> My cd says: 1994 The Zappa Family Trust

So did mine, before it was stolen (along with the rest of my CDs, my VCR and 
my flatmate's handgun) back in 1996.

The piece with the Tuvan singing is indeed the best piece on the CD, and 
it's entitled "Dio Fa".
It's an incredibly beautiful piece of music, dark and foreboding and 
multi-layered, with Zappa retaining a masterful control over the all the 
various sonic elements, both human and computer-generated.

A search of most of the usual file-sharing programs occasionally yields 
success. Multipe versions are currently available, for instance, via eMule. 
You can hear a brief sample of Dio Fa on the Barnes and Noble page for the 
CD:
