I really like it, some unorthodox Beefheart rhythms and beats, use of the marimba, a very good vocalist and some very worthy tracks. More than average boogie I would say but then it’s down to taste again.

I would recommend this 'easy-listen' to those that aren't fans but could fancy trying a drop of jazz

A superb album and dirt cheap on Amazon UK (£4.29 inv p&p)

I've had a Lumpy Gravy morning today - one of my favourite Zappa albums

Firstly, the original Primordial version from 1967 which is instrumental

Image



Then half of the 1984 remix with overdubs by Chad Wackerman (tubs) and Arthur Barrow (bass) from Lumpy Money

Image



and then side 1 of the 1968 version of Lumpy Gravy

Leviathan ‘Unleashed’. Got hold of this yesterday, an album recorded in 1969 on the Elektra label but never released until 2012 by Record Collector Magazine as I understand it. Goodness knows why it wasn’t released because it’s really very good, actually better than that, it’s excellent.

Lots to read about it on the inside cover so will need to find out why it wasn’t released.

Anyone into psych/blues rock circa ‘68/‘69 will love this I think.

Brilliant album.

Music that isn’t Zappa, Eno or Soft Machine related.

Huge fan of this band. Articulate, melodic, excellent musicians and with great "pop" sensibilities

Not one bad track. Great band. Even their less appreciated albums have wonderful moments, but El Camino is peerless
