Automatic translation: FRANK ZAPPA: he was arrested in 1963, after offering to make a porno film for 300 dollars to a undercover agent of Sen Bernardo's police. The agents entered his studio and found "lewd content tapes" that he was making in the company of a 19-year-old Lorraine Belcher. Sentenced to six months in prison, he served 11 days before being released on probation (this circumstance exempted him from military service). For two years, he was prohibited from being in the company of a woman under the age of 21 unless a "competent adult" was present.

Automatic translation: Here finally comes the latest installment of the supreme alchemist, and it is that old Frankie is still on top; his disease doesn't matter, what matters is the music. The CD in question includes the premiere of his "Yellow Shark", performed by the Ensemble Modem, which is nothing more than an orchestra specialized in contemporary music. (read more)

Mothers Of Invention & Frank Zappa
Zappa was from his beginnings very popular in Germany, where the discs of the Mothers were distributed punctually. Politically, Zappatista thought pervades all the ideological verbiage of Kaiser and activist bands like Floh from Cologne, Faust's discography is prolific in allusions to the collages and electronic hardware of the Mothers, Irmin Schmidt from Can discovered his rock vocation while hallucinating with «Freak Out". The prosperous and paradoxically revolutionized Germany of the 60s was an excellent breeding ground for born anarchists like them, regular visitors to the German stages whose influence on krautrock is more substance than form.

Automatic translation: A posthumous work that Zappa left unfinished due to his death, "The Lost Episodes" compiles 30 unpublished tracks under study from the career of this singular and undervalued artist. (read more)

Automatic translation: If covering Zappa is delicate, synthesizing it is even worse. "Strictly Commercial" tries to do this by compressing 22 years into 19 songs that only show the most accessible and (apparently) affable side of the late man, that is to say hit singles, radio hits and material from his most popular works.

FRANK ZAPPA "YOU CANT DO THAT ON STAGE ANYMORE" [Rykodisc. 92]
Automatic translation: Incontinent by nature and a veteran user of the live format, Zappa had no qualms about signing up for Guinness with this series of six double CDs filled with previously unreleased live material recorded between 1965-84. Packing a lifetime of bowling into a single product seems like a biblical ego, but this fan collection is also complemented by "Guitar," a double CD dedicated exclusively to compiling guitar solos captured in concert between 1979-84.

Automatic translation: Frank Zappa wrote nearly a thousand compositions over three decades, venturing and experimenting with the most diverse musical styles, be it jazz, doo-wop, electronic music, progressive, rock'n'roll, punk... receiving the thanks and the admiration of the public in the world of rock. His most unknown facet for this public are the forays he made into the field of orchestral music, where he also delved into a wide range of styles, not too common among musicians in the rock environment: chamber music, baroque, twelve-tone, dadaist, avantgarde...
