Torture Garden (1990)
Torture Garden is a 1990 avant-garde jazz album by Naked City.
Torture Garden is an album by John Zorn's Naked City with vocalist Yamatsuka Eye. The album collects the 42 "hardcore miniatures" recorded by the band. Nine of these short intense improvisations were spread across Naked City and the other 33 would feature on the next album, Grand Guignol. As Zorn explained in 1990:Basically, this Naked City record came out, right. In the middle of it are about ten songs that are really short and hard. I said I wanted to do a record of 40 of those pieces, cause I was really interested in the compression and compactness of form that that music gets to.
