Is this Phase Two of WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY? Is this "a curiously inconsistent piece which started out to be a ballet, but probably didn't make it?" Well, it's FZ's first orchestral composition album, recorded with a 50-piece orchestra and a few stray Mothers, and the birthplace of "conceptual continuity." The musical themes serve as a starting point for future work. Includes career guidance and secret clues from the voices inside the piano.
Lumpy Gravy contains the earliest recorded orchestral works of Zappa, and are (of course) predominantly cacophonous and dissonant and give more than a nod to his Edgard Varése influence. There is also a bit of loungey-sounding jazz, some cheesey pop, instrumental versions of "Oh No" and "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" and an early study of the classic "King Kong". Plus some noises created with a box invention seemingly designed to turn sound inside out.
