing in bitingly satirical lyrics on subjects ranging from heavy metal fandom ("Metal Head," which featured Blue Oyster Cult's Buck Dharma on screamin' guitar) to cheesy lounge acts ([We Are] The Nowtones"..."We say 'thank you' at the end of every song"), groupies ("Occupational Hazard") and dumb bosses (the liberating "I Quit") to unattainable women in advertisements (the raggae-fied "Gimme the Girl"), Blotto never failed to raise a smile if not an outright laugh.

"Lifeguard" is still the star of the show here (it's a persoanl summer anthem, and centerpiece of many a surf-themed mixtape) -- heck, it appears in three different versions! But the cleverest, most blackly humorous tune in the collection -- perhaps of the '80s -- is "My Baby's the Star of a Driver's Ed Movie." Done in pure early '60s death-pop style, it relates the tale of man attending remedial driving classes after receiving a DWI. While seeing a film about highway crashes, he recognizes a scene in which his own late girlfriend's demise was documented! He remains philosophical, though, noting that the poor young lass's mom "would be proud -- her underwear was clean."

The remaining tracks show the Blots' at their rockin' best on their original compositions -- the weakest track is probably the sole cover, a take on "Stop! In the Name of Love," taken from their debut EP and original lineup featuring a female singer.

This release compiles their entire studio output -- a mere LP, two 12" EPs and a 45 B-side (appropriately titled "The B Side") -- with a couple of previously unreleased goodies. All you'll ever need from Blotto is here -- if you're feeling adventurous afterward, don't miss their Then More Than Ever live CD, and seek out their long-out-of-print VHS "Video 45" from Sony.

4 out of 5 stars I can't help myself, I must hear "Lifeguard' periodically.......2006-09-02

Look, this band was a novelty act. They are a relic from [I think] Long Island. They had talent, made some catchy songs, had a nice sense of humor, but if you are here it is b/c of "I...I...I..Wanna be a Lifeguard" It is a great song. It is worth to get this cd just for the song which appears THREE times!

There's the studio version...great

There's the Karoke version...makes sense cause I want to sing along, without the intrusion of the singer!

Then theres the live version...Ooooh this is good. They start out singing "Funky Broadway" which, after some credible moments turns into "LIFEGUARD" YEEEAAAAAHHHH!

The rest of the cd...whatever...lets just hear "Lifeguard" again!

5 out of 5 stars I've Been Singing "I Want to Be a Lifeguard" to My 6-Year Old and Then I Hear It on XM.......2006-03-10

It's been on my mind lately and I started singing it to my kid who loves it. Regrettably, I don't own the Collected Works, but after hearing them on XM today (hadn't heard them since the 80s), I am considering it. Serendipitous indeed.

4 out of 5 stars Pure Party and Amusement!.......2005-09-12

A great party-band with a hilarious sense of humor. I am so glad I have "I Wanna be a Lifeguard", "Goodbye, Mr. Bond", "Metal Head", "My Baby's the Star of a Driver's Ed Movie", and "It's Not You" on CD. These are some of the most amusing songs I've ever heard.

5 out of 5 stars Blotto on CD - Yow!.......2005-08-17

I was in college in upstate NY late 70's and early 80's, I remember seeing Blotto live at JB Scott's in Albany and at numerous gigs at school and around the Albany area. I was hooked from the first show, and still have the first EPs. Their shows were enjoyed by rockers and punkers alike.

A classic FUN band with great originals -"My Baby's The Star of a Driver's Ed Movie" was always a favorite for twisted, irreverent lyrics. Great musical talent with too much of a sense of humor to ever make it commercially. Their cover of "Secret Agent Man" is way better than the original.

If you remember Blotto or are a fan of music from the era, get the album. If you were born after 1980, you probably won't comprehend why Blotto was ever popular.

There are 6 tracks that save the cd's from being drink coasters:"Lover's promise","My sky at twilight","Ferry","Breeze from Saintes Maries","Simpatico" and "Fingerdance".The rest of the works are bland and bear no repeated listening.One cd would have been more than sufficient considering the lack of great material.Prepare to do a lot of skipping around on these disks. P.S. Get this set only if you happen across it used.

