Piledriver 00:46 (John Zorn) [Torture Garden, 1989] ================================================================================================================ John Zorn - Alto Saxophone Bill Frisell - Guitar Fred Frith - Bass Joey Baron - Drums Wayne Horvitz - Synthesizer, Piano Recorded live in Bremen, Germany, 11/3/89 ================================================================================================================ An excellent sounding recording of Naked City performing live in Bremen, Germany on November 3, 1989. This is Naked City at their very best, as Zorn and his incredible group go from a haunting rendition of the theme from Rosemary's Baby, into an amazing version of the Hawaii 5-0 title track, straight into a short hardcore jazz number that Zorn describes as "Gang Green meets Ornette Coleman". From there it's a mash of movie scores, jazzy rock songs, and short grindcore and "thrash jazz" songs that at times sounds like an insane mix of Albert Ayler and Napalm Death. Only Naked City could pull this stuff off, and do it so precisely and effortlessly that it leaves you with your jaw hanging. My personal favorite track, Reanimator, amazes me every time. It starts out in usual Naked City fashion, but soon turns into doomy, morbid sounding madness, with what sounds like each instrument playing a different song. And it somehow works perfectly. I've posted a set by Torture Garden a while back, which was Naked City's Japanese counterpart, but this is the real Naked City. Amazing musicians to say the least, and some of the best drumming you're likely to ever hear in a live setting. Joey Baron is flawless. If you're a Naked City fan, you need to hear this. If you're not, you will be after listening to this set. Thanks again to Ronald. Enjoy. Some notes on these recordings: Back in the Earth originally recorded by Live Skull and released on the band's 1987 album, Dusted, on Homestead Records. The score to Roman Polanski's cult classic Rosemary's Baby written by Krystof Komeda. The title track of the hit TV series Hawaii 5-0 written by Morton Stevens. The score of John Huston's 1963 film The List of Adrian Messenger written by Jerry Goldsmith. Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang composed and conducted by John Barry for the 1965 film Thunderball. The Yodel originally recorded by John Patton and released on the 1966 album Got A Good Thing Goin'. The title track of the TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. written by Jerry Goldsmith. Original score to Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 film Body Heat composed by John Barry. Original score to Norman Jewison's gritty 1965 film Cincinnati Kid (starring Steve McQueen) composed by Lalo Schifrin. I've been on a huge Naked City kick lately. To those interested in checking out the band's studio albums, i would highly recommend the s/t album (a great mix of all Naked City styles), Torture Garden (over 40 tra- cks of complete grindcore madness, featuring the inhuman vocals of Yamatsuka Eye), and my favorite, Radio. To give the beginner an overall feel for the band, i've uploaded the track American Psycho from the Radio album. To me this track represents the band's full potential. 6 minutes showcasing the band at their most creative, and most insane. Check it out, it will make you a believer.
