Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III [CD]

Joes Garage Acts I II III is a 1979 rock opera by Frank Zappa which tells the story of what could possibly happen if music was made illegal. The album features Ike Willis as the voice of Joe a stereotypical garage band youth who unwittingly journeys through the miasma of the music business. Zappa provides the voice of the Central Scrutinizer charactera mechanical voice that narrates the story and haunts Joes psyche with McCarthyistic 50sera discouragement and scrutiny. The album was originally issued in two parts the first part being a single LP of Act I and the second part being a doubleLP set of Acts II III. All three acts were later issued together as a box set and on compact disc as a doubleCD. The major themes of the story include groupie migration mockery of Scientology appliance fetishism garage bands and above all censorship of music as an artform. Joes Garage is particularly noteworthy for its extensive use of Zappas xenochrony technique in which guitar solos from older completely unrelated recordings were extracted and overdubbed onto new songs. With the exception of Watermelon in Easter Hay and Crew Slut all Zappas solos on the album were constructed in this way.