3 out of 5 stars A lot of strings...but not so much music.......1998-11-02

For me it was a surprise that a label as Narada couldn't issue a better guitar sampler than this, considering all the good material that they have. Probably, they privilege a "Good Seller Sampler", as a "young person guide to Narada Guitarists", than a sampler for their fans. Sorry about that, but for me the only tracks that worth it are "Ferry" (Randy Ross), "November Winds" (Friedemann) and "Finger dance" (B. Mclaughlin). E.R.

    5 out of 5 stars A Little Known Masterpiece.......2003-01-03

    In the vast ocean of ambient music, Michael Stearns has been left out to sea. Having been eclipsed in the public mind by high-profile artists like Brian Eno, Stearn's back catalog has been reduced to two LPs, consisting of disjointed snippets of much longer pieces. I've always been surprised that Stearns hasn't been more revered after scoring such films as Baraka. Having been confined to the New Age shelves probably hasn't helped, but above all, Stearns doesn't seem to try and come up with an artists image like so many young, hip, ambient artists. Stearns is above all an earth-hugging hippie, and his music is all the more powerful and sincere because of it.
    Ambient and Textural works consists of most airy, floating synthezisers, bells, eerie and beautiful female vocals, and field recordings. Stearn's big strength on this album is his ability to create not simply experimental pieces, but to create emotionally potent and beautiful pieces, without resorting to any of the luke-warm New Age flourishes that many of his contemporaries did. The nine-minute tape, vocal, and bell piece "Jewel" is worth the purchase price, and listeners would be hard-pressed to hear anything that didn't exite them. Anyone looking for organic, sincere, and ascendent ambient music would regret not buying this album.

    4 out of 5 stars An excellent album from a veteran of ambient music..........2000-09-07

    Michael Stearns played a major role in the beginning of the style known as Ambient Music. Even if he is shadowed by masters like Brian Eno and Steve Roach, the extreme quality of this album shows how this artist has been forgotten by the critics and the historians! Because of its beautiful and calm melodies, this album should be very accessible for someone new to this style as well as being a good intro for a amateur wishing to discover the early compositions of Stearns.

    4 out of 5 stars Ambient music in its childhood.......1998-06-15

    This retrospective disc shows the promise of ambient music, along the lines of Brian Eno and early Tangerine Dream. Uneven but compelling, the artist Michael Stearns later works eclipse these rough sketches. A must if already a fan, but try Kronos or The Lost World first if uninitiated.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful retrospective of truly original ambiant music.......1998-06-13

    This CD has some of the very best ambiant music ever recorded. It covers all sorts of moods and textures without degenerating into "drums and rattles" or horrible dissonance.

    The only disappointment is to realize just how many of Michael's works are now out of print....

    Album Description

    "Outside of Derek Bailey and John Fahey, I've never heard such purity in guitar playing." - Jim O'Rourke

    "[Connors] is an American original in much the same sense as John Fahey or Jandek, in that he's chosen a classically American form, in this case the blues, and in true pioneer spirit, taken it off somewhere else." - THE WIRE

    "One of my generation's finest and most fervently iconoclast musical voices." - Byron Coley

    The essential collection of singles by guitarist Loren (nee MazzaCane) Connors, one of America's most unique and challenging voices. Night Through spans four decades of Connors' recordings, from the first solo 7" (Ribbon o' Blues on St. Joan) and critically acclaimed, rare singles issued by Table of the Elements, Road Cone, Father Yod, Menlo Park, Gyttja, and Union Pole to his late nineties band Haunted House and recent acoustic recordings. In all, this 3XCD set contains three and half hours of music: twelve 7" singles, private CD-R releases, collaborations with Suzanne Langille and Robert Crotty, compilation appearances, and twenty-two unreleased pieces including a two-part tribute to Miles Davis and a 1959 recording by Connors' mother Mary Mazzacane. The twenty-four-page color booklet contains detailed notes and cover art for each single, plus never-before-seen photographs, a biographical and critical essay by renowned blues scholar Dr. William Ferris, and commentary from Connors, Langille, Road Cone's Mike Hinds, and more. Remastered from the original tapes by Jim O'Rourke, this is the definitive overview of Connors' journey as a consummate solo artist.

    5 out of 5 stars A great starter............2006-06-14

    Man! Three full disc of great sounds from Loren Connors!

    This is a nice place to start for the beginner,because this set has many examples of this "venusian blues" guitarists craft.

    There are his lilting ,fragile pieces,and some of his more trditional sounds too (a few are even a bit loud). Occasional vocals are here too,...some by Susan,Loren's wife(in his Haunted House version of his vision).

