Anyway, as an old-school physical item fetishist I would dive first into the band's back catalogue, which offers some nice selection of live and studio material over the last decade:

The s/t live release sounds enticing...

had never heard this before (I know it's kind of out od subjectwith nthis thread, but wtf...)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Improvisation deconstructed by Ornette Coleman and Jacques Derrida:
http://www.ubu.com/papers/Derrida-In...leman_1997.pdfWhen I was doing free jazz, most people thought that I just picked up my saxophone and played whatever was going through my head, without
following any rule, but that wasn't true. [...] I compose and I give the parts to the musicians in rehearsal. What's really shocking in improvised music is that despite its name, most musicians use a "framework" as a basis for improvising. [...] The idea is that two or three people can have a conversation with sounds, without trying to dominate it or lead it. [...]
In improvised music I think the musicians are trying to reassemble an emotional or intellectual puzzle, in any case a puzzle in which the instruments give the tone. [...] In jazz you can take a very old piece and do another version of it. What's exciting is the memory that you bring to the present. [However] the form that metamorphoses into other forms, I think it's something healthy, but very rare.
[Also] repetition is already in improvisation: thus when people want to trap you between improvisation and the pre-written, they are wrong. Repetition is as natural as the fact that the earth rotates.
