Frank Zappa: Apostrophe
Track Listing:CODE 1. Don't Eat The Yellow Snow
2. Nanook Rubs It 3. St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast 4. Father O'Blivion 5. Cosmik Debris 6. Excentrifugal Forz 7. Apostrophe 8. Uncle Remus 9. Stink-Foot Released in 1974, "Apostrophe" found Zappa producing highly polished jazz-rock, mixing tales of absurd characters with musical showmanship and snarling guitar work. In the first half, it tells a story of eskimo named Nanook. The second half has some of Zappa's most creative work, such as "Stink Foot" and "Cosmik Debris." The lyrics are perhaps a dark shade of Zappa than you usually find, but it was 1974 and that could explain it right there since you should look for deep, hidden meanings in the songs of Frank Zappa, but just not in any conventional way. This particular is only about thirty minutes long, but it's ?unofficially a companion set with Over-night Sensation. The title track, "Apostrophe," is a 6 minute insturment featuring a bass solo (Done by guest Jack Bruce, lead singer and bassist from Cream.) that blasts into one of the most complicated solos ever, with guest Jim Gordon from Derek & The Dominos playing a magnificent drum track.
With this and all Zappa's albums, he will surely go down as one of the most creative and influential artist of all time.
