APOSTROPHE (')

Apostrophe surely represents the most commercial Zappa: this album, with his complementary Over- Nite Sensation, has short tracks with (apparently) easy melodies and funny lyrics. The adventure of Nanook, the eskimo, is one of the best known recordings of Frank. It may seem an easy listening work, but it would reduce the great job that stands behind it. A very useful dvd by Classic albums explains the making of these two records, and thanks to it I understood what they really are. I used to consider them two minor cds, but now I learnt to appreciate them: Simply they're different from what you expect after some albums like Waka/Jawaka and Grand Wazoo. But this is only one of the great changes that Zappa had in his carrier.
