Selected Tracks: Rotcod Zzaj, aka Dick Metcalf, is the (irr) reverend, or should we say, raconteur, of experimental spoken word, piano stylings, and other strange and wondrous sounds. Labeled early on in his career as playing backward jazz, his music has thankfully grown even more backward ever since. As Splendid Ezine once wrote about Rotcod Zzaj's music "Everyone should have at least one CD from the ever-expanding (like the universe???) Zzaj Productions catalog!" And we quite agree...except, why stop at one? |
As Good As Gnu's The Imaginary Band is a trio with Rotcod Zzaj on keyboards and spoken word, Harlan Mark Vale on synths and drums, and Peter Tomshany on guitars and moog. The music on this disc is like a wild roller coaster ride with manic start/stop rhythms and countless sounds and efx making short, abrupt appearances throughout. "These guys excel at keeping the music moving, changing, and developing at a rapid fire pace. But rather than being incoherent, the development flows smoothly and I imagined this being the soundtrack to an avant-action movie. The listener is blasted with a banquet of sounds and effects and the instruments punctuate the music in spurts much like the sound efx do. There is a LOT happening all at once but trying to keep up isn't necessary for full enjoyment." -- Jerry Kranitz 8 tracks in 65:47 minutes More ZZAJ :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, we think you might also enjoy listening to: Turn A Deaf Ear (99 Hooker, Diaz-Infante, Forsyth, Mokuno) Sirius Intrigues (Rotcod and Ernesto Diaz-Infante) Triple Expression (Rotcod, Diaz-Infante, and Pat Harmon) Serenity (Joseph Benzola) |
