Free Music Notes for Apostrophe (')
Free Music Review: Another perfect gem from the man himself!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Geez where do you start? I was already a longtime Zappa fan when this came around. Frank took another twisted turn and I took it with him. For the purists this may be a little too funny and a little too popular, but I think that was as much FZ as the deep love of do wop, Edgar Varese and other bizarre musical forms. Yeah, I know it is very approachable and some hate it for that but there it is. You should get the heavier FZ stuff as well, but this is always fun treat sort of like desert at the end of a great meal.
The reviewer "childhood distorted..." did make me realize that all of Zappa's music is like a Zen koan, shocking the mind into awareness. FZ I am sure would find that last sentence very funny. Great album!!!!
As an aside, I came out of the hippie era--peace, love, everyone is at heart a good person, etc. The always cynical FZ turned out to be right with his line from Stink Foot, "you aint got no friends and all the others they hate ya". I think he meant it as humorous but I have come to believe he just knew something we didn't.
Apostrophe (') Poster
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, Over-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 Zappa classics as "Cosmik Debris" and "Stink-Foot." --Andrew BoscardinImported from Japan by Rykodisc
