Way older news:

A new track from 'The Zygmont Jazz Trio Quartet Ensemble' has been released! Check out Dismissive Identification Brigade.

DOLEMITION IS DONE! We're giving it a little once over but the Zgymont Jazz Trio Quartet Ensemble's contribution to the White Dolemite (https://soundcloud.com/white-dolemite and https://www.facebook.com/WhiteDolemite) compilation album is pretty much done. It just needs a little tinkle, like a new born baby with stage fright, the tiniest dribble of time and 17 months of work is over. Next week, it gets sent to be mastered. 

The Zygmont Jazz Trio Quartet Ensemble had a slight reunion last week. One new album track came out of the session. Thats now a total of 10 beautiful tracks! The album cover is being tirelessly worked. It looks fucking great :)

Older news:

Old The Ear of Dr Yes tracks get a fresh airing! Taken from a taping of a dusty vinyl, these tracks, not heard since 1984, are here for your delectation... Ceefax B Movie - http://dembo.bandcamp.com

The version on Bandcamp has one extra track than the version here on Soundcloud!

The session drummer we hired has finished his work on the new Zygmont single, and the audio is now being polished up to fit our needs. The light at the end of the tunnel gets closer. Stay tuned!

And in case it was missed... Max Dembo has released ambient soundscape "Zygmophobia" to stream or download at http://dembo.bandcamp.com.

Usual blurb: We are currently working on a new ambient jazz noise album with The Zygmont Jazz Trio Quartet Ensemble, a new Ear of Dr Yes album, and a remix album featuring some of the most famous songs of all time, rendered 'unlistenable'*.

Here's what the blurb said when this project had died:

Witness the resurrection. Witness the witless blathering.

Witness the witless.

This was a 3 (or 4) year collaboration between Max Dembo and Dr Yes (depending on who you talk to and what they were on at the time). Years 1 and 2 were very prolific, with an emphasis on quantity over quality that everyone was happy with. Year 3 looked very promising until the unthinkable happened - the emphasis shifted to quality.

Year 3 only produced 3 new tracks and year 4 yielded just one fresh aural vapour. 
Max Dembo spent the next 3 years recovering from the ordeal (memoirs 'The Involuntary Ear' coming soon) and eventually returned with several remixes, a few joint projects and a snail pace of dissatisfaction. That great explorer of the unknown, the hypocratic ape - Dr Yes - was never heard from again...

However, rumours have recently surfaced that The Ear may have unearthed unheard recordings and may be investing reasonable research and development funding in an attempt to declassify these documents into convenient downloadable chunks.

Intercepted messages, leaked and decrypted, periodically appear in the the bio-ether, we will bring them to you APESAP...
