| Keith Emerson lamented the horrible sound production on Ars Longa Vita Brevis and indeed its genuinely awful. Also the guitarist Davy O'List had left by the time the album was recorded which was a real shame. The BBC version with him playing on the title track is one of the best things I've ever heard. You can also find a live version on the net which is just amazing (Fairfield Hall , Croydon I think was the gig). Davy sadly had a bad drug habit and was kicked out the band by Emerson. I met him about 10 years ago and he bore no malice towards Emerson and in fact talked very reverentially about him. Nice guy Davy. Don't know the Zappa album and I've only heard the live versions of 2 of the tracks from Shine On Brightly. I would imagine that it's a better album than Ars Long Vita Brevis (wouldn't be hard tbh) but I can't vote obviously. |

Shine On Brightly is great, Ars Longa is fine but the Nice have finer... Uncle meat is a pinnacle of RIO / Avant with the King Kong variations, Dog Breath, Mr Green Genes and on new editions (I'm on my third copy) a totally unnecessary 30 minutes of soundtrack outtakes (no music) and a quintessential number Tengo Na Minchia Tanta. My basis for quintessential is the exquisite melody that is at the core of FZ's finest ideas. It's probably not the album for an FZ listener who may start and stop with Hot Rats (the usually most referenced to be accessible album) but it's not easy to be a Mothers' fan without this opus. Nice to have all though... |

Shine on Brightly and Uncle Meat are two of my all time favorites. Gave the slight edge to Shine on Brightly. The Nice is nice too. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Procol ....of that list. But I like the first Nice...Thoughts, and Hot Rats by Zappa as well as the Procol album. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

The Procols but if the Zappa record didn't have all that dialoge and empty album space, I'd have chosen it. King Kong is the first true Zappa masterwork, IMO. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Procol Harum, Shine On Brightly.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

| Heard that Davy has done an article for Strange Brew about an imminent new album in April, which apparently has some great licks. And he's supposedly doing some live dates too. |

| The Nice although the sound quality is rough and the version of the side long suite would have been much better if David O'List had remained in the band. It needed the guitar to give it that 'edge'. I quite like the Procal Harum album and I can understand that getting most of the votes. Yet to dip my toes in any Zappa. One of these days.. |
