Listening to Civilization Phaze III for the first time since my stroke. Still don't know quite how I feel about it. I like all the musical component. I'm not averse to the notion of continuing the "piano people" saga. Maybe I just need to let it roll.

Perhaps my problem (insofar as there may be one) is scale? The fact that the album is teo generously apportioned CDs, which is much broader than Lumpy Gravy. Yes, that may be it.

The more I think about it, the more I tend to believe that Frank Zappa was a serious composer working in long forms utilizing several native musical styles invented in the United States and peppered with dashes of Stravinsky and Varésé.



Uncle Meat, 200 Motels, and as the expanded editions of his records that have been coming out display, these are serious works, granted with an element of absurdism.
