Review
by Bradley Torreano


From the violent cover art to the Japanese text inside the album, at first glance one might mistake Torture Garden for a fetishist soundtrack. But jazz madman John Zorn and Boredoms frontman Yamatsuka Eye assembled another group of open-minded musicians to carry on their vision of grindcore and jazz uniting. Distinguished musicians Wayne Horovitz and Bill Frisell help Zorn and Eye take this from a curious side project to a fantastic metal band. Songs blur together but never get boring, no lyrics are actually sung, and few songs last longer than a minute. It also never takes itself seriously, a nice relief from Zorn's heavy-handed ambient collaborations. This would make a great introduction to the noise/jazz efforts that this group of musicians pioneered in the early '90s.


In the event that this item should sell for over $100 there will be an additional charge for insurance so please wait for invoice to be sent to you before issuing your prompt payment!

This specific title is part of a 5,000 piece record collection I am in the process of unloading and comprised wholly of fringe and underground music of all stripes. Punk, Post-Punk, KBD, SXE, Industrial, Experimental, Metal, Electronica, Goth, Free Jazz, Jazz, Sound Effects, etc.... so check back as I'll be posting on average 50 pieces or more a week. All records in this collection run primarily as being NEAR MINT with many being more to the top end of the MINT spectrum and with very few pieces being anything less then VERY GOOD PLUS.... Tons of rarities, all must go!!!!
