Automatic translation: »This isn't music at all,» says my wife. »No, this is absurd theater», was my offended reply. On the turntable was »Billy the Mountaim» (24 min, 42 sec.) and it seems to be something in between. (read more)

Automatic translation: Here is an album that will surely and hopefully sell in Finland. Fortunately, Frank has become a favorite of a larger group than MUSA's disgusting minority thanks to his visit to Finland, and his new easy-listening line, which is now continuing his second album, is much easier to adopt than, for example, part of his instrumental production. This album has been quite badly criticized precisely for its "lightness", but at least I don't think there is any light Zappa and if I compare it to the previous one, I think this is better.

Automatic translation: The thing is, I haven't really dug Zappa's last couple of albums and this year's concert was hopeless in my opinion. I've been of the opinion that Zappa has loosened his grip too much at times after Flo & Eddie left and the system changed radically. "OverNite Sensation" in particular was a rare boring record, first of all because of Zappa's cheesy "singing" parts and excessively prolonged verbal and musical flashes of intelligence. »Apostrophe» continued the same line, but was a bit sharper and stricter in its treatment of ideas. Last year's first live encounter with Zappa was quite a refreshing experience, except for a few moments of confusion and boredom, but this year's concert was a complete disappointment. I didn't understand anything. (read more)

Automatic translation: Zappa hints on the record cover that this is just an intermediate job while waiting for the next LP, and after listening to the record, I had to believe it. My editor-in-chief would hint that this is a funny record, and based on the same listening, I found that others hear a lot that others can’t hear .... (read more)

Automatic translation: Here’s an alternative month’s laptops for those who have sunk so low that they like the Zappa / Beefheart combination. The first actual joint recording of the two great rock individualists is a blow to the listener's waterline and yet such a blow that it is not clear. In my opinion, this plate offers significantly more in every respect than Frank and Captain’s previous couple of records combined. (read more)

Frank Zappa's poster was announced on the cover, but not included in this issue.

The Frank Zappa poster, announced in issue #5, appeared here as a centerfold.

Automatic translation: Yeah, kids, the mother of our time is once again in the world with her new band with the obvious intention of puffing a blade of fire at her album. In honor of this, he has - surprisingly - given us a telephone interview, the mazes of which we will move on to in the following. (read more)

Automatic translation: So early on, I would dare to say that the two concerts given by Zappa as a whole were something like the CONCERT OF THE YEAR. (read more)

Automatic translation: It’s been a while since Frank Zappa last hit the market for his spirits. The completely soulless "Zoot Allures" was certainly a disappointment to many lovers of light music, and Zappa's concert in Helsinki a year ago evoked quite conflicting feelings. Kaitselmus himself had to spend his time on the shelves to get new material for the shelves (a spectacular "Läther" covering four albums was planned which the record company refused to release for some strange reason) and finally we have a brand new record "Zappa In New York".
