Although there are many excellent tracks here, Masada's first
album might be worth getting simply for Idalah-Abal, a slow and ominous
ballad which is one of the most beautiful things Zorn has ever written.
It has been by every Zorn group, and also appears on the Live
in Jerusalem album, but the version here is by far the best. Bith Aneth,
Ashnah, Tahah and Zebdi have all gone on to become regular parts of the
Masada repertoire, and chances are if you've seen them live , you've heard
one of those songs.
