- Black Vomit is a live album by experimental music group Wolf Eyes and saxophonist Anthony Braxton. It was recorded on May 21, 2005, at the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in Victoriaville, Quebec, and was released by Les Disques Victo in 2006. Braxton first heard Wolf Eyes at a 2004 festival in Sweden. After the concert, he bought all the CDs at the band's merchandise table. The following year, at the annual Victoriaville festival, Braxton was scheduled to play in a duo format with guitarist Fred Frith on Friday, May 20 (documented on Duo (Victoriaville) 2005), and in a concert with his sextet on Sunday, May 22. On Saturday, during an event that was co-coordinated by Thurston Moore, Braxton arranged to sit in with Wolf Eyes for their set, resulting in Black Vomit. The album consists of two tracks. Following "The Mangler," roughly 27 minutes long, Wolf Eyes member John Olson announced that the band had time for another "song," and asked Braxton whether he would prefer "Leper War" (from the album Human Animal) or "Black Vomit" (from Burned Mind). Braxton's response was immediate; he can be heard shouting "Black Vomit!" (The track is listed as "Rationed Rot" on the CD.) Regarding his interaction with Wolf Eyes, Braxton reflected: "they felt like family immediately. The communication was immediate." Concerning Braxton, John Olson stated: "Nate [Young] asked if he wanted to jam. And sure enough, he did – and his language on the saxophone is just insane... There is nothing he can't do on the horn. It was a perfect match." (en)
