I placed an order for all the Xmas releases (33 rpm, 45 rpm, cd) at DMG and it took a while before they sent my package as I was one of the many customers after the new release. I hope they managed to rise some cash out of it... and let the label breathe.
Enhanced re-issues are clearly a priority now in this downloading era...

I guess they heard me A few new releases are listed now. Including a JZ album: John Zorn: Mount Analogue [#7394] Drawing inspiration from the life and work of the towering spiritual figure Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, Mount Analogue is one of Zorn’s greatest creations. Taking the form of a mystical journey, the music jumps from one world to another weaving a rich tapestry that blends world music, jazz, contemporary classical and more. Featuring Cyro Baptista’s fabulous quartet Banquet of the Spirits augmented by the brilliant Kenny Wollesen on vibes, this is the latest volume in Zorn’s mystic series, and a major new extended composition. Described as aural cinema, even after thirty years Zorn’s file card pieces have never been equalled. A masterwork! ...that sounds pretty great to me.

Another new one on the horizon:
John Zorn: The Gnostic Preludes [#7395] Get ready for some of the most beautiful music Zorn has ever made! The Gnostic Preludes is the latest volume in the mystical quest of In Search of the Miraculous, The Goddess and At the Gates of Paradise. Here Zorn turns to chamber music simplicity with an intimate ensemble of harp, vibraphone and guitar inspired by Early Music, Debussy, the minimalism of Reich, Riley and Glass and esoteric spiritual traditions from around the world. The music is lyrical and hypnotic, perfect for early morning meditation, a lonely afternoon, or midnight contemplation. Performed with great feeling by long time Zorn collaborators Bill Frisell, Carol Emanuel and Kenny Wollesen, who interact with sensitivity and grace The Gnostic Preludes is one of Zorn's most tender and subtle creations.

Well, it is certainly nice to hear Bill Frisell is back in "town", so to speak. He has not been collaborating with JZ for such a long time.
And speaking of Frisell/Zorn things... I don't know if it happens but some days ago while browsing through Chippy's photos on Facebook I noticed that a 2010 post had announced a Naked City live Vol.2 in 2011.
Of course nothing showed up but it was good to see that the live project was not abandoned. It might happen one day... maybe:-)

David Krakauer: Pruflas: The Book of Angels vol. 18 [#7396] David Krakauer is one of the greatest of all modern Klezmer clarinetists. A veteran of countless bands and ensembles and a founding member of the Klezmatics, his ensemble Klezmer Madness has been forging new roads in the world of Jewish music since the late 1980s. David and Zorn have a long history and friendship that began with Zorn's legendary Kristallnacht recording of 1992, followed thru with David’s guest appearances in various Masada ensembles and the release of his first CD with Klezmer Madness on Tzadik. Here David takes a variety of Masada compositions back to their roots, interpreting them brilliantly as traditional (and not-so-traditional) Klezmer tunes. A fascinating meeting of old and new by two of the most creative musicians in Modern Jewish music!

From Heung-Heung Chin's Facebook profile:
"Chippy-ing away hard on the Nosferatu typogram (Tzadik April release). Should be going to sleep now, but I'm nearly done with part one."
When asked about the lineup, she responded:
"Rob Burger, Bill Laswell, Kevin Norton, John Zorn"

I can completely recommend Aleph by Terry Riley. Awesome, such a beautiful sound.

John Zorn: Nosferatu [#7397] Created for a modern Polish stage production of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale, Zorn has created a music filled with nostalgia, tenderness, violent power and a great sense of mystery. Featuring the dark ambient bass tones of Bill Laswell, the sensitive keyboards of Rob Burger, Kevin Norton on drums, vibes and percussion and Zorn on sax, this is a moody and menacing program of music for late night listening. Romantic ballads, ambient soundscapes and hardcore intensity! RELEASED ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF BRAM STOKER’S DEATH—APRIL 20, 1912.
