My guess would be (the graphic on the CD) Tracy Veal @ Creative Portal. She does a lot of graphic and layout work for Vaulternative Records and Zappa Records (though for Wazoo, no one is credited for layout). I could be wrong. Perhaps she, too, has pissed of the ZFT for some reason...

As is increasingly the case over the years, much of it (to me) revolves around the age of the individuals in question and when they encountered the music. (This is a basic issue for most contemporary music criticism--not just music either, but other arts) ....Not, of course, that everyone's going to enjoy any part of it even so, but more that it's not appropriate to lump it all together under any single judgment, good or bad. As usual, it's more complicated than that.". Point of departure for an asessment : the proof of the cake is in the "broader listening", ie the wide range of music FZ fans are actually listening to. My guess is that while exploring this ( which music do those people, FZ fans, actually like apart from FZ) you 'll end up being a walking encyclopedia. We shouldn’t stop listening & thinking.

See: Solfège Atonal, 1892. - Back to FZ. Over here on this blog I now and then compared FZ with Wagner. There are similarities ( having rather hard core fans, a family trust, etc. ). Wagner pretended to create Music for The Future. Historically his legacy refers to the opposite: he closed the door of a period. What about FZ? It's still a puzzling question. My guess is taht the ultimate question to be answered is : (1) for how long will his music keep being performed? and possibly more important (2) which new elements did he introduce and how are these currently furher developed? Back to music, yes, jane23.

If Zappa had intended OZ to be released I'm sure it would have involved massive overdubbage. As someone who has purchased every zappa record starting with FO in 1966 and eagerly waited to be blown away by every new release, I find FZ:OZ somewhat questionable in content. Rather than release questionable product, the music would be better served if the zft looked really thoroughly around the vault and revealed something truly mind blowing cause the last time zappa really blew my mind was december 4, 1993. Anyway the Mind Blows. Zappa isn't dead, he just smells funny. and now back to the music

These are high quality concert recordings, again for free, distributed out to some of the share friendly torrent trackers, with Phil's compliments. Phil's website has a large e-commerce component that sells concerts, DVDs, and all of the trinkets that you might expect. Preferences for his music aside, I'll bet Phil's making some good cash, and his fanbase continues to grow as he embraces the 21rst century. As other have said, bands such as King Crimson, Umphrey's McGee, SCI, and the Allman Brothers, to name a few, are all selling shows, (at ABB shows you can buy the concert you just saw minutes after the concert is over). Too bad GZ is so concerned about Zappanalle and KUR and great bands like P/O and Sheik Yerbouti... she ignores the models out there that would make her the cash she apparently craves...If the vault really has what they say, it is a gold mine...instead we get the same old shit from the ZFT website.
