Customer Reviews of Heretic, Jeux des Dames Cruelles
ThrashJazz Improvs I really took a liking to naked city when I first heard the self titled release and grand guignol. Mainly because of how it sounded like such an extreme force of organized chaos. What we have here is the same kind of chaos but with little or no organization. Alot of this album just sounds as if each musician is off in his own world improvising and having no care as to what the other musicians are up to. There is a pretty neat highlight where the vocals and the sax have a improv duel but it wasn't quite worth the import price except for the fact that I may as well collect them all at this point.
I would consider avoiding this one until you've bought the self titled album and Grand Guignol. If you were impressed by that like I certainly was. Consider whether you can handle that in improv form. If so then you may have found your gem.
Not quite Torture Garden...
"Heretic" is definitely a good record. It's represents a big change for Naked City, though, and if you're looking for another "Torture Garden" or even "Naked City" or "Radio", you won't find it here. This is more experimental, (at times) ambient, and definitely less structured and edgy than the previous Naked City releases. It seems to be a lot of lick-based noise where you have drums, keyboards, other percussion coming in and out, keyboards, other percussion, nothing planned out or even, shall we say, MUSICAL. Not to say it's a bad record, though, because it's definitely worth having, but don't go buying it hoping to get another "Torture Garden" fix, you'll only be disapointed in that case. There are absolutely no elements of grindcore, surf, or much of anything that made up Naked City's original mission, but do give it a chance, it will grow on you if nothing else.
Actually, this is a GREAT Zorn release
The person who reads this should be, really, a Zorn fan lost in the maze of his output, scared to invest in a Zorn CD like JUDE that just tortures the listener, or something TRULY strange like ABSINTHE, which is beautiful but really difficult to hook onto. Rest assured -- THIS IS A GOOD ONE. It's the one I'd recommend for anyone considering buying one of the Japanese Zorn releases -- RADIO, somehow, never really appealed to me, GRAND GUIGNOL is a bit too DARK for most folk, and ABSINTHE, like I say, is just STRANGE. Not this disk. It's very varied, at times dark, intense,and violent, and elsewhere playful in bizarre and challenging ways. The "Here Come the 7000 frogs" duet between Zorn on alto and Boredoms weirdo vocalist Y. Eye, gibbering, shrieking, and generally flipping out, is priceless. There's also a surprisingly funky cut here, "Fire and Ice (club scene)." Well worth it. But "Is it safe?", you ask me again, reaching for the dental drill. Yeah, sure, if you're adventurous enough. Heh.
