Last May I shared Hemophiliac – 50⁶ with Mike Patton, Ikue Mori, & John Zorn, recorded live at Tonic September 1, 2003 as part of John Zorn's 50th birthday celebration.

In June while I was working on Musick that Needed Work - P, I shared Painkiller's Guts of a Virgin. 

 

Today I'm sharing Painkiller recorded live at Tonic September 6, 2003 for John's on-going 50th birthday celebration.

For the live performance Painkiller is John Zorn, Bill Laswell, & Hamid Drake (with guest vocals by Mike Patton).. Although rcorded in 2003 this was not released until September 2005.

Musick that Needed Work - P: Painkiller

 

I've been fighting my way through a folder I have labeled Musick that Needs Work. I start at "A" in 2015. I'm up to "P" now. When I looked under the letter P I was surprised at how many items I had. So for a while this month I'm gonna do this thing.

I usually try to mix these shares up in some kinda order that seems to make sense but probably only to me, so I'm gonna just dole them out in alphabetical, they way they are in the folder. 

 

First up is Painkiller.

Painkiller was formed in 1991 by saxophonist John Zorn, bassist Bill Laswell, & drummer Mick Harris. It is one of the longest running Zorn projects. This debut offering finds the band performing a mix of avantgarde jazz & grindcore. What an insane combination.

Bonnicon sez:
     "This album will bludgeon your senses, atrophy your auditory tract with it's jet-fuelled rage."

Recorded April 1991 at Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY. This is the Japanese release on Toy's Factory with the banned in UK cover artwork

Pain Killer - Guts of a Virgin, Toy's Factory TFCK 88561, 1991.
