Lust For Life
Automatic translation: Frank Zappa was an extraordinarily
prolific musician. We will be reminded of this in the second
half of this year when the most important part of his oeuvre
is re-released: no less than sixty CDs in six months. The campaign
is led by widow Gail Zappa, who is both admired and hated by
the Zappa adepts. "The integrity of his work is the only thing
that matters to me."

Automatic translation: You Can't Do That
On Stage Anymore is the title of a series of live albums
by Frank Zappa that perfectly sums up how fantastic his concerts
were. Unfortunately, you can also take those seven words literally,
because the genius moustache has not been alive for almost 24
years. However, his son Dweezil and Zappa alumnus Robert Martin
continued to play Frank's music with their separate projects.
Lust For Life presents tour memories from two different
perspectives: the little boy who watched his father perform
from the side of the stage and the band member who once took
a huge risk by raising his middle finger to the master during
a show.

Automatic translation: Everything that made Frank Zappa such
a disruptive artist comes together in the triptych Joe's
Garage, which was originally released in two parts. It
is designed as a rock opera with the narrative computer voice
of the "Central Scrutinizer" as a connecting factor. With a
colorful procession of musical styles as a backdrop, Zappa takes
us along familiar themes such as religion, freedom of speech
and sex. [Robert Haagsma]
Automatic translation: If a fiftieth anniversary
of one album in the colossal Zappa oeuvre gives reason to pay
extensive attention to the moustachioed genius, it is that of
Apostrophe (') His best-selling record will soon be released
as a Super Deluxe Edition. Lust For Life spoke to several people
involved (son Ahmet Zappa, vaultmeister Joe Travers,
technician Sherman Barry Keene, artist Calvin Schenkel) about the versatile musician and composer: "His words
are more relevant than ever".
