Glad you liked it BB! I thought you would.....All the NC albums are great, although, apart from the one you got, the rest are all only available on
Japanese import, or at least they were, and have now all been deleted and are only available on this -
Naked City : The Complete Studio Recordings
Probably Zorn's most popular and most controversial musical project, the music of Naked City has been debated, analyzed, adored and reviled by fans,
critics and academics alike, but nothing can replace the experience of hearing it in all its frightening glory. Most people know this music from the
single domestic release on Nonesuch, but the major portion of their studio recordings were issued from 1989 - 1993 on the hard to find Japanese labels
Avant and Toy's Factory. This long awaited set pulls together all of their recorded output - seven studio albums ( including five released only in
Japan ) - on 5 CDs in beautiful new packaging, with a special 100 page scrapbook of Naked City ephemera, including photos, posters, designs, scores,
musical sketches, written tributes by members of the Naked City family and pages from Zorn's original notebooks showing the development of the music
that drove so many people out of their minds. Zorn's music at its most brutal and uncompromising best.
Definitely worth getting though, but it is expensive, and if order online because the damn things so heavy alot of places sting you with postage and
handling charges on top.... |
