Search - Don Preston :: Vile Foamy Ectoplasm

Some Serious Fun From An Old Mother!

"This CD compilation should be of interest to fans of Frank Zappa's tighter sounding ensembles dating from the 1973-74 period and beyond. There are a number of Zappa-esque instrumental numbers, a Weather Report inspired tune, some keyboard/electronica explorations, and a funny vocal tune about Zappa rumors and fanzine assumptions concerning Frank's lifestyle and personality.



The music spans several decades from the late 60s through the 1990s. I've listened to this disc about ten times, and so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. There isn't much here for those looking for music similar to the original Mothers band, but if you're a fan of 70s and 80s Zappa, and keyboard oriented jazz/rock, you might want to give this cd a listen."

Frank Zappa was the leader of the Mothers of Invention

"Don Preston is a master on the electronic keyboards and his compositions are on par with Frank Zappa's."
