Musics by Frank Zappa: Orchestra En Regalia
Perhaps Zappa is best described in his own words, from The Real Frank Zappa Book:
"One day I happened across an article about Sam Goody's record store in Look magazine which raved about what a wonderful merchandizer he was. The writer said that Mr. Goody could sell anything-and as an example he mentioned that he had even managed to sell an album called Ionisation.
The article went on to say something like: "This album is nothing but drums-it's dissonant and terrible; the worst music in the world' Ahh! Yes! That's for me!"
