The problem with these new punk bands is that the good ones who continue with the regular hardcore punk aesthetic generally sell so few copies that it's hard to find them. Although, there is a website I used to use where a guy was essentially known for uploading various stuff like that. Albeit it's not anything 'new' (aside from tackling new issues in their songs), so I guess you win out there, but their music is still worth hearing, so I wouldn't say their anger has yet died, so to speak. Personally, when it comes to punk these days, I would much rather listen to hardcore-punk/'jazz' hybrids. It's more enjoyable for me because I prefer anger to come from the voice and the overall intensity of the performance, and not just the words. The japanese band Midori is probably my favorite example of this. You definitely pick up on the angry punk-esque vibe, but it's also fairly 'arty' and jazzy at times, and the musicianship is nuts. While some argue that it's not even 'punk' anymore, just a deviation of its raw energy, I like to think otherwise. It still comes off as the sound of anarchy with the passion that's put into it. |

Metal is probably the most maligned genre outside of general pop music but many bands have been going for decades and can still fill arenas and sell their music, whatever the musical climate out there.
It's one of the most fan orientated genres out there and is one of the most enduring genres too. Metal music is cliche ridden and laughable in many respects but it has a durability that HAS to be commended.

However, Masada, Naked City(and all Eye really did for Naked City is scream over it. He did a very excellent job, but I don't really think you can give him that much credit), Moonchild, The Art Of Memory(Even if it's just guitar solos with sax), The Big Gun Down, Magick, Spillane/Goddard, etc. I feel are indispensable works. A statement like this completely misses out on the brilliance presented in Zorn's better work. As for a lot of it being with other people(Patton, Kronos Quartet, etc.), I think Zorn's ability to bring out the best in who he works with is why he's great. Moonchild, for example, I think by far is one of Patton's best projects, and by far trumps anything Patton has done on his own. Why? Zorn knows how to get the best out of him, like most people he works with. As for comparing him to Coltrane, I don't get that. I remember a thread a few days ago where people were arguing about Coltrane vs Zorn. Which I feel is kind of pointless because they're both legends for drastically different reasons. |

Amazon.com: Miya Masaoka: Songs, Albums, Pictures, Bios All I have myself is what's available from amazon in MP3 format. The first one there is over 50 minutes long and only 99 cents. I have it and think it's cool. The best I have is Compositions/Improvisations. |
