"Guitar, Drum & Bass" was released on Avant, so it might be more 
expensive/difficult to find than if it were on Tzadik. Derek is as good as 
always, but Ninj sucks big time, so the result is very disappointing in the 
end. The CD to track down is "Play Backs", recenlty out on the Bingo label, 
where Derek plays along beats/tracks prepared by Sasha Frere Jones, John 
Herndon, Bundy K. Brown, Tied and Tickeld trio, etc. Excellent stuff this time.

Another great record to check out is "And" by Derek Bailey, Pat Thomas and 
Steve Noble, on the French Rectangle label. We're getting further away from 
IDM here but there is a DJ playing on this record :) You can try to get more 
info from the Rectangle website at http://rectangle.org.
