No Part Of It rereleases an older release by Arvo Zylo, the illustrious “333” album. This album has been poetically reviewed by jliat in Vital Weekly 774. A second part of this concept/project was a DVDR where 33 artists got the original album and reworked, remixed, manipulated or whatever the sounds. This particular DVDR was, of course, also reviewed in Vital Weekly (1064), and even the CDR with what I think was the ‘best of’ of those remixes on the DVDR was reviewed in Vital Weekly 1174. So I’m caught between a rock and a hard place: Should I review this album? With the added links, you can read all about it already, and I can focus my time on new names or new releases that didn’t get any attention yet. On the other hand, this is the first time these original sounds are available on a glass-mastered CD, and after listening, it’s not too bad at all. Honestly, I hear lots of jazzy/improv influences and patterns, and if you read more of my reviews, that is not my thing. So, honestly, I am sort of incapable of writing something intelligent about the content. The compositions have their moments, but the organ tingling in the “quicksand”- the track is nerve-wracking to my ears. So yeah… While I admire Arvo’s output on radio-based releases, this one doesn’t do it for me. Try before you buy and use the Bandcamp pre-listen option.
