Product Description
These Might have Been a Four Year Gap Between Gehenna's Offering, "ww" and their Last "Murder" but the Band, Recently Having Unleashed a Triumphant Live Show By: Larm in their Native Stavanger, for which UK Magazine Terrorizer Described the Band at the Gig Embracing the Necro Stench of True Black Metal Primitivism is Now Back and Stronger Than Ever. Gone Are the Death Metal Elements in Favour of Those Crepuscular, Black Metal Soundscapes that Made Gehenna One of the Black Metal Pioneers Back in the Early Ninties - the More Somber Sound that Shaped Black Metal as it is Known Today. 'ww' Brings a Chunk of the Past Into the Future. It's Primitive Sound Forcefully Blends in Perfect Disharmony with the Dangerous and Caliginous Style of the Material. This is a Marriage Made in Hell that Wages War Itself and Its Surrounding.

A good overview of Zorn's soundtrack compositions........2005-10-24

Over the past twenty years or so, John Zorn has built up an enormous library of composition for film, released on sixteen CDs (cleverly titled "Filmworks I", "Filmworks II", and so on...) on his Tzadik record label. For a neophyte, this can be a bit much to tackle, as such, this album, "Filmworks Anthology: 20 Years of Soundtrack Music" has been released to provide an overview of Zorn's soundtrack composition.

As an overview of Zorn's work, this succeeds well. It also appears that another goal was to represent every volume, as at least one piece is drawn from each (volumes VI and VIII get two cuts, I and XII get three, and III and VII get four). Just about everything in Zorn's diverse catalog of film soundtracks is covered-- movies, documentaries, pornography, cartoons and commercials (certainly none I've seen!) are all represented with a suitably diverse array of pieces, from gamelan to string trios to surf rock, Zorn pretty much covers a wide array of sounds and moods-- if nothing else, the diversity of these 28 tracks is a testament to his vast skills to compose in virtually any environment. I could make a few arguments about what cuts I would have picked, but by-and-large, the compilation is a rather good and thorough overview, and the cast of performers is immense, with virtually all key players in the downtown scene involved to some extent or another.

Another notable point about this release is the artwork-- packed in a digipack with a pair of photos of Zorn (one from '86, one from '05) and stills from the various pieces littered throughout the liner notes, it certainly looks great. And speaking of the liner notes, Zorn offers a superb essay on film soundtrack composition and appreciations by musicians Marc Ribot, Anthony Coleman, Jamie Saft and Cyro Baptista (all of whom appear to some extent or another on the music) are included.

I've got currently about half of the filmworks series and I found value in this overview. Several of the individual pieces hold together far better than this recording does, but it certainly does a great job providing an impression of Zorn's diverse film scoring career.

Curious about Zorn?.......2005-10-23

Considering myself a casual fan of John Zorn I have been at times either annoyingly put off or enthusiastically engaged with the diversity of his music. Admittedly, It can be daunting for a Zorn novice to find a suitable entry point in which to begin navigating through the extremities of his musical output. This new collection, which pulls material from the sixteen releases (thus far) of his FILMWORKS series, is everything the curious could want in a well-rounded introduction.

The selections chosen for this disc make for an exhilarating listening experience from start to finish as the focus jumps from one musical genre to the next, from cartoon scores to punk rock to jazz and surf music. Most selections early on clock in at under 4 minutes, with many others zipping by under just one. All these various styles meld together so effortlessly that it's impressive it all comes from a single creative mind.

The packaging is also deserving of mention, as the CD is housed in a fold-out digipack case with two booklets attached inside. In one of these booklets Zorn describes his methods and self-imposed rules in creating music for film (as well as for dealing with snoopy film directors). The other booklet features short essays by a few of Zorn's collaborators on what the creative sessions were like. There are also many photos from the films the music accompanies. (So far the only films I've seen with Zorn's scores are "Trembling Before G-D" and "Protocols of Zion".)

Favorite tracks: "Surfing Samba", "Arsenal Dance Mix", "Shanghai", "Main Title (Invitation to a Suicide)"
Final Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Masada String Trio in a number of settings........2006-01-05

John Zorn's soundtrack work in the past decade and particularly the past few years has been dominated by Jewish subjects-- unsurprising given his place in "Radical Jewish Culture" music and the Masada songbook, having dominated his work since the mid-90s. "Filmworks XI", erroneously titled "Under the Wing" (including on the label's website) is the soundtrack for the documentary "Secret Lives", about Jewish children hidden during the Holocaust. For the film, Zorn assembled the Masada String Trio-- Mark Feldman on violin, Erik Friedlander on cello and Greg Cohen on bass, augmenting them by vocalist Vanessa Saft on two tracks and pianist Jamie Saft on one, for a mix of Masada and other pieces.

The soundtrack is remarkably varied-- while the core of it is four Masada pieces (all previously unreleased), these are mixed with a handful of moody pieces that've got that incidental tension feel to them and one downright ecstatic swing piece. Throughout, the playing is superlative-- of particular note is the way the trio captures a range of moods, be it mournful ("Chazel", "Shabbos Noir"), optimistic ("B'rachos"), dramatic (the aptly titled "Drama") or frightening ("The Trap"). Invariably, the piece works out nicely and stands on its own-- Zorn's done better soundtrack work, but this one's worth a listen. Recommended.

great film music.......2003-03-18

Previous viewers have unfortunately overlooked this record's role as a film score. It's ultimate purpose is to accompany a film and is therefore very much tied to a film's mood and content. While not necesarilly as radical as Zorn's other work, it is beautifully descriptive and engaging, which is further evidence of the composer's gift for creating unique music.

Another CD of classy Jewish jazz.......2002-09-06

This one is a little boring for a hardcore Zorn fan, but it's a great place to start if you are a Zorn virgin. So it's hard to rate. Let's say it's three-and-a-half stars for me, five stars for you. If you haven't heard Zorn before and you don't think you'll like his noisy, chaotic music, pick this one up. It's peaceful and dramatic, with LOTS of strings.

If you like BAR KOKHBA and THE CIRCLE MAKER, you'll *love* this.

I should also mention that the packaging is very good. Zorn and the filmmakers have a pair of brief essays about the music and the film.

Zorn: Masada String Ensemble.......2002-08-09

For those that would like some info on new Zorn releases other than the tiny bits found on Amazon, hope this helps. First off, Filmworks XI is NOT for Under The Wing. It is listed on the CD like this: 2002 Volume One - Secret Lives Featuring the Masada String Trio. (Though Under The Wing may have been the original title of the film.)

It's the last three words there that are key. The string ensemble that plays Masada songs produces some of the most beautiful of Zorn's works. See for example the Circle Maker and Bar Kokhba which are each double CDs of Masada string work.

The 21 tracks here played by Mark Feldman on violin, Erik Friedlander on cello and Greg Cohen on bass take the traditional Jewish music that John Zorn has written for his Masada Songbook and turn it into achingly sad, melancholic - and powerful - stuff.

The film these tracks are from is Secret Lives: Hidden Children and their Rescuers During WWII, directed by Aviva Slesin.
It may not be quite as strong as Bar Kokhba, but it's great to hear new stuff from the group, and it is a very beautiful piece.
