I did not attend the event so I cannot agree or disagree with the review. I put "review" in quotes because I learned more about what he ate and his campsite than I learned about the music at the show.
In Volume 7 of the "review", he discusses Banned From Utopia's performance, but couldn't name many of the songs of their performance cuz they were instrumentals. In his set list, he has question marks next to song titles or just lists question marks and writes "I'm pretty sure one of them was Waka."
This thread is about instrumental music and whether the "general populace needs" lyrics to "get" music. Echidna and Waka are instrumentals.
"Get it honey; get it?"

and Tubular Bells and the theme from the Rockford Files.
But seriously folks, the person who wrote the "review" of Zappening 2000 on this site couldn't tell Waka Ja Waka from Echidna.

It's in 11/8. The chords are Bflat major (for 6 1/8 notes) to C major (for 5 1/8 notes). Improvise a solo in Bflat Lydian and forgedaboudit.
If you don't know Bflat lydian, play F Major against the chords; it's the same pitches.

Major, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Minor, and Locrian. They all use the same pitches. Start on "C" and play "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do" and you're playing C major (do to do). If you start on "D" and play the exact same pitches to the next D, you're playing D Dorian (re to re). Do the same thing with the other pitches and VIOLA you know all the normal modes/scales/whatever you wanna call them.
FZ strayed outside these sometimes. Treacherous Cretins uses the following pitches for the "scale":
A, B, C#, D, E, F, G. It's not A major cuz of the flat vii (the G). It's not A minor cuz the major III (the C#). I've heard it called Hungarian Phrygian or something like that, but just play those pitches and it'll sound thoroughly bitchen.
