LUMPY GRAVY

By far one of the weirdest things Zappa did in the 60's. Two 15 minute collages of sound make up this album, and despite this, it makes you amazed that Zappa never took drugs. Anyway, if you are new to Zappa, this is not your album, it takes an open mind to appreciate what goes on in this album, there are some great arrangements, such as A Vicious Cycle and King Kong (which would later get it's own song). If you like the experimental Mothers stuff of the 60's then this album will be right up your alley, if not, then you might not enjoy it so much. Me, I liked it, but I don't feel it's essential to get the whole Zappa spectrum. 3/5.
