I am VERY happy to hear this. The RZA is one of the greatest electronic music producers working today, period. Bjork is one of the greatest artistic/creative forces around today too. Usually when two artists of this magnitude get together, everyone is disappointed. But with these two very experienced collaborators, I don't think I will be disappointed at all. There's a Tricky single from Maxinquaye (I think it's Hell is Round the Corner) which was done in collaboration with the Gravediggaz. The track "Tonight is a Special Night" is a next-generation hip hop masterpeice. It seems to be a studio jam between Tricky and the Gravediggaz, but to me it is mostly just the RZA goin' off (and allowing Tricky and Gatekeeper and Undertaker to occasionally take a break from their ganja and mumble a word or two.) The RZA himself busts a few lyrics, mostly consisting of a sinister, "Put your hands up in the air/Tonight is a special night.", delivered with trademark wu-tang syncopation taken to a level I've never heard before. It's really creepy, but funny as hell too. Not every single thing RZA has done is great, but you must realize that he has probably (almost single handedly) produced ALL the music on about 150 songs in the past two years. When's this album due? Anyone know? -Chris Fahey

I think praise for RZA is probably falling on deaf ears on this List :( Im always thoroughly impressed with everything RZA does, the music on the Ghostface album is incredible (the lyrical content sadly is not). Has anyone heard the Cappadonna LP?

I'm pretty sure that this song was on the Crow 2 soundtrack a while back. ************************************************************************* * "Anything that makes your mother cry is fun.

Don`t know when the new Björk-album will be out but don`t expect anything before the end of the year. RZA will fly to a studio near Barcelona in the second week of April to start producing with Björk. However, the new Wu-Tang album (2xCD enhenced) i scheduled for the second week of May. Heiko
