REVIEW;

2009-03-14 USER NAME JR_60;

this is one of my best favorite Zappa's album equal to "Freak Out" for me!! i prefer F.Zappa & The Mothers of Invention's music on his all musical carrier... because after Mothers of Invention, his music style became more "rule" (not "direct"), so he could get lots of many great musicians who had such great technic by many money... but music became boring for me... lots of Zappa fans talk about how difficult to playing his music... but i'm not interested in this kind of thing about his music... i'm interested in his unique musical idea like mixture any kind of music with humor!! i've never felt any "serious" feeling from his music even the music are like so abstruse!!
i love The Mothers of Invention that means early Zappa music for me, because some musicians in the band don't have such great technic... but the band is more really band than late Zappa band (even middle of 70s) that was just unit of great musicians... if he could continue this line-up until the end of his life, his music would be different at least a little... i guess the music would be more better... i think Zappa's tragedy was one thing he couldn't trust and respect other musicians... so i guess he had to be the absolute ruler in the band... i read J.Garcia's interview, then he said he was the ruler in the band in the beginning of Grateful Dead, so he kicked Phil Lesh after the show why J. Garcia didn't like Phil's playing at that night... but he changed mind in one day, so he gave space to other members and he tried to be one part of the band, then he said the everything became great!! so, i like The Mothers of Invention!
well i'd love to follow his idea that music needs humor... even i don't have such great technic like Zappa band... but i have always tried to mix many music with humor... even you feel serious music, i put some humor into my music, especially AMT's music... one of AMT & TMP UFO's new album "Are We Experimental?" are really like this!! of course it's like something are parody of Jimi Hendrix and so-called "experimental music"! but also we mixture many kind of music with humor! of course not just humor!! don't misunderstand it! probably the parts what you will feel humor are serious for us, the parts what you will feel serious are humor for us!! anyway we hope you'll understand our idea when you'll listen to the new album!!
i love this album "Uncle Meat" a lot, also i like the film too! but i prefer this dbl LP set , i don't prefer dbl CD set... because Zappa added lots of bonus tracks (about 45 min.?) when it was reissued on dbl CD set... but the bonus tracks were pickup from the films... i think the order of dbl LP set is perfect as "album"... probably ive already listened to this dbl LP set more than 200 times in my life... although i also have dbl CD set too, i've played it maybe 5 times in my life! hahaha... i'm sorry... maybe idon't understand Zappa's mind!? hahaha... it doesn't matter!!

Frank Zappa was one of the most accomplished composers of the rock era; his music combines an understanding of and appreciation for such contemporary classical figures as Stravinsky, Stockhausen, and Varèse with an affection for late-'50s doo wop rock & roll and a facility for the guitar-heavy rock that dominated pop in the '70s. But Zappa was also a satirist whose reserves of scorn seemed bottomless and whose wicked sense of humor and absurdity have delighted his numerous fans, even when his lyrics crossed over the broadest bounds of taste. Finally, Zappa was perhaps the most prolific record-maker of his time, turning out massive amounts of music on his own Barking Pumpkin label and through distribution deals with Rykodisc and Rhino after long, unhappy associations with industry giants like Warner Brothers and the now-defunct MGM.

Zappa became interested in music early and pursued his studies in school, up through a six-month stint at Chaffey College in Alta Loma, CA. He scored a couple of low-budget films and used the money to buy a low-budget recording studio. In 1964, he joined a local band called the Soul Giants, which, over the course of the next two years, evolved into the Mothers, who played songs written by Zappa. The band was signed to the Verve division of MGM by producer Tom Wilson in 1966 and recorded its first album, a two-LP set called Freak Out!, which introduced Zappa's interests in both serious music and pop as well as his scathing wit. (Verve insisted on adding "of Invention" to the band's name.)

Subsequent albums extended the musical and lyrical themes of the debut, and they came frequently. Three albums, for example, hit the charts in 1968: We're Only in It for the Money, a Mothers album that made fun of hippies and Sgt. Pepper; Lumpy Gravy, a Zappa solo album recorded with an orchestra; and Cruising With Ruben & the Jets, on which the Mothers played neo-doo wop. Toward the end of the '60s, Zappa expanded the Mothers lineup, turning more toward instrumental jazz-rock, much of which displayed his technically accomplished guitar playing. But by the end of the decade, he had broken up the band.

In 1970, however, Zappa reassembled a new edition of the Mothers, featuring former Turtles lead singers Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan as frontmen. The lineup moved the group more in the direction of X-rated comedy, notably on the album Fillmore East: June 1971, but it was short-lived: during a performance at the Rainbow Theatre in London, Zappa was pushed from the stage by a demented fan and seriously injured.

While he recovered, Zappa released several albums, then he re-formed the Mothers with himself as lead singer and made pop/rock albums such as Over-nite Sensation that were among his best-selling records ever. By the end of the '70s, Zappa was recording on his own labels, distributed in some cases by the majors, and he had attracted a consistent cult following for both his humor and his complex music. (Zappa's band, in fact, became a training ground for high-quality rock musicians, much as Miles Davis' was for jazz players.)

In the '80s, Zappa gained the rights to his old albums and began to reissue them, at first on his own and then through the pioneering Rykodisc CD label. He wrote his autobiography and embarked on a world tour in 1988. That was the end of his live performing, except for such isolated appearances as one in Czechoslovakia at the invitation of its post-Communist president, Zappa fan Vaclav Havel. In late 1991, it was confirmed that Zappa was seriously ill with cancer. Nevertheless, his schedule of album releases continued to be rapid. Zappa died in December of 1993, with a number of posthumous releases to follow. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
