A masterpiece in hardcore excess, Torture Garden fully demonstrates how any number of genres can be raped and turned into something almost completely new. "Speedball" demonstrates this perfectly as Zorn and Co. straddle the line between country, surf-rock, punk, noise-rock, and jazz.
Top it off with Tamatsuka Eye's wonderfully chaotic chatter, and you have a collection of hardcore miniatures that stands as tall as a giant cyclops (which of course, shoots lasers).

Torture Garden is actually a compilation CD containing all of the 'hardcore miniatures' from Naked City's self-titled record and their subsequent release Grand Guignol. Thus, if you own those two albums, there's no point in having this one as well-- there's no new content here. However, if you have never heard Naked City, or if you don't own one of the two aforementioned records, then Torture Garden is certainly worthy of your time. It's a 22-minute blast of combined jazz and grindcore that is wholly entertaining for the entirety of its short runtime.

I don't know why Zorn wanted Yamatsuka to participate that often... however 42 songs in 26 minutes work best as waking up music

The ideas are ambitious, but the sound is completely unappealing and uninviting.
