IMHO, the greatest Naked City album of the bunch; bombastic, arty, a whole world onto itself, a hidden lair of vivisection like it’s art. If you get one Naked City album, this is the one. Criminal these Naked City albums originally released in Japan are not on vinyl.

These first 8 tracks pair very nicely with the other 30 something tracks which are very different. The first half is very creepy and atmospheric while the rest is just brutal genre crossing cut up madness that naked city is famous for. These last tracks are basically a re issue of Torture Garden in another context, which I don't mind at all!
