The first time i heard naked city i had a stroke. They'r one of those bands that really defy description, in this story they tend to play surf/jazz/hardcore/avant/free/noise/middle eastern/ polka/ everything all in about 2 minutes. If u have no time for music then this is the cd for you, think about it you could wake up before work and listen to a couple of songs, and again at bedtime wasting no more than a few minutes. John zorn and his cohorts are brilliant on this album it deserves your buy f only because they play music which is genuinely surprising and enlightening . Plus the singer sounds like he's got a sensitive part trapped in a dishwasher- GO boredoms frontman GO!

It's a shame I couldn't nominate 1 or 5 stars, because there are times when the last thing I want is the Black Box. Sometimes, through sheer fault of it's composer's alphabetically challenged surname (John Zorn), it glares at me from the end of my CD shelf and scares me. Torture Garden and Leng T'che last about forty five minutes each. The former features about forty tracks of every genre you can imagine mashed into a bloody pulp. The average track length is about forty five seconds. But what's captivating is that there's enough texture and variation to make distinguishing them easy. And the song titles are quite funny too (Smell of a Critic's Burning Flesh is a personal favourite).
Leng T'che on the other hand contains one track. The practice of Leng T'che is an ancient Japanese method of execution, and translates as 100 cuts. You can see pictures of an unfortunate victim featured in John's choice inlay art. Imagine the intro to some doomy heavy metal track. Then play it for three quarters of an hour. If you can sit through this you're probably dangerous. I'd offer to buy you a drink, but you scare me too much. Stay away.

I first heard Naked City on the Funny Games soundtrack. I didn't rate the film much but was really excited about this crazed noise that sounded like a jazz troupe wrestling a grindcore band whilst falling down a flight of metal stairs. A brief tour of 'tinternet opened a never-before known treasure trove of extreme sounds. This edition has become a welcome edition to my cd collection and is also enjoyed by my 18 month old daughter who jumps around like a tartrazine monkey whenever it's played.

People either like this stuff or they don't. Usually I find it's too jazzy for some or too extreme for others. Read more

Don't let this album escape....
While it may be hard to get past the sheer extremity on display here, this is a truly impressive outing for composer John Zorn. Read more
