civilization phase three

[Jordan Fink]

I've never made the connection between Pynchon and Zappa before but I
couldn't help thinking of Frank's last album Civilization Phase Three
which takes place inside of a piano. FZ worked with Kaigal-ool Khovalyg
from Huun Huur Tu to incorporate Tuvan throat-sing into his culminating
critique of civilization and power and violence.

Artis the Spoonman is also on the album, and if any of y'all have ever
seen him play or speek he is a shaman hisself.
