Sorry but I've been really busy with uni and this is unlikely to change any time soon. Fortunately there's not a lot happening right now.

RZA's score of "Ghost Dog" has been ranked at number 32 of the 'Top 50 Greatest Musical Moments in Movie History' by Blender magazine (a publication of Maxim). Of particular note was his "Samurai Theme". Here's an excerpt:

"Director Jim Jarmusch says his tale of a modern-day, rap-loving samurai was a collaboration between him, actor Forest Whitaker and the RZA, whose Far East-influenced hip-hop beats fit perfectly, particularly in the rooftop sequence, where the Wu-Tanger's urgent, driving instrumental accompanies the nimble Whitaker as he practices martial arts in a manner part dance,
part religious ritual -- but all deadly."

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot to report right now, but I have some bits and pieces of interest.

For Wu collectors, there's some new 12" vinyls out on the "Digital Recordings" label which are all produced by RZA - Black Knights' "Next Up" & Divison's "Warzone b/w PJ's" these might be white label releases). There's also one from "KB Records" also produced by RZA - Suga Bang Bang's "Ice Cream" & Majestic 12's "Buffalo Gal".

1.4.0. will release his next album around January next year. He's in the middle of recording it now and says it's his best work to date.

Added the production credits to Savior's Day. The album covers will follow when I receive my copy from CDnow.

Other updates: Release Dates, Cameos, B-Sides

Amazon.com have listed "The Wonderful World of Wallabees" already. There's no cover art or tracklisting just yet, but the price is $18.98 US - which is quite expensive for a 'Greatest Hits' album in my opinion.
