Lacrosse is a double album with seven versions of "lacrosse", an experimental piece featuring (originally) Eugene Chadbourne and Henry Kaiser on electric guitars, Bruce Ackley on soprano sax, and John Zorn on Alto. The other takes were made a year later with a different ensemble

- Mark Abbott on electronics
- Polly Bradfield on violin, viola and electric violin
- Eugene Chadbourne on acoustic, electric 6-strings, 12-strings, dobro and tiple
- LaDonna Smith on violin and viola
- Davey Williams on banjo and hollow-body electric guitar
- John Zorn on Alto and Soprano saxomaphones and Bb clarinet

Truly crazy out there stuff. John Zorn has released billions of albums - avante garde, and also in many different genres, sometimes in the same composition. He released albums on several independent US and European labels, Zorn signed with Elektra Nonesuch and attracted wide acclaim in 1985 when he released The Big Gundown with his interpretations of music composed by Ennio Morricone.[2] This was followed by the album Spillane in 1987, and the first album by Naked City in 1990 which all attracted further worldwide attention. Zorn then recorded on the Japanese DIW and Avant labels before forming Tzadik Records in 1995, where he has been prolific, issuing several new recordings each year and releasing works by many other musicians.

Zorn's early major compositions included several "game pieces", which he describes as "complex systems harnessing improvisers in flexible compositional formats". These works, in which groups of performers improvise while following structural rules, were often named after sports, and include Baseball (1976), Lacrosse (1976), Dominoes (1977), Curling (1977), Golf (1977), Hockey (1978), Cricket (1978), Fencing (1978), Pool (1979), and Archery (1979) which was recorded at Martin Bisi's studio. His most enduring "game piece" is Cobra (1984) which Zorn first released on album in 1987 and released in subsequent versions in 1992, 1994 and 2002, and has revisited in performance many times. These compositions use cues, rules, and strategies to combine and contrast improvisations in various, sometimes extreme, ways, enlisting the talents of many downtown musicians in large ensembles for performances of these pieces. Zorn discusses his history and the musical philosophy behind his early works in the book Talking Music by William Duckworth.[24]

FABULOUS DIAMONDS is the collaborative partnership of psychedelic youths Nisa Venerosa and Jarrod Zlatic. ‘Seven Songs’ is the Melbourne-based inventive duo’s much anticipated debut CD release, following from their previously issued EP which sold out a run of 500 copies on the restricted format of 7” vinyl. ‘Seven Songs’ explores a cavernous 3rd realm of global music. Born out of an avant garde tradition that lies somewhere between classic dub, experimentalism, post punk, free jazz and pop minimalism; Fabulous Diamonds foreground a unique style and intriguing substance that come together in a hypnotic frenzy. Their music will appeal to fans of SUICIDE, THE LIARS and BLACK DICE.
