I'm amazed this is on the website, since this is mostly jazz. That being said, this is utterly brilliant and a very significant step towards the rich avant-garde metal scene prominent today. Thanks to Introspekrieg for filling another one of my gaps in musical knowledge.

Uhh... I'm pretty sure the band's name is Naked City and not John Zorn...
I fail to find any official info though

I know I am a couple of years late, but Naked City is a project of John Zorn. Calling this album a John Zorn album, is like calling Electric Ladyland a Jimi Hendrix album and not a Jimi Hendrix Experience album.

Well, they do the same with Devin Townsend.

Man, when this record came out I listened to it almost every day for probably 3 years. It had a profound effect on the way I saw music.

Not all of Zorn's projects are masterpieces by any means, but this one was I think. This album and Torture Garden especially.
