    • 2012 remaster of Chunga's Revenge is a delight
First of all, I absolutely love the 2012 remaster. I've always loved Chunga's Revenge. It starts with the brilliant instrumental track Transylvania Boogie that has arguably Zappa's best guitar playing. A lot of people refer to the Flo & Eddie period as the "notorious" or "controversial" Flo & Eddie period. But there's nothing notorious or controversial about it. They were just as good as any of the other singers that Zappa hired before and after. They are just session singers singing on a Zappa record. All of the music is Zappa at his prime. I won't go into details of the other songs. I will however go into details of the previous releases of Chunga's Revenge. 1. In the 1980's Zappa remixed and remastered his back catalogue and released it in the Old Masters box set. Most, if not all, of the titles in the Old Masters were completely remixed and were given digital reverb. Some of the albums had re-recorded drums and bass (We're Only In It For The Money and Cruising With Ruben & The Jets), some were extended (Hot Rats) and all of them had digital reverb etc. The decisions Zappa made with regard to those albums were criminal and Zappa should not have been allowed to retouch them. If any album sounds sonically bad then it's not the record company or anyone else's fault. It's all Zappa's fault. Chunga's Revenge was treated with digital reverb that Zappa had been experimenting with since the introduction of digital technology. Of all the albums that Zappa messed with, I actually liked the digital reverb on Chunga's Revenge. It really works well on Chunga's, especially on Transylvania Boogie. I cannot, however, say that about the digital reverb that Zappa used on the other albums. So I agree with other fans who hate the digital reverb and love the original vinyl mix. 2. But what happened after the Old Masters, Chunga's Revenge was released on CD on Ryko and Zappa Records in 1990, and again on Ryko in 1995 with the green jewel case. These CD's still contain the digital reverb but the right channel was completely messed up. It's as if a chewed tape was ironed and ran through the machine during mastering making Chunga's Revenge very difficult to listen on headphones. Oh by the way, these horrible CD's were remastered and approved by Zappa himself. 3. 2012 Remaster. It matches the vinyl and contains the same dry and warm mix as the vinyl. Brilliant! I hope these never go out of print in case I need to buy it again if I lost my copy of Chunga's Revenge. ... show more

    • "The Mothers: The Next Generation"
This was a period of intense activity for Frank Zappa. He had broken up the original band, The Mothers Of Invention, right after the Spring tour of 1969, on VERY short notice, and seemed to want to distance himself from that whole thing. He put together a new band after experimenting with new musicians, mostly from the "Hot Rats" sessions, as well as producing Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" LP, but still cashing in on the old group's efforts, releasing "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" and "Weasels Ripped My flesh" by the old band, as well. All this, while doing production on the "Uncle Meat" project with material recorded by the old group and some newer material for it, and where did he find time to sleep? His obvious favorite musician from the old days was Ian Underwood, and technically, he played more music on "Hot Rats" than Zappa did. So, FZ keeps Underwood, hires Jeff Simmons, George Duke, and Aynsley Dunbar for a tour, and calls the new band "The Mothers." A little back pedaling? Maybe. The new band does a show with Zubin Mehta's orchestra, Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan are in the audience, Kaylan's cousin is Zappa's tour manager, and they are invited to join the band, do another tour, cut some records, and make a movie. Most of the material from "Chunga's Revenge is from the period where Flo & Eddie (Volman & Kaylan) first joined the band, and it is fleshed out with leftover material from "Hot Rats." The sound is a little raw, but one instantly hears what Zappa was after. A streamlined rock combo, with a bit of a pop feel. The songs are, for the most part, about life on the road, and the idea of groupie-related lyrics and concepts weren't yet driven to the extreme they were driven to later. This excess, I guess one can call it, is tempered with some fine instrumental work, the delicate "Twenty Small Cigars," the dark and brooding title track, the silly "The Clap," which is just filler, but it does help in segueing the material before and after it, and the opening "Transylvania Boogie," as well as the extended jam, "Nancy & Mary Music." People don't seem to like this, but it is a good jazz-rock jam from one of the concerts of that era. He began the new decade on an optimistic note, Volman and Kaylan being as funny as any comedian you'll find anywhere, and a new band. A lot of people malign this period in Zappa's career, with all the juvenile locker-room humor, and the fascination with bizarre sex practices of people in the band, but even that can get a little tedious, some very good music was recorded here. Zappa in transition. ... show more
