As they say, there's screaming, and then there's Yamatsuka Eye. Forget the subtlety of the first half - this is thrash jazz! Yamatsuka Eye of the Boredoms provides vocals.
And then for something completely different: 32 thrash'n'burn numbers lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to a whopping 1:14, most with humorous titles (some favorites: "Jazz Snob: Eat Shit," "Perfume of a Critic's Burning Flesh," "Pigfucker"). Other modern pieces follow, with works by Scriabin, Ives, Messian, and Di Lassus. Here, after a 17 minute, moody title piece, all low rumbling punctuated by drum thrashes and distorted screams, is a very straight transcription of Debussy's "Cathedrale Engloutie" featuring some very lovely, watery guitar work from Bill Frisell.
Naked City's follow up to their self-titled album is a departure from the New York noir that they had perfected.
