Free Music Review: Melodies and orchestral works from Venus
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't be fooled by the awful cover or by the fact that it is a cut and paste thing did by Zappa with different materials taken here and there in his production vaults. This album is magnificient, nothing less. This is an album from Zappa where you can really appreciate and enjoy his immense compositional and arranging talents (and even his quite unique guitar style, still "stuck in time" here). I read that in the box set Lather you can find pure instrumental versions of the sunged compositions you will find here. That are three. I haven't yet listened to them but their vocal versions contained here are still stellar. I could easily imagine how they should sound as pure instrumentals. Infact the voice here is used almost as a pure lead instrument. There are words, lyrics, but the melodies are so strong that they rules in a sense. You can imagine the voice from Thana Harris as a sax maybe, playing the melody .. and what melodies! Venusian melodies! This is another album I would suggest to the guys out there who are searching in the wide Zappa's production for his best music, not his lyrics, the freak attitude or the goofy things. This is a serious classical instrumentals album with even some nice Jazz inside ("Flambay", "The ocean is the only solution" which is the most earthly tune .. even the acoustic number "Sleep dirt" is quite unusual .. ). What is really amazing is the amount of creativity and the vision of music Zappa had. Here you can appreciate those things clearly. This is one of his best "instrumentals albums" in my opinion. So good I'll buy the Lather box next time just to have even the unsunged versions of these classics of modern music. Exceptional!
