1	Music Romance, Vol. 2: Taboo & Exile (1999) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Like the first volume of the series, Music Romance, Volume Two: Taboo and Exile deals with issues of lost innocence. The first of the Music Romance series had more overt references to childhood, with lengthy literary references and a title which gave it all away: Music for Children. Here the images are a little bit more subtle and a lot darker. ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.99!
2	Elegy (1995) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Another smeared blossoming testament to the off-color and highly obtuse genius of John Zorn. A mostly minimalist and sparse landscape of sheer terror and spine-ripping controlled noise explosion. One of the highlights of the album is its wealth of renowned guest artists, most recognizably including Mike Patton and Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle fame ... see all copies from $12.46! new only from $12.46!
3	Naked City (1989) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist The violent cover photo (which shows a man after he was shot dead) sets the stage for the rather passionate music on this John Zorn set. With guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, bassist Fred Frith, drummer Joey Baron, and guest vocalist Yamatsuka Eye making intense contributions, altoist Zorn performs his unpredictable originals, ... see all copies from $8.14! new only from $15.36!
4	The Gift (2001) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Shattering expectations has been a hallmark of John Zorn's career, but The Gift might surprise even longtime fans. It's basically Zorn's exotica record; a tribute to the sound made popular by the likes of Martin Denny and Les Baxter. A core band of Downtown heavyweights provide you with an easy-listening sound that conjures images of sand and surf ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
5	Astronome (2006) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist John Zorn's utter fascination with and envelopment in the mystical occult and outsider art of the 19th and 20th centuries continues on Astronome. Dedicated to the same three figures who informed Moonchild (also released in 2006): magician and philosopher Aleister Crowley, poet and dramatic Antonin Artaud, and composer Edgard Varèse. Drummer Joey ... see all copies from $14.52! new only from $14.52!
6	Bar Kokhba (1996) more music like this by John Zorn/Masada Chamber Ensembles add to wishlist Bar Kokhba encompasses the wealth of material John Zorn has composed with his eminent quartet Masada. The album is a collection of Masada songs that have been rearranged for chamber ensembles. For this effort, Zorn enlists some of New York's finest musicians: John Medeski, Marc Ribot, Anthony Coleman, and Erik Freedlander, among others. The ... see all copies from $20.69! new only from $20.69!
7	The Circle Maker (1998) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist This two-disc release captures beautiful and refined music that makes full use of two ensembles' extraordinary musicianship. Drawing from John Zorn's Masada songbook are the Masada String Trio and the Bar Kokhba Sextet. Each ensemble fills one CD with beautiful chamber jazz woven around a heart of Jewish melodies. Zorn skeptics will find the ... see all copies from $21.82! new only from $21.82!
8	The Best of Film Works: 20 Years of Soundtrack Music (2005) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist This single volume makes it all crystal clear: John Zorn is one of the most inventive, sophisticated, mischievous, and poignant film score composers who works (mostly) outside the Hollywood system. Some of the directors he has worked with are Walter Hill, Jean-Luc Godard, Dina Waxman, Sandi Dubowski, Oren Rudavsky, Henry Hills, and Marc Levin. ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
9	Six Litanies for Heliogabalus (2007) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist In 2006, John Zorn issued two recordings that were the first two volumes in the realization of a project that, as he put it in his notes to the second volume, a methodology "combining the hypnotic intensity of ritual (composition) the spontaneity of magic (improvisation) in a modern musical format (rock)." Those two efforts, Moonchild and ... see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
10	Godard/Spillane (1999) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist "Godard" and "Spillane" were the two first (and purest) examples of the "file card" composition technique developed by John Zorn and inspired by theater director Richard Foreman. The compositions were constructed from independent scraps of music inscribed on file cards; the two principal works here called for assembly of the cards ("Spillane" used ... see all copies from $15.41! new only from $15.41!
11	Voices in the Wilderness (2003) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist see all copies from $21.20! new only from $21.20!
12	Film Works, Vol. 16: Working Man's Death (2005) by John Zorn add to wishlist see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
13	Film Works, Vol. 7: Cynical Hysterie Hour (1997) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Cynical Hysterie Hour is John Zorn's music for four animated shorts by Japanese cartoonist Kiriko Kubo. Bursts of TV rock, synth whistles and barks, banjo licks, and sound effects intensify the caffeinated jumping through genre hoops of this slick and cinematically silly music. Clocking in at 25 minutes, this CD's value lies in the fact that it is ... see all copies from $12.46! new only from $12.46!
