Note :
All the music heard on this album was composed, arranged & scientifically mutilated by Frank Zappa (with the exception of a little bit of surf music). None of the sounds are generated electronically... they are all the product of electronically altering the sounds of normal instruments. The orchestral segments were conducted by Sid Sharpe under the supervision of the composer.

"The present day composer refuses to die!" Edgard Varese, July 1921
