In the interest of drawing moustaches upon music, and in commemoration of recent
atrocities alluded to in a surreal LAU thread (BP destroying the Gulf of Mexico, IDF
raiding protest ship, central banks raiding Greece, Spain, the USA, and everywhere, and
the people who died or will die due to many of the above), and lesser atrocities committed
upon the New Model Army by Swinger, I submit my own atrocity which was committed using
Fluidsynth, JACK-RACK, Calf plugins, and Ardour:
http://storage.restivo.org/music/krmusic/semipublished/bachatrocity-mixed.o…
The environmental sounds are of the coast of the Pacific Ocean, not of the sites of the
atrocities on the Gulf of Mexico or the Mediterranean, but you get the general drift. One
ocean, one people, one planet, all that. The bassline is from Bach, and the rest of it,
unfortunately, is fully my fault.
Oh yeah, moustache too:

And apologies to Hubert Laws too-- his version was actually good.
I will take this down soon-- mainly because it sucks-- so if you have any interest in
keeping it, download it within a week or so.

Very nice, a pleasure to listen to. The panning on the delay/echo was
making me dizzy but the effect was appreciated.
thanks

Yeah, Listening back through his recordings today it seemed like it took
him 20 years before he really nailed it too. IMO, the 1989 live recording
is the cleanest and most acoustically challenging.

I also heard that riff today. But I can't remember which track it is from.
Could be any Latin house track from the past 10 years too! Here it remixed
on Gilles Peterson all the time.

Very nice. You should do more of that vibe.

Quoting pshirkey(a)boosthardware.com:
I don't think would take the 1989 version before the 1974 Helsinki
Concert any day of the week.
Sure Inca-89 has a more elaborate arrangement but I think that was
more out of necessity since he didn't want the horn/woodwind section
to just stand there during the song.
Trouble Every Day and The Evil Prince though are great examples of
rather boring songs evolving into greatness over the years.

The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, indeed. Their version turned me on ot the
track (the One Size Fits All version never grabbed my attention), but the 1974 Helsinki
has to be my favorite version-- indeed my favorite Zappa performance in general.
Seriously? I figured I'd be the only person demented enough to attempt that track in
latin.
Thanks. I spent about a year playing that vibe all night long, between April 2008 and July
2009. If you'd like more, search on Archive.org for "Audiobraille". :-)
They're still around today, though with a different lineup now.

I've just gotta comment on this because so very few people would care,
but I got to hear that band twice, once on Feb 20, 1988, the day that
the Jimmy Swaggart scandal broke wide open. Frank was beside himself
with glee over the hypocricy and it was a memorable show.
Now, here's the weird part - I recall that just a day or two later I
got a call from a friend to see FZ in Providence, which I'd passed on
since I'd already had tickets to the Boston show, and couldn't afford
both, but he'd cover the ticket until I could pay him back.
My recollection was that I was amazed that he'd been able to whip up
an extended bit about Swaggart in such a short time, but hey, it's FZ.
He and his band are professionals.
The weird part is that there's no reference anywhere about a Providence
show until March. So much for my cherished memories.

Good guess, but no.
It's a somewhat obscure track, and it was definitely not latin/samba in the original.
In fact, the original was such a radically different feel, that I think even the most
hardcore Zappa fans might not be able to guess it.
A few weeks after that gig, I played the song again at the same cafe with my friend Dan on
drums, who is a serious Zappa fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of his stuff. We grooved
on it for about 10 minutes, and he didn't guess what it was.
Good luck. :-)
