I didn’t realize until today how different the cd versions are from the original LP, and how the two cd versions differed. Chronicled here:

Death Ambient – Drunken Forest (Tzadik 2007)

[T.D.]

J.R. Monterose 3 CD Set: T.T.T., Is Alive in Amsterdam Paradiso, Body and Soul [Limited Release]

Japanese 1,800 yen reissue of 3-cd bundle: 2 Timeless and one Storyville. Too lazy to look up cover art for all 3, though I'm partial to T.T.T. due to J. R.'s uncanny resemblance to Moe Howard in the photo. 😅

John Zorn – Spinoza

I really get very little out of this one.

John Zorn – Mary Halvorson Quartet – Paimon (Book Of Angels Volume 32)

John Zorn Featuring Marc Ribot – The Book Of Heads

Paul Shapiro – Midnight Minyan

John Zorn - Eyvind Kang – Alastor (Book Of Angels Volume 21)

First listen to all of these. I'm probably least underwhelmed by the Kang one.
