[blackandtanful]

どだい､聴くのは酷!～ついていけなかった､ﾖｰﾛｯﾊﾟ･ﾌﾘ­ｰの要､ﾍﾟｯﾀｰ･ﾌﾞﾛｯﾂﾏﾝ､今聴き直すと爽快ブロウに­歓喜!～強力ﾏｼﾝｶﾞﾝ #jazzm

[atsstockburn]

The chaos is enormous. I don't recommend listening to this on acid.

[Malatrova]

the version of Kenny G is far superior

[earthtomiles]

OHMYGOD %^& ALL THIS FAKEASS POSTMODERN LAPTOPPED P4K GARBAGE! THIS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL SLAY!!

[Medioda]

50 years old, and still as powerful as it was in the late 60's

[qayxswedc37]

This man is a crazy free-jazzman. I love that

[qayxswedc37]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[EddyPop100]

Shall we dance?

[nockle]

i played this when i was at college really loud to scare people walking past in the street, and i over-heard one of them shout "turn that bloody jazz off" . So even the moron students in Leeds can recognise it as jazz. Brotzmann is one of the master musicians of the world.

[badababada]

i preferred kenny g's take on this standard

[BayeKambui]

@badababada LOL!

[ministeroftuba]

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

just got this cd in the post today...what a beautiful noise

[alucardisdumb]

fucking jerking off to these hornz.

[Spiwak003]

Brutal jazz is brutal...

[sunra3000]

what a great feat of music wildness brotzmann i love it live

[PWOPLW]

I figured out why it's called "Machine Gun." Because both machine guns and this song can physically damage you.

[Osthropek]

This is beautiful. Most people use this for hipsterness or "OH I LISTEN TO NOISE, AIN'T I AMAAAAAAZING", But this album is pretty much perfect.

[andrewneedsalawn]

if Merzbow made jazz..

kidding, i really like this stuff.

[kuj4z]

@andrewneedsalawn funny that, I thought of this more as noise music than jazz. Funny musical boundries are blurred

[Unholyphobe]

@kuj4z The best jazz (and the best noise) ignores categorizations.

[Gumbo550]

This made me laugh out loud.

[Multiwatered]

I like this

[YofterMofter]

What a beautiful, melodic music.

[DtotheKable]

I don´t know why but i think i like it :D I hope Tell me i´m not crazy ^^

[traktorihagen]

Wow!

[kaini]

makes me want to smash things, in a good way

[elmerglugh]

kind of blue is beginner jazz? that's brain damage in action.

[rdnzl7878]

this record actually helps me the properly organize my thoughts. it humiliates me, altough somehow that's encouraging at the same time.

sorry, i'm drunk.

[revan210]

This was my teachers favourite type of music. So this goes out to him.

RIP Mr Farrel

[cyurisich]

not normally a big jazz fan but this is pretty cool. Not going to enter my regular playlist but yeah, not bad.

[Muloc7253]

Can't get over how amazing this is, and I'm really not a jazz fan.

[Cococlips]

you can only break the rules if ya know it.

[listentohella]

i love this

[Muloc7253]

i love this but cant get through Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, is that strange?

[longlegged]

@Muloc7253 - I wouldn't find it strange necassarily because Black Saint, though more lyrical, requires more patient listening.What I find strange though is people mentioning this record in the same breath as avant garde records like Machine Gun for example.Black Saint is nothing of the sort.

[meddle71echoes]

Brilliant convulsion at 7:52 , yeah?

[fiddlercrab3]

@meddle71echoes Yeah! Reminds me of the Frank Zappa tune, "Plastic People", on the album Absolutely Free. A fitting title for such a comparison.

[ThatPhunkyMunKy]

is this the original or the rerelease? which take is this?

[Muloc7253]

@ThatPhunkyMunKy 2nd take

[vitesenzafine]

It is actually more listenable and less "monstruous" than its fame has it

[glun]

The only jazz album I can put myself through.

[Muloc7253]

@glun one of the few i like aswell

[GuhGuhGuh]

so ill

[jasonbigelow]

This album,"Machine Gun," blows away pretty much everything that would be considered as,"intense," that came after it. I would put Brotzman's octet at the time,up in the same category as Discordance Axis.

[meatsuds77]

Probably one of the truest musical comparisons I have ever heard.

[jasonbigelow]

yay! you get it. There's something about Discordance Axis that to me,reminds me of balls-out free jazz,and something about "Machine Gun," that brings to mind,brutal precise grindcore.

[dearyou1994]

Discordance Axis IS jazz, at least in my opinion.

[jasonbigelow]

I totally agree with you!

[4boardsandapassion]

Check out his son Caspar - imagine this with guitars.

It's like Hendrix played industrial music.

[Muloc7253]

@jasonbigelow theres much intenser grind than discordance axis, thats beginner stuff

[Muloc7253]

@jasonbigelow Discordance Axis is lame, it's just beginner grindcore in the same way that 'kind of blue' is beginner jazz. There's much more intense jazz out there than DA.

[jasonbigelow]

@Muloc7253 Bullshit.

[Muloc7253]

@jasonbigelow much more intense grindcore I meant to say, not jazz.

Seriously, Discordance Axis is like the 'In a Silent Way' of grind. Explore more underground grind and you'll see, it'll mean you forgetting Nuclear Blast and Roadrunner and the major labels and going to little Indonesian online stores and buying $1 cdrs limited to 20 copies, though.

[StevieLeeRachel]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS

[richardcham]

like OMGZ!!1!!111! BEST SONG EVERZZ

[jjazz22]

Sounds like these guys took some shrapnel.

lol

[pianoforterastig]

This is an excerpt from an interview with Brötzmann and Radio Majjem concerning to "Machine Gun", could be helpful for comprehension:

"We wanted to change the world - stupid and foolish, I know - but that was in our mind. (...) My generation was born during the war and we grew up in the after-war situation and of course - if you want it or not - you had to think about things. What I was sure of, that such a thing like the 2nd World War, the Holocaust never will happen in this world again....."

[pianoforterastig]

".....but then you saw - growing up - the Korean War happened, the Cold War was there (...) the Vietnam was in preparing and all that kind of things motivated us to change the music. (...) Martin Luther King was killed just 40 years ago and all these kind of things you have in your brain and in your guts and you had to work that out. (...) We get rid of all the papers, of all the scores and we just tried to improvise...."

Interview from September 03 2008
