"The Little House I Used to Live In" Frank Zappa took his whole enterprise to another level with the sprawling Uncle Meat, but this follow-up, confined to the space of a single vinyl LP, produces a focus that seems to make practically everything glitter: the loopy, charming chamber suites as much as the rockin' proto-prog instrumental workouts. Ian Underwood's playing is fine, and so is violinist Sugarcane Harris's, and so is Zappa's -- and he's not afraid to cut unexpectedly between the live jams and his signature meld, perhaps here reaching its peak, of the sound of Raymond Scott and Igor Stravinsky tap-dancing on xylophones between the horse races. One of his best.More information in comments.
