John Zorn and Yamataka Eye's "Nani Nani II" is in many ways a continuation of their previous album. Again, its primarily an ambient affair, but with a bit more variety and fire to it.

Essentially, this is one long piece, working well as a coherent statement-- it moves through a number of moods, from Zorn screeching over electronic noise ("F***xotica", "Uffof") to delicate, open performances where simple balances fill space nicely ("Hilo Himo", "Espimo") to some almost straightforward work (the appropriately named ambient piece, "Bartime with Eno", "4ab"). The album really covers a lot of territory and remains engaging throughout.

Having stated this, I've listened to it no more than a handful of times since I got it-- its significantly better than "Nani Nani", but I still don't come back to it.

This is an awsomly fun document of EYE-San and Zorn-San improvising together. Although there are track listings, they merly serve as land-marks. The music on this disc is one continuis peice. Its got wirring electronics, child-like vocals, a whirring fan motor, an organ, and Zorns TradeMark sax peels. This record says alot about the current state of improvised music, and how its changed since the days of Derek Bailey & Han Bennek. Dig it, babe.

Nani Nani, their first collaboration nigh ten years back, was intermittantly amusing, but ultimately dissapointing. It was the sounds of two geniuses mastrubating, which, honestly, sounds like just about anybody doing the same.

But I bought it anyway, and kept it, becuase I love these guys! And this disc goes a greater distance towards showing their respective talents. The working philosophy seems to be the same as their prior disc- it was all recorded on the same day, and I doubt there was a lot of forethought, but the results are so much more interesting. Zorn actually plays his instruments- Eye is actually using some instruments (last time it was toys).

The Boredoms post '95 forays into increasingly tribal and ambient music have their root originate with Eye, and it is this eye that shows up for this session. This album is largely about mood and ambience rather than screaming and clowning around.

There is noise, beauty, a screeching sax/synth track, alien chanting and all around goodness. If you are a fan of either of these men, be not afraid, this disc delivers.
