FRANK ZAPPA - THE WEASEL MUSIC ACETATE 1969



The Weasel Music Acetate would fit right at home on Weasels Ripped My Flesh. As fans know, Zappa’s song titles rarely offer glimpses into what the songs are about. Hence Chamber Music Piece 1 is not a soothing piece to while away a lazy afternoon. It’s actually a free-jazz piece with a “slow” build-up but it doesn’t really turn frenetic. On the other hand, Mozart Ballet would be considered a light classical piece, with tinkling piano, that seems to elicit screaming and laughter from the audience and the song ends with some heavy-duty feedback and guitar wailing. The track, Some Zany MOI Bullshit, might be what happens if Randy Newman had tried his hand at free-jazz.

Track 01. Albert Hall Spoken Introduction (3.8MB)
Track 02. Chamber Music Piece 1 (7.4MB)
Track 03. Mozart Ballet (17.9MB)
Track 04. Some Zany MOI Bullshit (4.9MB)
Track 05. Chamber Music Piece 2 (1.2MB)