14	Yankees (1982) more music like this by Derek Bailey/George Lewis/John Zorn add to wishlist A collective improvisation by Derek Bailey on acoustic and electric guitars, George Lewis on trombone, and John Zorn on alto and soprano saxes, clarinets, and game calls. Subtle, droll, hilarious takes on the trivia of baseball sounds: Lewis speaks through the trombone "ball one, ball one...." There are snippets of a slipping and sliding version ... see all copies from $14.98!
15	The Golden Palominos [3-CD Collection] (2005) more music like this by The Golden Palominos add to wishlist see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
16	The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone (1985) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist On this intriguing concept album, altoist John Zorn (who also "sings" and plays harpsichord, game calls, piano, and musical saw) utilizes an odd assortment of open-minded avant-garde players (with a couple of ringers) on nine themes originally written for Italian films by Ennio Morricone, plus his own "Tre Nel 5000." These often-radical ... see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
17	At the Mountains of Madness (2005) more music like this by John Zorn/Electric Masada add to wishlist John Zorn's At the Mountains of Madness presents two sets (Moscow, Ljubljana) recorded at the end of a lengthy European tour. The band is exactly the same as on The 50th Birthday Celebration, Vol. 4 and many of the same tunes are performed, but the performances actually feel very different. Perhaps there was something of wanting to put on a good ... see all copies from $18.76! new only from $18.76!
18	Surrealistic Surfer (2001) more music like this by The Golden Palominos add to wishlist Surrealistic Surfer is neither a greatest-hits collection nor a new release. It's an oddball compilation of the Golden Palominos' early days, up until 1989's Dead Horse LP. It showcases a healthy sampling of Anton Fier's revolving door of musical accomplices, including Amanda Kramer and Robert Kidney. Two versions of "The Animal Speaks" also ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $12.64!
19	I.A.O. (2002) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist This album, a studio suite, is wrapped in mysticism. The four cards that serve as a booklet feature cabalistic signs, esoteric diagrams, a quote from Alaister Crowley and a dedication to esoteric filmmaker Kenneth Anger. A short note by John Zorn establishing a parallel between the tools and craft of musical composition and magic is the only given ... see all copies from $12.46! new only from $12.46!
20	Masada Guitars (2003) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist John Zorn has long maintained that Masada is more a collection of songs than a band, and he's asked a bunch of friends for their interpretations as part of Masada's tenth anniversary, the first release being Masada Guitars. Those expecting an electric romp through the Masada songbook might be disappointed; Masada Guitars consists entirely of solo, ... see all copies from $13.25! new only from $13.25!
21	Moonchild (2006) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Let's take away John Zorn's ecstatic -- some would say diarrheic -- hyperbole in the sleeve notes for a bit and look at the trio here: vocalist Mike Patton, drummer Joey Baron, and bassist Trevor Dunn. Given their individual and collective résumés, the possibilities are nearly endless. These three offer Moonchild, Zorn's "contemporary song cycle," ... see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
22	50th Birthday Celebration, Vol. 10 (2005) more music like this by Yamataka Eye/John Zorn add to wishlist see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
23	Madness, Love and Mysticism (2001) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist John Zorn's chamber pieces are now becoming as much the rule as they are the exception in his ever-expanding catalog of works. This trio of pieces is -- even for him -- among his most provocative and most musically noteworthy. The contents are "Le Mômo," for violin (Jennifer Choi) and piano (Stephen Drury); an untitled cello sonata (featuring ... see all copies from $13.29! new only from $13.29!
24	Xu Feng (2000) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist This CD provides an exceptional overview of the work of John Zorn, as it collects numerous short works which exhibit his groundbreaking methods in structured improvisation known as game pieces, which are among his most highly acclaimed achievements of the '80s period. These works date from 1977 through 1989 and keep with the tradition of his ... see all copies from $9.26! new only from $12.46!
25	Masada Recita (2004) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman had been collaborating in various projects for a number of years, and had developed a wonderful rapport before being invited to participate in John Zorn's 50th birthday celebration at Tonic in September of 2003. Feldman had been working the Masada songbook in various groups for years, but Courvoisier's ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $10.08!
