wow .... these guys are the greatest !!! They've endured the torture I've put them through to make this gigantomanic attempt on another Zappa-tune ... well it's actually two. The first part is an instrumental version of The torture never stops, featuring Tony on lead guitar. the second part is "Why does it hurt when I pee", witch grew completely out of all proportions, I lost count of the number of tracks a long time ago....

This is 10 stars on every level. I love the original but now i love this!! Tony, that is amazing feeling you have going on there. You sound pro bro!!

Geir, Jim, and Mark...Incredible vocals...This is amazing. I`ll be listening to this for a while. Mark great bass work and The MBR drums actually sound very good to me for once too. Great mix and production!!

Tracktastic production chaps, this is fantastic. Love the vox on "Why does it hurt..." and yet with all that complexity it stays very clear. Great stuff, great collab.

Cheers,

One of my favourite tracks given the sympathetic treatment.

Gonnacacacas. That's what I got.

This was the first in the jukebox when I started listening today at work.  My first thought was, you set the bar too high.  How could the production and the other song treatments be as good as this? The rest of the songs proved me wrong.

On my second listen now. A strong contender for my favorite of the fest.

Ok guys, take a bow, I mean holy sh%t, what a song, what a performance.  Where does one start.  I am especially impressed by the super fine guitar playing.  What is Tony and what is Geir, I can't tell.  That strat in the beginning, that you Tony, if it is then mind=blown.  Thats a fantastic bit of playing, yes sir.  The whole thing is too much for words really, I don't want to say anybody's parts were, whell I can't single anyone out, its all so good.  Geir, the ringmaster of this brilliance, take your bow, the rest of you guys, get in line for your bow.  The quality of this one is very good.  I agree with Ted here, contender for my favorite after my first (of many) listens.

Even with a touch of 'Stairway' on the link (cheeky!), this is marvellous! A sprawling,, amazing epic. When it gets going on the second part, it really gets going. I guess anyone would be screaming if their balls were like maracas, lol. Fantastic playing and production from all involved, and that's some serious Geir mastery to get it all to hang together like this. WOW! This gets a 'Double Rainbow All the Way' seal of approval, lol.
