A compilation record featuring the first two volumes of "The Classic Guide to Strategy," which were two of Zorn's earliest records (released in 1983 and 1985, respectively). Both volumes are solo Zorn. He plays alto and soprano saxes, Bb and E-flat clarinets, and performs game calls, and he dunks his instruments in water, imitates ducks, and... okay, basically, he uses a lot of experimental techniques. The tracks aren't uninteresting, but at a combined time of seventy-seven minutes, they wear out their welcome. Live, this would be fascinating to witness. On a recording, though, the novelty of: "How is he doing that?" only goes so far.
