1 stars WARNING!!!! THIS CD DOES NOT CONTAIN MUSIC!

So why is it listed here? Beats me! Probably because Frank Zappa has produced it. Anyone who has heard Zappas Lost Episodes nknows that he and van Vliet together with Bobby Zappa did all sorts of idiot experiments with musical instruments. They were lutionary and anarcistic and surely blew many dudes minds up. They broke barriers as one might say.

Stop arguing whether this is music or not. This isn't. Masterpiece maby but not in musical genre. It contains sounds, even human sounds, but it is performance as an art form. In that genre people are used to consume, see, hear, taste, you name it, ugly and digusting things. This recording is a masterpiece of ugly sounds. As music it does not exist.

I give it 1 star because zero is not possible. Yet I dont recommend this even to completionists. This is completely unnecessary piece of data.
