If I remember correctly, Zappa performed Black Napkins, man was I 
surprised to turn on the tube that morning in 1976 and see Frank.

 Hi, all!!

 Another offering from the Actuel Fest at Amougies on 25th 
 October
   1969.
 This time it is the whole of the Pink Floyd contribution 
with 
 Zappa
   joining
 the group for a mamoth Interstellar Overdrive, preceded 
sy 
 Zappa
   and the
 Floyd tuning up.
 This has been speed corrected, the version that is making 
its 
 rounds
   at
 present is 8-10% too fast.
 We also have here amazing versions of Set the Controls for 
the
   Heart of the
 Sun and Saucerful of Secrets, where we can here the 
reason 
 why
   Zappa
 admired the Floyd so much.

 Anyone any idea where the film of this event has ended up! 
It 
 was
   called
 Music Power.

 This FLAC version also contains mono versions of 
Dylan's Blond 
 on
   Blonde
 and Bringin' it all back home. All artwork for the 
Amougies 
 is
   included.

 There will be a USA branch and a Europe and elsewhere one.
 Get your names down in the usual way, I will send out to 
the 
 two
   first ones
 as soon as possible.

 Here are the details:

 Pink Floyd - 1969-10-25, Festival Actuel, Amougies, 
Belgium,

   initial distribution of the audience tape was mastered

[Zappa-List] Re: New To Group with Questions- VARESE A LA MODE

2006-03-20 Thread sharpdressedmaniac2005
Another interesting work by Varese- Poeme Electronique- modified 
taped and electronic effects created for a World's Fair exhibit I 
believe. Perhaps a clue to Zappa's fascination with taped tidbits 
punctuating his comedy music.
My original exposure to Varese (via Zappa referral) was on vinyl- 
Robert Craft conducting.
BTW, there are two versions of Density 21.5- 21.5 pertaining to the 
density of platinum. Varese composed the piece for the inaugural 
presentation of the platinum flute. There is a detailed analysis of 
the composition found on Wikipedia- look it up as Density 21.5.

   Overstock.Com has two Edgar Varese recordings, both featuring

would

2006-03-20 Thread sharpdressedmaniac2005
Totally true- one can hear Ionisation's influence all over Frank's 
music and he seemed to unashamedly 'borrow' from Igor's Rites Of 
Spring. Have to admit I am partial to Frank's Burnt Weenie Sandwich/
Uncle Meat era. I picked up an interesting disc from Half-Price 
Books called Picantique. Definately recommend it if you haven't 
heard it.
I disposed of my vinyl years ago, but I seem to remember Ameriques 
featuring the horns- the composition was written to express Varese' 
first impressions of America as an immigrant. Poeme is electronic in 
origin. Am waiting as we communicate for my latest shipment of CDs 
from Overstock.com. One of them is Varese with Americques on it. I 
noticed a few days ago that they added another Varese featuring more 
of the compositions we have discussed.
Need to get ready for work. Just finished my vacation and have been 
experiencing some motivational issues this morning. I was self 
employed from 1982 thru Jan. 2005. Sometimes I find it a little much 
working for 'the man'. Gotta go earn more CD $$$.

[Zappa-List] New To Group with Questions-

2006-03-19 Thread sharpdressedmaniac2005
Hey folks, have been a fan since the seventh grade (1969)when I 
traded John Lennon's Life With The Lions for FZ's Absolutely Free. 
Have been a hard core fan since. Only got to see Frank live five 
times (six, if you count the two back to back shows on one night) 
when I came of age in Austin,Texas. Regretfully, never saw him with 
Ian Underwood.
I am finally buying Zappa on CD and am dividing my purchases between 
classics and the flood of posthumous work coming from Ryko etc. 
Here's my 1st question- I bought the Lather box set. When playing it 
on my PC, often the titles appearing are not actually those playing. 
Is this an FZ joke from the grave? I remember when first obtaining 
Absolutely Free on vinyl, experiencing my frustration in that the 
grooves that usually separated the tracks were offset making it 
impossible to start a compostion on cue- later on I would laugh 
thinking this was FZ's way of fucking with the DJs and making you 
listen to his work by the side/concept rather than by the single.
Question 2- Anybody know of any interesting sources for Ian 
Underwood or Don Preston? I have been to Don's site, emailing himn 
from there has provoked no response. I would like to order some of 
his and Bunk Gardners CDs but do not want to send money if the 
operation is defunct.
Question 3- what is a vine?
Question 4- any Varese fan's out there? I see on Overstock.com that 
there will be a Varese biography available there soon.
