DAVID SHEA — Hsi-Yu Chi (2000) Composer Series | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

A sprawling, defyingly integrated work fashioned from bits of Chinese, country & western, pop, jazz, rock, and even Celtic musics. Shea's reliance on the sampler is less pronounced here, instead scoring dense, acutely musical numbers ably executed by John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Jim Pugliese, Zeena Parkins, Kato Hideki, and others. Based on a massive 16th-century allegorical text chronicling the journey of the Taoist priest Hsuan-Tsang from India to China. Sean Cooper

JOHN ZORN — The Bribe : Variations And Extensions On Spillane (1998) Archival Series | Two Version | APE + FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

Written a few months after the session that created one of Zorn's most influential compositional masterpieces "Spillane," The Bribe is a major new discovery in the Zorn oeuvre. Recorded in the same style as "Spillane," with the same engineer, and very close to the same ensemble, these cues are not unlike an extended version of that classic piece. Created originally for three thirty minutes radio plays produced by Mabou Mines theater company back in 1986, this exciting music features lush moody orchestrations, swinging jazz, hard rock, groovy funk, noise, improvisations, exotic ambience and much, much more. With all the music squeezed onto one extended CD (over 76 minutes), The Bribe is one of Zorn's most eclectic and stimulating releases. TZADIK
