Hi guys,
In anticipation of "Dance me This" (Frank Zappa's 100th album!), I've been binging like crazy on "Jazz From Hell". When I first got into Frank, this stuff and the early MOI stuff were barely touched. Well, I've spent the last few years discovering and appreciating the early MOI like crazy, so now it's time I move on to this 'other' undiscovered Zappa period!
So let's talk Zappa-clavier! And please no "I don't like it, it's too sterile, where's the guitar solos" (actually, see St Etienne for that).
To start this discussion off right, here comes a classic PE superlative - I think Night School and G-Spot Tornado are two of the best things FZ ever contributed to music and "Jazz from Hell" is as groundbreaking to electronic music as "Hot Rats", "Uncle Meat", and others were to rock.
Discuss!!
