| Shut
Up 'N Play Yer Guitar Is
a collection of solos taken from various live
performance and studio settings and strung
together via snippets of absurd dialog ala Sheik
Yerbouti. One listen to this
album, and you'll either be convinced that Zappa
was the most innovative player to ever strangle a
G-string, or you'll share the opinion of a former
roommate of mine who, after I had forced him to
listen to the whole CD at a very loud volume,
stated, "I would have a hard time calling
most of that music."
Needless
to say, Frank, while in the throes of
improvisational frenzy, is an aquired taste.
Cetain
selections within this package could only be
described as physical abuse perpetrated upon
hapless air molecules, while other pieces will
have you swearing that you have touched the face
of God.
If
you have never been exposed to the art of
improvisation-as-spontaneous composition, prepare
yourself for an advanced musical education.
