Explosive Ribot,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yo I Killed Your God (Audio CD)
If you have ever seen Ribot live, you know how lacking the digital compact disc is at capturing his truly ecstatic sound. But this album comes as close as possible to evoking the zeitgeist of Shrek's live performances of '92 and '94. The sound is one part Rootless Cosmopolitans ("The Wind Cries Mary"), one part Los Cubanos Postizos ("Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," "Jamon Con Yuca"), and six or seven parts Avant-Punk--a strange combination of the most absurd cartoon music of John Zorn and the most serious anti-pop anthems of the Minutemen. This CD is not just another live one; it is an aural collage of Ribot's manifold styles.

And now for something completely different.,

This review is from: Yo I Killed Your God (Audio CD)
An unnervingly eclectic live album, Marc Ribot's "Yo! I Killed Your God" finds the downtown New York guitar virtuoso exploring dozens of forms. Clear influences throughout include the no wave scene of the recent New York past and his many collaborators (genre bender John Zorn, Tom Waits), but I also detect a flavor of Captain Beefheart in here as well, particularly in the angular guitar tone sometimes recalling the sounds of Zoot Horn Rollo. Add to that Ribot's bizarre spoken word vocal, and you should have a good idea what to expect.There's really not much more to say about this one, it covers dozens of styles and if you're into that sort of thing in a punky context, check this out, you'll love it (I did). If not, stick with his straighter material.

I have a number of Marc Ribot albums, and this is not of the same caliber or style,very disappointing and one of my worst amazon purchases, though I do love the title
