Dalet

Mahlah 8:19
Zenan 3:57
Originally only issued in a special offer,
the Dalet EP used to be one of Zorn's hardest to find discs. You had to
have bought the first three Masada discs, and you received the fourth one
as a reward. Disc Union now offers Dalet as a regular album. The price
is sometimes comparable to other Masada albums ($18-21). Considering the
limited amount of material, the choice is tough. Personally I think these
are three of Masada's best tracks and are definitely worth getting. Midbar
is one of my all time favorite tracks, a dense, funky piece that uses odd
time signatures, and a friend of mine bought the CD just for Zenan, the
intense Joey Baron feature that closes out the album. Whether this is worth
the import price is up to you.
