I am here, I am here (duty called and I had to fly but I'm back now), yeah, Naked City is a good starting point for people coming from metal/ hardcore/ punk/ industrial side of things, that's how I got into Zorn universe, but be sure to get their "Torture Garden" album or their selftitled debut for a great treat of manic cut-up jazz/thrash/country/insanity/punkl/reggae/improv stuff. Their later albums are more abstract, though I strongly recommend "Absinthe" for the illest horror ambiences this side of Coil. The rest of Zorn's output is totally inexplicable as he covers so much ground that it's impossible to put it in one sentence, or even to see connections. I'll look up your profile and if you have the email address in there I'll mail you a John Zorn FAQ. There are also a couple of decent sites on Zorn but I seem to have forgotten the URL's but a yahoo search should be able to come up with it. I recommend his label's homepage www.tzadik.com for a quick view of a lot of his activities and there are some soundbytes there for you to hear. His jazz band Masada could appeal to you as it is based on mixing NYC cooljazz and newthing with jewish klezmer, and you, polish people should be familiar with klezmer, I think.

It's funny that you bring up John Zorn, because I was just talking about a Japanese band called the Ruins a few posts back, and when they first started out, they collaborated with John on a few things. Some interesting tracks came out of that.
