    Three dashing skronk-jazz terrorists from Leeds. .. .. Jazzwise review: .. An obscure Latin curse, nabbed from a Thomas Pynchon short story, translating as "screw it to death" – the name Minghe Morte pretty much sums up the music on this debut disc: confrontational, clownish and clever. Coming out of the ever-creative LIMA stable, it's a furious collision of incongruous musical ideas smashed up against each other to create gore-spattered car-crash jazz. The influence of John Zorn's cartoon thrash-core brutalities is hard to ignore, but there's more to it than that: guitarist Colin Sutton turns out moody post-rock, tricky prog riffage and even dreamy, shoe-gaze indie; and on 'Mothership Parts 1 & 2' the trio locks into UK club culture with some supremely funky approximations of drum 'n' bass and garage house. But it's stand-out track 'Propeller Cage Fights' that epitomises the band: an intense, scatological burst of violent jump cuts and vein-busting skronk in which an hysterical, lunatic narrator proclaims: "we just want you to gag on our jazz." It's the birth of the drool. .. .. - Daniel Spicer
