:clap: I liked it. It's happy but not in a ponce-y way.

I knew that side of him. :biggrin:

Here's one of my favourite Zappa orchestral works. Not the best quality but the only one I could find. The official release is on the LSO vol.I album.

Well I know this one too. :biggrin:

I should. This is about the only album of his music I don't have..and as you know he recycled his music in so many versions there are a lot!

I can't find the track N-lite from Civilization Phaze III. :(

That whole album is uniquely special. Lumpy Gravy for the 90s and beyond. Avant garde 'classical' music orchestrated on a Synclavier.

I just wonder at the music Frank would have made if he had lived.
