0.0 | Lambda | February 3rd 15 | The Mystic Fugu Orchestra consists of John Zorn and Yamantaka (Yamatsuka) Eye. This is their only release: eight songs inspired by the music of historic Judaica. To simulate the sound of a gramophone recording (and thus make the whole thing sound more 'ancient'), a heavy layer of surface noise was added on top of the music. What results is not unpleasant, but is also pretty worthless. The surface noise dominates the mix-- what's underneath sounds nice enough, but it's almost indecipherable. And the whole thing is only 23 minutes long. Apparently, Zorn and Eye tried to trick people into thinking this was some long lost 'ancient recording' when it was really just them dicking around in the studio with some noise added overtop. A funny gag-- but then we're left with the music, and it's just dicking around in the studio with some noise added overtop. 1.5

1.0 awful | EasterInTheBatcave | December 3rd 15 | A trolling attempt from John Zorn and Yamatsuka Eye which, while funny in concept, is completely pointless to actually listen to. It's 23 minutes of nearly indecipherable faux-'ancient' music.
