 Rating: - Holidays in BerlinThis was just about the last of the original MOI albums("Weasels" was released after they and FZ split)and it is my all time favourite album,not just by FZ but by anybody. Two covers of 1950s doowop(WPLJ and Valarie)are the bread,the sandwich is the remainder,fantastic instrumentals showing both the Mothers in full flight(mostly in the studio,but some bits,ie the guitar solo in "Holiday in Berlin Full Blown",spliced in from live shows),FZ's blossoming as a guitarist,and lastly his abilities as a composer and bandleader.Highlights are hard to pick out as the music is so good,but "Holiday In Berlin Full Blown","Aybe Sea"(a rare example of FZ playing auocustic guitar)and the piano solo followed by the full force of the MOI at the begining ...

The piano prelude to 'The Little House I Used To Live In', played with astonishing presence and beauty by Don Preston. If the rest of the album were crap it would still be worth buying just for this moment alone. But it's not crap. It's quite excellent an an essential addition to any Zappa explorer's collection. Rating: - God! This IS a tasty little sucker!This is one of the first Mothers albums I heard, and it's partly responsible for setting me on the deranged course of acquiring every available recorded note of FZ's music. It's title comes from the fact that the album is topped and tailed by two lovely doo-wop tunes, which enclose the more adventurous music within. The highlight is the 18 minute "Little House I Used to Live In" which features solos by Ian Underwood, Don "Sugarcane" Harris, Don Preston and FZ (on organ) as well as more organised, composed music. Other high points are "Holiday in Berlin", the full-blown version of which features an extraordinary guitar solo from Zappa, as does "Theme from Burnt Weeny Sandwich" - a wah-wah and percussion extravaganza. A lot of FZ fans like to listen ... Read More: Rating: - A Good SandwichMMmm, this is a tasty little sucker as the sleeve says. Not sure what a burnt weeny sandwich is? A great Zappa and The Mothers album though. Starts and ends with sleazy pop songs and in between ventures far afield. Lots of great Zappa guitar and lots of varied musical styles, the trademark of this period of Zappas output An essential purchase. Go to it. Rating: - You have GOT to have thisWhat a very curious thing this is. There are hints abounding that this actually is the signpost marking the very apex of Zappas real creative flux, and the people he was with were never quite replaced functionally later, whatever you might think (except Ruth Underwood, but that goes without saying). This is about the closest we ever get to Uncle Meat without a direct parallel. If Zappa hadn't been compelled to go into rock (which wasn't that certain a thing anyhow), listen to Aybe Sea and think about what this guy could really do on a good day. That's for starters. I listen a great deal to Webern and Berio, and Schoenburg, and I must say that Igor's boogie is one of the most clever pieces of pure music I have ever heard. I downloaded a midi ... Read More: |
