Tom Hasslan (guitars)

Axel Skalstad (drums) 

Jørgen Mathisin (saxophone)

Their name is taken from a mythical creature out of a popular Norwegian children's song, 

a cross between an elephant and a crocodile, 

"a lumbering trumpeting beast with a fearsome array of teeth in its snapping jaws...".

* The unidentified coda was Qiyyum from Book Beriah Volume 5: Gevurah by Abraxis,
one of the final 92 John Zorn Masada compositions found in his 9-disc The Book Beriah.




Abraxis features

Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz - Bass
(Rashanim, Cyro Baptista's Banquet of the Spirits, Pharaoh's Daughter),

 Aram Bajakian - Guitar
(Kef, Sean Noonan)

Eyal Maoz - Guitar
(Edom, 9Volt, Hypercolor)

Kenny Grohowski - Drums

 I also recommend that you seek out the first 2 Zorn associated Abraxis albums; Abraxis - Book of Angels Volume 19 and Psychomagia. The members (minus Grohowski) are also invloved with the amazing Zion80 with guitarist Jon Madorf.

I don't want to buy it,

RFW

"On February 1st, 1974, I moved out of my parents house and into the top floor of a 4th story walk-up rent-controlled apartment in East Boston (similar to the one pictured above) with two of my oldest and dearest friends Tony Leonti and Vincent (Dr. Boom Baa) Moretti. Then and now, we always have a great time playing records together in the Archives. Our individual picks are listed by the selector and are not in running order.
These guys are the most obvious and guilty
of all the Usual Suspects and I'll stop loving them when they
grow the fuck up!

"free your funky mind"

RFW

*The sound-collage coda was Blame The Media by Project Data Control and can be found on The Droplift Project compilation CD, released in July, 2000, which was "droplifted" or reverse shoplifted into chain music stores allowing the artist's work to appear next to "legitimate" releases.

You can find it here at the wonderful Free Music Archives site!

**"...No form of government has yet been discovered by which cruelty can be wholly prevented. Subordination supposes power on the one part, and subjection on the other, and if power be in the hands of men, it will sometimes be abused. The vigilance of the supreme magistrate may do much, but much will still remain undone. He can never know all the crimes that are committed, and can seldom punish all that he knows."

Dialogue by the character Imlac in the novel Rasselas written by Samuel Johnson in the year 1759, when he was fifty years of age.
