Filmworks VII:
Cynical Hysterie Hour
Before Zorn acquired the rights to Cynical Hysterie Hour
from CBS/Sony and released it on his Tzadik
label, it was one of the most sought after titles
in his discography, having previously been released in Japan for only a
few months. In addition, the seventh Filmworks is some of Zorn's freshest
and most captivating music. The album is a collection of four soundtracks
Zorn did for Japanese animator Kiriko Kubo's short cartoons. The results
are awesome, a music that conveys the weird logic of cartoons without ever
becoming too sappy. This is one of Zorn's best albums, really really good
stuff. Highly recomended.
