Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This album caught my attention first due to the clay figures on the cover photo. I've got a soft spot for claymation ever since I've watched Bruce Bickford's surreal sequences in some Zappa footage. This memory is perfectly matched by the album's ingenious and unusual music, which is heavily mallet-based - another thing I'm associating with Zappa (think of Ruth Underwood playing the marimba). Complemented by clarinets, oboe, english horn, and cello, it even comes up with sort of a RIO feeling. Favorite track: Blatant Disregard for Lamb and Pork.
