The Art of Memory II, recorded before The Art of Memory and described by Frith as "early 80s weirdness with John Zorn"[1] marked the beginning of a long and fruitful musical partnership between Frith and Zorn.[1] The concerts, recorded using a cassette recorder, were "on the borderline between music and chaos"[1] and featured Frith and Zorn playing a number of unconventional instruments.

AllMusic |     [2] |
AllMusic said "Sometimes they seem to be responding to each other's ideas, other times they're engaged in parallel but unrelated play like two toddlers side by side in a sandbox. Amazingly, there's hardly an uninteresting sound anywhere on this album. Highly recommended to all skronk fans."[2]