    I was so used to his album releases that seem to average only 30-some minutes playing time each,that when I started to listen here I found I was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer size of this portion of Mr. Connors' music found here. But it's all of high quality,and most of it is dreamy,floating ,forelorn blues-y stuff.

    Well worth the price,and (like I said before) a fine starter kit as an intorduction to this sigular artist's sound. This could be the one Loren MazzaCane Connors CD set you need in your collection,or the beginning of an obsession with his music.

    Give it a try and see for yourself.

    5 out of 5 stars mastery!.......2006-09-04

    Painkiller is John Zorn (saxophone, vocals), Bill Laswell (bass) and Mick Harris (drums, vocals). Without the name, the makeup of the trio sounds more like the recipe for a lounge act, any place the smoke will be thick and people are going to hum along to "Misty," no matter how many times they've already heard it.

    Throw in the band's name, though, and you have improvisational thrash tinged with ambient grooves and a boatload of primal screaming, not to mention the occasional lick of dub reggae. The music is full and deep and will toss you around in a matter of seconds (as is the case with "Handjob," "Purgatory of Fiery Vulvas" and "Trailmarker," which altogether total not even a minute's worth of music) or quell you with twenty minutes of oceanic groove (as in "Pashupatinath (Ambient)"). Sometimes, Painkiller gives you both in the same song.

    Known in their time mostly through those in the know up in New York City (and by some very lucky crowds in Japan), Painkiller was a three-year effort that started in 1991. They released four recordings: the EPs Guts of a Virgin and Buried Secrets, the two-album Execution Ground and a live recording from Osaka, which graced only select stores in Japan. In continual reverence to John Zorn, their executive producer, the Tzadik label has released all four recordings and a bonus track in a four-disc package amply titled Painkiller: the Complete Studio Recordings 1991-1994 (Tzadik has been rereleasing many of John Zorn's older works, from his first recordings of 1973 to his film scores and a previously unavailable--in America, at least--recording from his band Naked City).

    Painkiller was a creation of three icons of underground music. Mick Harris was the original whirlwind of percussion behind Napalm Death; John Zorn has been blowing saxophone (and bird whistles and kazoos and pots and pans and vacuum cleaner hoses...) in New York City since the 1970's; and Bill Laswell is the master ear behind such bands as Praxis (featuring Funkadelic veterans Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell) and Material (featuring everyone in the world at some point of the band's continued reincarnations, including Whitney Houston). The idea was to see if improvisation could make a crowd mosh (and mosh they did). Perhaps another idea was to explore the sounds of a band without lead guitar, a must to your typical rockers.

    Each member of the trio brought to the table his own talent and extraordinary magic. Mick Harris brought the sheer power a drum kit could offer, the reality that there could be but one man, a mere pair of arms and feet, behind an insane flurry of percussive attacks and cymbal crashings. Also, he brought that primal wail that sent the early recordings of Napalm Death (the days of thirty-minute albums graced by forty or more songs) to their psychomaniac height. John Zorn brought the virtuosity of saxophone--the ability to make the most extraordinary range of sounds, from wails and squeals to the kind of breathy riffs film noire ran their credits in front of. He brought the ability of quick-change, the precision of switching from a steady, droning groove to high pitch mayhem in the space of a breath (more often switching tempos in the same breath, having been inspired by Carl Stalling and his scores to Warner Brothers cartoons). John Zorn also brought the ability to play along to anything. Soul, ska, bebop, hip-hop, Beach Boys or Dead Boys, Zorn could find a way to slip in some saxophone and never let it sound out of place.

    The real crux of this band, though, was Bill Laswell. Only he could round out the efforts of this spectrum of influence. His name has held the producer's spot on albums from the Ramones and Mephiskapholes to the Japanese drumming band Kodo and jazz great Pharaoh Sanders. A Bill Laswell production distinguishes itself not for sounding like every other Bill Laswell production (like, for instance, the efforts of Bob Rock or the David Bowie influence on Iggy Pop) but for not sounding like any other Bill Laswell production. John Zorn often holds the spotlight in Painkiller with his high trills and lung-bursting blasts, and Mick Harris may mesmerize with his drum rolls that make Alex van Halen's beats as tedious as a pair of shrunken old dams operating a crusty red Bonneville, but it's Laswell that maintains Painkiller through its plethora of sounds. No matter if it's the unremitting noise of "Damage to the Mask" or the sine wave of crescendo and liquid slide in "Parish of Tama," Bill Laswell drives the atmosphere with a steady foundation of bass--nothing too fancy, but always just right.

