[Obi]
A specially-priced double-CD reissue, BlackBox couples two of Zorn's most extreme and violent creations with the controversial music and artwork intact.
Torture Garden (1991) presents Naked City's intense and groundbreaking music combining free jazz, bebop, r&b, country, funk, rockabilly, surf, metal, hardcore, grindcore - and usually in the same song!
Leng Tch'e (1992), released only in Japan, and long out-of-print, features Naked City in an agonizingly, slow, brutal 32-minute assault.

[Torture Garden]
All songs published by Theatre Of Musical Optics (BMI)
Recorded by Martin Bisi (Brooklyn), Roger Moutenot (NYC) and Seigen Ono (Tokyo) 1989-1990.
