Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy (1968)


Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy (1968)


? Ranked #23 in Mojo?s ?The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time? - ?Apparently Frank?s favourite, LUMPY GRAVY is certainly a masterpiece. Of sorts.? ?
? Was it that Zappa?s music was so far ahead of its time, or was it just not what we thought a weirdo genius like him should be doing? Either way, since his death, his stature as a serious composer has grown. Lumpy Gravy missed most by a mile because it was the first of Zappa?s ?challenging? orchestral pieces, and not what his audience had come to expect. Performed by the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, it was a lengthy instrumental suite broken up by equally ?challenging? dialogue. On the back cover, Frank looks out and asks, ?is this phase 2 of We?re Only In It For The Money??. No, we don?t think so. ?