    In all, the Painkiller complete recordings will give you a full range of experience, offerings selections for all tastes--a lot of the short, hard material lies in wait on one disc, while the more ambient tracks sit on another, a considerate allowance for those whose moods may shift in trying to decide what to listen to. The dynamic of having all three performers keeps things from completely giving themselves over to, say, the purist speed-dementia of Mick Harris or the disparate noise that can too often grace a lot of John Zorn's solitary efforts. We never even sink fully to the depths of Bill Laswell's thalassic ambient whalesong, the likes of which can be found on the Subharmonic label with such notaries as Jah Wobble and the California mutant guitarist Buckethead, the kind of ambient that would make Brian Eno look like a speed freak. Just as any one sound seems to be taking over, it is instantly thwarted by another in a very refreshing way. The mega-quick, three-second "Trailmarker" is rounded out right afterward by the bass-heavy "Blackhole Dub."

    But the real gems by far are found in selections from Execution Ground. Rather than hit us with several songs, each sporting its own musical style, as in the Guts of a Virgin and Buried Secrets EPs, Execution Ground offers fourteen to sixteen minute assaults that take us through every mood of the ensemble. Zorn's peals on the sax meld slowly into a cascade of screams by Mick Harris, moving then so slowly into the subconscious (and subaural) thumps of Bill Laswell, and we come to an end strangely pacifying and complete. This was indeed the height of their artform, and their live disc reinforces that: the audience sounds both mesmerized and enraged. Slowly, oh so slowly, we have been breaking down the categories of music and find it harder and harder to call one thing 'rock' while we call another thing 'alternative' or 'pop.' Painkiller offers us music that transcends all--slow and fast, hard and soft, Painkiller offers up music worth a serious listen.

    4 out of 5 stars Hmmm....not bad.......2006-03-09

    Now this is not a completely satisfying box set. Do not get me wrong there is some really great stuff on here. the mix of heavy metal and jazz is well done. I preferred Naked City however but even that concept wore thin after a few records. Here it is abit of the same. Ok the players are exceptional and there are some gems but...

    4 out of 5 stars Grindcore, dub and everything in between........2005-11-18

    In the late '80s, John Zorn developed a fascination with hardcore death metal and grindcore. Adding bands like Napalm Death to his endless list of influences. Zorn at some point met Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris, and the two discussed collaborating. The net result of this was Painkiller, with the addition of bassist Bill Laswell.

    Describing Painkiller is a bit difficult-- Zorn and Harris' overt grindcore sound blends remarkably well with dub bass courtesy of Laswell-- the band recorded three albums-- "Guts of a Virgin" and "Buried Secrets" and "Execution Ground". All of these along with an ambient remix of "Execution Ground" and a live show are gathered into this boxed set, "Collected Works".

    "Guts of a Virgin" and "Buried Secrets" (making up the first disc) follow pretty much the same formula-- the band rails away, loud, heavy, and propolsive-- Laswell finds oddball grooves, Harris pounds relentlessly, and Zorn screeches over the top. The music is exciting, powerful and engaging, but you really have to be in the right frame of mind to hear it because it is relentless in its approach. Sometimes it excels enormously (opener "Scud Attack", frantic "Guts of a Virgin" and "Skinned" or Zorn explosion "Hostage"), sometimes it gets a bit more experimental which is intriguing, particularly on "Buried Secrets"-- tracks like "Blackhole Dub" and "Black Chamber" find Laswell pushing the grooves in somewhat different directions. Guest performances by Justin Broadrick and G.G. Green (both of Godflesh) on a pair of tracks help provide some more intrigue to those pieces-- "Buried Secrets" is a guitar effects workout and "The Toll" is morbid and bleak (and fantastic). The final cut on the disc, "Marianne", is from an album by vocalist Makigami Koichi. The band with Koichi on vocal and Haino Keiji on guitar, follows much the same formula, also in Keiji, Zorn has a guitarist willing to match his screeches and it makes for an intriguing pairing. Add to this Koichi's much more patient and relaxed vocal delivery, and certainly the cut is one of the most unique on the record.

