U.F.O. OR DIE

U.F.O. or Die originally started life as Hasty Snail Baby, and consisted of Eye, Yoshimi (pre-Boredoms), and Yoshikawa. Eye started the project so he could play guitar, but later replaced it with a sampler. Yoshikawa quit and was replaced by Katsumi, the bassist for Omoide Hatoba, so the name was changed.

JOHN ZORN & YAMANTAKA EYE--Complete Live in Hong Kong & China 1995, Places Including Shenzen, Guangzhou & Fushan (Sound Factory (Hong Kong)--SFCD:018--100 CD set) Unreleased (originally scheduled for Spring 1997)

Here's a description of the set according to Cory Li of Sound Factory (from an E-mail sent to a friend of mine, exactly as quoted):

"A speacial numbered limited edition of 100-CD per set with every CD having one song or more, some movement or a few tones; each CD length ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes, sometimes full-length. It will be kept as a secret & surprise when you receive it! Arranged, edited, mixed, re-arranged, re-edited, remixed & mastered into this project by JOHN ZORN & YAMANTAKA EYE personally. Therefore, lots of unexpected & "new" music/sound will be created from their touch ups. It won't be a strictly "live recording" album. Packed in a special roll-like kabub & warped with shrinkwrap all over into a hard cardboard box; each CD printed accordingly in rainbow colours; on top of the CD set (which serves as the cover) is the authorized signatures, printed edition no., and a statement from the artists, plus a few exclusive photos. 1000 sets available only, and strictly no repressing."

Here's some other texts about the box, including an explanation about its non-existence:

Ad in The Wire of July 96 (07/05/96):
"John Zorn + Yamantaka Eye "Live in China" 100 CDs set" The most ambitious and profound project recorded live during their 95 Chinatour: personally arranged & edited by Zorn, to be released as 100 CDs sets in an limited edition of 1000 with different length of music on each CD. Available on 5th September 96 from Sound Factory Records, 3/F, Seaview Centre, 139-141 Hoi Bun Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Tel (852) 2345 8678 Fax (852) 2763 5755 e-mail: sfactory@speednet.net. pre-release mail order: US $250 (inc. P&P registered) after release mail order: US $350 (inc. P&P registered)."

Thanks to Brian Beuchaw for announcing its delayed release (09/05/96):
"Actually, according to Sound Factory (I emailed 'em about it), it's delayed until at least spring 97. :-("

Thanks to Barry Gilbert for extra precision (11/18/96):
"I spoke with Zorn at last night's show in Boulder. He said this set would be delayed until probably the fall. He also said that the shortest CD's would be about one second long."

Thanks to Steve Smith for the curious bit of info (08/30/97):
"What I wonder is, what happened to all the people who pre-paid for the 100 CD Zorn/Eye box, now that Sound Factory is officially defunct (a side-effect of Hong Kong's absorption into China, and not rumor but fact)?"
