Apostrophe (')»rank: 3120par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Thanks to the surprise radio airplay of 'Don't Eat that Yellow Snow,' Apostrophe introduced a whole new audience to the music of Frank Zappa in the early '70s. Like its companion set, 0ver-Nite Sensation, this album found Zappa producing highly polished jazz-rock, mixing tales of absurd characters with musical showmanship and snarling guitar work. The first half of the album is a sort of mini-concept album, relating the adventures of an Eskimo named Nanook, and the second half features such ... |

Sheik Yerbouti»rank: 6439par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne of his most popular and infamous albums, Sheik Yerbouti finds Frank Zappa unleashing his unique brand of sociological documentation on the disco-injected culture of the late '70s. From crises of sexual identity to the rhythmically challenged, the songs are hilarious and occasionally close to home (The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith didn't care much for 'Jewish Princess'). The satire is some of Zappa's most scathing and unsympathetic, and the music is equally loud and unrelenting--especially when showcasing the talents of ... |

Joe's Garage (2CD)»rank: 3149par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The Central Scrutinizer is out to protect you from the harmful effects of that horrible force called music. Such is the premise of Joe's Garage, Frank Zappa's three-act concept album that explores the world of groupies, governments, sex toys and Catholic school girls. As always, Zappa's aim is true and his scope wide, following Joe (voiced by his long-time co-conspirator, lke Willis) as he starts a band, loses his girl, falls in love with a robot and tries to find his ... |

Roxy & Elsewhere»rank: 6248par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This mostly live set features Zappa performing with the popular Mothers of lnvention line-up of the early 70's--including jazz-funk meister George Duke, Napolean Murphy Brock on saxophone, and Ruth Underwood on percussion. Highlights include the souped-up funk of 'Pygmy Twylyte,' burning renditions of favorites 'Penguin in Bondage' and 'More Trouble Every Day,' and the hilarious monster movie tribute 'Cheepnis.' Duke steals the show on several tracks, and Zappa's guitar work and 'master of ceremonies' showmanship is in top form. --Andrew Boscardin ... |

Strictly Commercial, the Best»rank: 6367par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Frank Zappa 101. As close as anyone has come to a definitive greatest hits set, Strictly Commercial manages to encapsulate much, if not most, of a career that deliberately defied any such attempts. This is the most accessible single collection of Zappa's music available, containing familiar ditties such as 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow,' 'Joe's Garage,' and the radio hit, 'Valley Girl.' Those skeptical of his guitar work will most certainly find the included selections, 'Sexual Harassment in the Workplace,' ... |

Over-Nite Sensation»rank: 7756par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue::Best known for the infamous 'Dinah-Mo-Hum'--a tale of sexual depravity and bovine perspiration-- 0ver-Nite Sensation is a flawlessly executed collection of jazz-rock Frank Zappa classics. The seven-song set, which includes backup vocals by Tina Turner and the lkettes, equally showcases Zappa's unique penchant for storytelling and the abilities of his studio-musician sidemen.

Andrew Boscardin Chronique amazon.fr:0ver-Nite Sensation regroupe très judicieusement quelques-uns des plus ... |

Lather»rank: 6546par: Frank Zappa
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Recorded in 1976, this mythic three-CD opus finally sees the light of day to the joy of Zappaphiles. lt almost goes without saying that there's a wealth of silliness, grotesque humor, and freeform genius in these three hours of wacked-out tunes about muffins, prunes, geese, and the legendary lllinois Enema Bandit. Abandon all logic ye who enter here--an all-too-rare warning at a time when Zappa still rates as a lone wolf howling against conformity. --Jeff Bateman |
