why should they be fakes just because the cds come from hong kong?
got "hot rats" & "chungas revenge" from wowhd & they are ok!
also bought bob dylan´s tempest there!

Well, if you take the fibonacci sequence letters and add them to the square root of the summation of the remaining letters' numerical equivalents... ah, fuck it.

HAHA!

i'm going to guess that this FINER MOMENTS is an all new expanded (double disc) Strictly Commercial-like compilation album.

Did I not hear somewhere that there was another volume of lost episodes type material? Finer Moments sounds like it fits the bill.

Finer Moments...

First thought - it could be a Strictly Genteel type compilation next to Understanding America's Strictly Commercial bias?

Or "emotional" passages à la FZ plays FZ?

Who knows?

Me too, but I'd cum out of every pore in my body if it was a second "Lost Episodes" comp. With that title I don't think it will be. It might even be a redo/expansion of the Ryko Strictly Commercial comp that came out alongside "Have I Offended Someone?"

If finer moments is a "greatest hits" type thing with single versions then I'm all for it!

That would be fantastic!

I'm off braving the first big snow storm of the season to see if HMV got in the new wave. Thumbs held they're their and all $10 each like the last few batches! I've never heard Mothermania, curious to listen since it seems quite popular.

It's worth it for the alternate Money mixes alone!

The Freak Out tracks aren't too shabby either.

What would be truly amazing would be if Finer Moments took it's material from previously officially unreleased orchestral material such as the full Sinister Footwear suite. Or not and that stuff gets released as an alternative thing - either way would do. There's a lot of would in this post.

This, please ZFT. I think it's more likely to be Strictly Genteel II.

And from a man your age. I'm impressed!

I listened to "Ship Arriving Too Late..." last night. I don't think I've ever sat down to that one before, really liked it. It definitely seems like the start of the digital era, but the title track and what i"m guessing was "Side 2" is all pretty great. Onwards to "Man From Utopia", another of his that people seem to hate but I always enjoyed nyuk nyuk.

I hope HMV get's in the next wave next week, I'm getting close to catching up.

No way it Has AAD on cover Them or Us is the earliest DDD?

Technically yes. I was talking more about the sound. Things got more synth, electronic sounding with Zappa around this time. I think. I have to listen to all the stuff still. It seems like from Joes Garage to this record synth started replaced horns and what not and evey thing started to sound more electronic and "80's". Not in an annoying way, just in the Zappa keeping up with tech to exploit for his own purposes way.

But yes, as far as strictly digital recording, I believe you are right. This was still analog, but seems very electronic as far as content, even foreshadowing sampling.

Does that make you a stand up comedian?

i bought Willie the pimp from ITunes B/C i didnt have time to put my CD on my phone. I will say the the audio Quality is some what better but i just hate it how in the song, I know like all the rythms and huming along, it all of the sudden changes into some other beat that wasnt there before... I dont think that it should have been added to.....

Yes I suppose your correct also there is more too digital recording than the recording itself and FZ's synclavier like Chads digital drums FZ using Lynn digital drum machine and the Roland DX7 Synth I think up till the time it came out synth was a single note instument at a time like minimoog.

Because it were so cheap. With that price and shipped all the way from Hong Kong, one could be suspicious. But it wasn't fake, I was just a little worried, that's all.

that´s why it takes 3 weeks for the cds to arrive...

also on play.com delivery is included and some sellers ship from the us.

So, the Apostrophe lyric sheet thing is still unclear to me. Untangling sarcasm here from fact isn't always easy. Does the UME release have a lyric sheet or not? I got mine from amazon.com and there is no lyric sheet.

Mine has no lyrics, and it came from a local music shop (Sunrise Records).