    "Execution Ground" paints a drastically different picture-- the same fierce improvs and explosive performances are present, but rather than brief tracks, it sounds as if Laswell mixed several pieces together with some ambient tape to form more coherent and extended statements. The results-- the music is a bit more laid back (a bit mind you, it's not exactly calm and patient), a more overt dub sound comes out, and it's much more produced and arranged-- effects processing, instruments fading in and out, volume swells, and so on. While it makes for a more coherent statement, it does lack that frantic energy that the earlier records had. The music is really quite unlike anything else and needs to be heard to make sense, "Pashupatinath" is the standout, encompassing an almost Naked City-like variance in sounds and themes, with Zorn adding a West coast jazz sensibility to the dub and grindcore sounds. If production made "Execution Ground" unique, then it stands to follow that ambient remixes would only continue that trend. What results is something totally unexpected-- "Execution Ground" is reduced virtually to samples for Laswell, who by and large creates a music that is bleak and haunting, using ambient sound, noise, and staggered instrumental presence to build a sense of foreboding. It's highly enjoyable, albeit not what you'll be looking for if you were expecting a grindcore workout.

    The final disc, "Live in Osaka", is to my mind the gem of the set-- like many Zorn projects, Painkiller shines live. The music loses some of its heaviness but does not tame a bit-- four pieces are performed by the band, each is far more extended than the album cuts an has a weird jam-band/grindcore feel to it that, while I'm incapable of explaining it, benefits the material. On the last track with the band, Yamatsuka Eye of the Boredoms joins in to add some madness, and Eye and Zorn duet for an encore.

    All in all, it's a pretty impressive set, there's a lot of material, I suspect not all of it is going to be to everyone's liking, but it's a good value for the money. Recommended.

    3 out of 5 stars Shrieks and whispers and rolling thunder.......2003-12-06

    Although this box set lives up to its reputation (and then some), it's a disappointing collection of music. Painkiller is a very heavy, shrill band. Over the course of four CDs, three guys improvise an interesting hybrid of hardcore jazz and heavy metal: John Zorn on alto sax, Mick Harris on drums, and Bill Laswell on bass. The first two EPs (squeezed together on to one disc) are formless instrumentals of noise. Each song has a random length and a colorful title. These two EPs (Guts of a Virgin and Buried Secrets) don't have much going for them. They stop and start, they shriek, and in the end you get a little bit bored.

    Their third recording, Execution Ground (the second disc here) is a major improvement. It sounds like Laswell took the first two EPs and remixed them, blending ambient soundscapes into the jackhammering improvisation. There are three songs, each about 15 minutes long, that drone and rumble along. The third disc in this set is an ambient remix of Execution Ground. The noise is kept to a minimum while wind and distant echoing screams take over. It's very creepy and beautiful. It is, by far, the best part of this set.

    The fourth and final disc is a live album. It sounds just like Execution Ground. On the final tracks, the great Yamatsuka Eye joins in. Eye howls like the Tasmanian Devil along with Zorn's screeching saxophone. I've heard this disc over and over, waiting for it to grow on me, but it never did. It's boring.

    It's hard to recommend the Collected Works to anyone who hasn't already heard (and loved) Painkiller. The idea behind the band --- three musicians improvising the noisiest music of all time --- is a great idea. But the result is less than expected. Too much of this music is an indulgence that leaves you scratching your head. The high points (discs 2 and 3) are impressive, but not enough to justify buying the whole set.

    5 out of 5 stars SOUND IN AN AGE OF TERRORISM.......2003-07-26

    Improvisational music's currrent Dark Magus is found here
    in a amplified trio that includes alto sax, bass and drums. How to describe Zorn's playing here? Imagine if a velociraptor somehow was an alto saxophone virtuoso-and was hunting for his next kill! Bill Laswell's generous use of his weapons of bass destruction create the general mood and space of each piece while Harris's drums serve to raise or lower the general panic level. I'm not put off by noise but I do marvel at how HARD these guys work at it. Someone might compose a piece about BILE,
    But five BILE(s) in 5 different colors?! These recordings spill the "gutbucket" back into Jazz but in a visceral,FORENSIC sense.
    The use of dub techniques and echoes remind us that violence (most of which occurs on disc one) may reverberate longer in our lives than we think. P.S. Better than Naked City because more of Zorn's own brilliant playing over extended jams. Six Stars!!!
