Free Music Notes for Bongo Fury
Free Music Review: Solid Zappa
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a very good album by Zappa with a little help from Captain Beefheart. It is mostly live taken from a concert (or mostly likely series of concerts knowing Zappa's affinity for splicing tape) in 1975. The musicianship is topnotch as is the case with most every Zappa recording...Beefheart's nonsensical "beat" poetry can be off-putting but taken with a touch of satire works well. If you are a Zappa fan already then this is a purchase you will enjoy, that said this is not an album I would use to get someone introduced to Zappa.Free Music Review: kiss and make up
Hit: 4 Stars
Zappa and the captain maintained a strained relationship and it shows on this album. Zappa's albums are not neccessarily coherent in te way you expect other artists to be. On this occasion however it is a varied album for the wrong reasons. Great tracks (Carolina's hard core ecstacy is seriously underrated) mix with silly tracks (200 years is way too silly) and Beefheart seems strangely out of place. I always think the two of them could have made a better album together.Free Music Review: Zappa/Beefheart
Hit: 4 Stars
Melodic obscurities. Zappa and Beefheart are pure genius together.Ranks with some of Zappa's best only to Apostrophe. Obscure favorite, Sam With The Showing Flat Top Scalp, and classic favorites, Carolina Hard Core Ecstasy, and Muffin Man make this a must buy for hard core Zappa fans!Free Music Review: zappa at the Height of his Power. A must for fans!
Hit: 4 Stars
One of the more accessible of Zappa's albums, it also shows his band at the strongest. Mocking diners, Roger daltrey, the American Bicentennial and, breakfast foods. Enough said.
