About The Music
The Mothers of Invention, Frank Zappa's rockin' little teenage combo. I'll bet if they had played at your high school prom, the posters would have all been painted black, and the cheerleaders and football stars would never have been crowned as King and Queen. But who really cares anyway? They're probably all former porn stars, or overweight suburbanites today. Hotcha!

In A Brand New Project/Object

About The Music

This project/object showcases some of Zappa's exceptional guitar playing (both electric and acoustic), and mixes it up with a few synclavier pieces, a live improvised synthesizer excursion, and an electronic/ambient tone poem in the form of the satisfying Cage-inspired 'Beat The Reaper/Waffenspiel.' The proceedings additionally feature a lot of the percussion flourishes and workouts that have always been a hallmark of Frank's compositions. Anything else? Oh yeah, John Lennon and Yoko Ono make a short cameo appearance too.

"The way I see it Barry, this should be a very dynamite show." Play it loud and often.
