There's a few, but Machine Gun alone can kill a man at 90 paces.

Has anyone listened to Jon Hassell's new album, Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street? It's brilliant. One of my favorite things right now.

I also love L'Axe du Fou by Forgas Band Phenomena. Can't stop listening to it either.

I spent about 5 minutes trying to find a Peter Brotzmann download through blogs to no avail. Apparently people don't blog about popular jazz artists.

Can you recommend some fast, chaotic, extreme jazz? Especially something like that with ridiculous guitar and drum playing. I want the most ridiculous stuff you know. Please!
