Well, I like John Zorn, but in smaller doses. I only have 1 Naked City CD. I've owned some of his composition CD's (like Elegy) and his novelty use of sound FX started to get old after only a few listens. Don't get my wrong though, I continue to be impressed with John Zorn the producer and John Zorn the record label guy (Tzadik). He continues to find (or re-introduce) many amazing composer/musicians like Jim O'Rourke, David Shea (he's in Mr. Bungle, right?), and tons of people I never heard of. Another nice thing that he does is provide a nice description of the musician's style on Tzadik CD's. I recently saw a performance in SF with Mike Patton on vocals, Otomo Yoshihidae on turntables, and Bob Ostertag on samples. It was quite an amazing show!.
