This album includes several covers of classical compositions, and thirty-three ‘hardcore miniatures’ previously collected on ‘Torture Garden’ (which also included the nine from Zorn’s initial ‘Naked City’ record). Those who prefer the grindcore side of the band will probably appreciate ‘Torture Garden’ more.
This is also likely a unique case of anything from Zorn being on Bandcamp, as neither he nor his label Tzadik normally publish anything in free access, and didn’t have music available on streaming platforms at all until 2024.
Guest Bob Dorough performs vocals on ‘The Cage’.
Grand Guignol was the name of the Parisian theatre known for violent and gory horror shows.
Given the name of the album, I thought it was a prop. But apparently, it’s from an early collection of medical photography, the Burns Archive. Just like the ‘Naked City’ album used a photo by Weegee. Zorn even changed labels over having gory cover art.
yeah, it’s a safe bet that it’s real, since naked city is named from the book of actual murder taken by Weegee.
I mentioned that in my original post, but it’s my longstanding suspicion that people don’t see the text particularly on crossposts. E.g. in Voyager.
If it’s no secret, what client do you use, and do you see the original post text on a crosspost?
it’s less of a tech fail, and more of a reading comprehension, “verbal” diarrhea fail. And collective reinforcement of ideas?
Eh, I still gotta do something about the crosspost text not being visible in some clients. Plus, of course, the OP is a different album from what I linked, so I’m just assuming on my part that you’ve seen both.
