Hi Folks, Roddus here, thought I would like to get one in quickly now that Chuntao is back with us and posting again. How I have missed her awesome Rare posts. Me being a big Frank Zappa/Mothers Of Invention Fan, I have over the years collected most of his releases, but one that has eluded me was some thing he did towards the very end of his life. "Civilization Phaze III" was a project that was a sort of continuation of his 1967 Album "Lumpy Gravy". A lot of the dialog pieces were taken from the original tapes from the "Lumpy Gravy" Sessions and the musical pieces were composed and played on his Synclavier.
It took him 10 years to complete and wasn't released until after his death and is unfortunately out of print at present. If you enjoyed his "Jazz from Hell" and the other Synclavier recording he released then check this out and give it your fullest attention and you will be well rewarded.
