More on Torture Garden
Description from Wikipedia:
Torture Garden is an album by John Zorn's band Naked City featuring Yamatsuka Eye on vocals. The album is a compilation of the "hardcore miniatures" that were also be released on Naked City and Grand Guignol. Unlike other Naked City albums, there are no breaks between the screaming, the seemingly random saxophone blasts and grindcore. The album was originally released on Shimmy Disc in 1989. Following controversy over Naked City's album covers it was re-released in 1996 on Tzadik Records with Leng Tch'e simply as Black Box. The tracks were also released as part of Naked City: The Complete Studio Recordings in 2005.
The name for the collection comes from Le Jardin des supplices, an 1899 Decadent novel by Octave Mirbeau.
