Eh? :) Hmm, I should precise, I do not buy any Zappa Family Trust release or production (shows). I really think they do something wrong with what they inherited. Then, I usually write and play Free Art Licensed music. Still I'm a totally un-objective Zappa fan (and some other acts, too, like Mr Bungle, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum...), and unfortunately, Zappa's music is not really licensed as free art.... That's the first time since Sebkha-Chott exists (14 years) we go out of our strictly free way, but we felt we had too. > > I only like 60's Zappa - Hot Rats is the last album I can recommend before > his music got a bit too pretentious Oh really? Actually, I'm totally fond of Freak out! (probably my favourite), but do love also many of his lives, including Roxy, obvisouly, but also New York, Filmore (really, I do love that one), or any You can't do that on stage anymore, and finally, I adore Broadway the Hard Way (believe it or not). But I wouldn't tell those ones are pretentious, actually, much more "MUSICAL" like it's said in Thing Fish. > - and that coming from a prog rock > obsessive so I like a good dose of musical one-upmanship, just not the type > Zappa started to churn out post 1970. > > Baby Snakes was a cool film though. Sure it was. There is an incredible bass/keyboards/drums piece at one moment, which is just the perfect example of what improvisation can lead to. Line up is Patrick O'Hearn, Terry Bozzio, and Tommy Mars. Both of them shall be 20 to 25 years old.... utch! > > > On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Felix Homann <linuxaudio@xxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > > > Hi Aurelien, > > > > You're part of that project? Wow!!!
