Overview
[edit]In the liner notes, Todd Yvega comments, "It is remarkable that Frank was able to construct such a cohesive arc, juxtaposing and superimposing such disparate materials, some of which had been in the works for years, while others were the fruit of the previous week's happenstance. Thrown into the creative mix were the incidentals (it was FZ's bent to be open to changing course and making use of whatever happens along). Earlier that year, on February 15, 1993 - the Zappa family hosted a birthday party forMatt Groening;[3]in attendance was a trio ofthroat singersfromTuvain southernSiberiawho were on a U.S. concert tour. Naturally a recording session ensued, and the Tuvans' vocals ultimately became prominent on several tracks. Dweezil had set up his guitar rig in the studio, and Frank decided to take it for a spinoverdubbingon the piece we were tracking that day. As far as we know, that was the last time he played guitar. "
