I'm suprised that there are no reviews in here of Joe's Corsage, Joe's Domage,
QuadAudiophilliac, Joe's Xmasage, Imaginary Diseases, Halloween, or even FZ
in OZ. I guess I havta reset my newsreader and read the newsgroup from DNA up
until this afternoon.
Anyone seen any reviews on the web?
thanks!

There was a decent amount of talk about Imaginary Diseases when it came
out (and about the others when they came out). You might check out the
Google archives for posts on the matter(s).

you're right Milhouse - lots of good stuff at Google! thanx!
Frank Zappa .:. QuAudiophilliac
DVD-Audio may not be your preferred format, but here's a release that actually
needs its special capabilities. There have been a number of high-profile albums
that have been remixed to take advantage of Surround Sound, a case of retooling
the recordings to take advantage of a new consumer format. Music consumers who
began their music purchases during the digital era may not be aware that an
attempt was made at "more than stereo" recordings back in the '70s, utilizing a
four channel system known as quadraphonic. Beyond being a brilliant composer
and guitarist, Frank Zappa was also something of a recording pioneer as well,
and as early as 1970 (!) he was making recordings in quadraphonic, and he
prepared quad mixes on several of his mid-'70s albums as well. Since quad never
really caught on, these recordings have never been heard properly -- until now.
Vaultmeister Joe Travers unearthed a whole bunch of quad mixes that Frank Zappa
himself created in the '70s, and Quaudiophiliac is the first release in a
planned series to feature these recordings. It's a mixture of previously
released and unreleased material, but even the previously released items will
be a delight for fans. The first three tracks are from the sessions with
orchestra recorded in 1975 that were used for the Orchestral Favorites album,
of which only "Naval Aviation in Art" has been released. The real gem here is
the previously unreleased "Rollo," which uses melody elements of the "St.
Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast" theme and sports a wicked guitar solo (this tune
was heard much later, added to the end of the live version of "Don't Eat the
Yellow Snow" on You Can't Do That Onstage Anymore, Vol. 1). These are followed
by a very interesting embryonic version of "Watermelon in Easter Hay" performed
on synth and vibes, to which Dweezil has grafted a spoken bit by Frank (this is
the only tune that isn't Frank's mix). After this are the standard released
versions of "Wild Love" and "Ship Ahoy," but the ambiance on these mixes is
enhanced, and the recording clarity is incredible.
Then comes an early version of "Chunga's Revenge," recorded in Frank's basement
in March of 1970 -- it was actually recorded in quad before the format was even
available commercially. This is an amazing 11-plus minute recording with just
FZ on guitar, Ian Underwood on keyboards, Max Bennett on bass, and Aynsley
Dunbar on drums. Both the recording and the performance are superb, and the
track would probably be worth the price of admission on its own, but this is
followed by another unreleased performance, the all too brief "Venusian Time
Bandits." This is a mid-'70s live recording with a crazy guitar sound that
hasn't been heard on any official recordings. Then comes the title cut from
Waka/Jawaka, an overlooked gem in the Zappa catalog from his short-lived Grand
Wazoo big-band experiment. At first, it sounds like the same track, with its
killer horn charts, but again, the clarity of this format makes it sound better
than ever. You can hear different details in the mix, especially with regard to
the rhythm guitar parts, but when the actual guitar solo starts up, the ears of
serious fans will really perk up. First off, the guitar is equalized
differently, for a slightly cleaner tone. Secondly, the guitar solo on the
Waka/Jawaka version is edited (!), heard unedited here for the first time, and
at the end of the solo, where the horns come in and double Frank's guitar part,
the horns don't double and the solo just keeps going, leading into an unheard
Don Preston keyboard solo! For the Zappa scholar, this is revelatory: to be
able to witness the evolution of this piece from one finished form to another.
The album closes with some "Basement Music," originally released on the Lost
Episodes, although bits of it were heard as segues on Sheik Yerbouti.
Quaudiophiliac is the beginning of a Zappa fan's dream. Finally the vaults are
opening, and technology is catching up to Frank Zappa a decade after his death.
Let's hope there's a lot more to come. That man was a genius, and here's more
proof. ~ Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

There may be an *unheard* Don Preston keyboard solo, but what *is* heard
on Quaudiophiliac is another FZ guitar solo. If you listen on
headphones, you can hear the ring-modulated signal in the right channel
and the clean signal in the left channel.
