I like Patton, as well, just saying.
This is true. Perhaps Zorn brings out the best in Patton, the same can be said for several musicians he has worked with like Uri Caine or Dave Lombardo.

I checked out that "A Capella" album, and though ATFAV moderately mirrors it in theory, I found it to be a heavier and stranger album overall. Just my opinion though, maybe I listened to the wrong tracks.

Another dank avant garde band is Zu.
