Apostrophe (')
“apostrophe (‘)” is a testament to Frank Zappa’s genre-defying approach and ability to blend seamlessly rock, jazz, funk, and avant-garde, letting his virtuosic guitar work shine through. The opening track, “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” sets a whimsical comical tone, while “Cosmik Debris” and “apostrophe (‘)” emphasize intricate solos and quirky techniques that demonstrate Zappa’s musical dexterity. The album is a cohesive musical voyage in which the musician explores societal issues such as cons…

Relatively Clean Rivers
Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand.
