SON OF CHEEP THRILLS is an Enhanced audio CD containing regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Digitally remastered by Toby Mountain (Northeastern Digital Recording).
This compilation is a successor to the previous year's CHEAP THRILLS. This time out though the focus is on studio recordings, with just a couple live tracks. The eleven selections here run the Frank Zappa gamut, from doo-wop ("WPLJ," from 1969's BURNT WEENIE SANDWICH) to chamber-jazz instrumentals ("Twenty Small Cigars," from 1970's CHUNGA'S REVENGE and "The Legend of the Golden Arches" from 1968's UNCLE MEAT). Also included are proto-metal hijinks ("Ya Hozna," from 1984's THEM OR US) and solo-constructed keyboards orchestrations ("Night School," from 1986's JAZZ FROM HELL). Anyone uncertain of just what Zappa's all about would do well to start with this fairly straightforward sampler.
Personnel includes: Frank Zappa (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, harpsichord, Synclavier synthesizer, percussion); Mike Keneally (vocals, guitar, synthesizers); Adrian Belew, Warren Cucurullo (vocals, guitar); Sal Marquez (vocals, trumpet); George Duke, Bobby Martin, Tommy Mars (vocals, keyboards); Roy Estrada (vocals, bass); Jimmy Carl Black, Terry Bozzio (vocals, drums); Moon Zappa (vocals); Steve Vai (guitar); Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugelhorn, synthesizers); Bruce Fowler (trombone); Don Preston (piano); Ed Mann (vibraphone, marimba, acoustic & electronic percussion); Tom Fowler, Patrick O'Hearn (bass); Ansley Dunbar (drums, tambourine, washboard); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Ruth Underwood (percussion).
Producer: Frank Zappa.
Compilation producer: Joe Black.

Son Of Cheap Thrills album
 $7.85    
Among Zappa's grittier works, ZOOT ALLURES is a strong piece of mid-'70s work that focuses more on the interaction of Zappa and a small group that includes Terry Bozzio, Ruth Underwood and Roy Estrada, temporarily abandoning the jazzy, large-scale efforts of previous albums like ONE SIZE FITS ALL. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but all the ...

$7.25  
YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS was Zappa's first album to feature vocals since the 1979 classic JOE'S GARAGE. Perhaps to make up for lost time, a variety of vocalists are featured throughout--Ike Willis, Ray White, Frank's daughter Moon and son Ahmet, Jimmy Carl Black, and of course, Zappa himself. Also of note is that YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS marks the fist appearance on a Zappa record by future guitar hero ...

| | Frank Zappa Trance-Fusion CD (2006)
Son Of Cheap Thrills album
$15.29 
When Frank Zappa died in 1993, he had spent much of his remaining time and energy completing a number of projects before the end finally came. Why the majority of them are still unreleased as of late 2006 is anybody's guess, but perhaps the long awaited release of Trance-Fusion is a good sign. Trance-Fusion is another collection of guitar solos, forming something of a trilogy with the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set and Guitar. As FZ fans know, Frank had his favorite vehicles for soloing and careful listening to the albums as a group gives you a good idea which songs these are. "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar," "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Some More," "The Return of the Son of Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar" (Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar), "Systems of Edges" (Guitar), ...
| | All Problematic CD (2000)
Son Of Cheap Thrills CD music
$10.59
Can a band make the same album a dozen times and still be great? One wouldn't think so if one had never heard All or its predecessor and alter ego, the Descendents. Yet it doesn't matter. Not a lick. Problematic, like 1998's Mass Nerder, and the Descendents' 1996 comeback, Everything Sucks, is superb. Imagine your favorite meal in your favorite restaurant, year after year, and it's like this band's repeatable, steady formula. With each successive repetition, All seems to get even better. Chad Price, the third of the band's singers, proves again he's the best of the lot, with a real edge to match a sincerity not far removed from his incredible Descendents counterpart, Milo Aukerman. And the two deliberately stupid tracks like "She Broke My Dick" and "I Want Out" aside (a feature since 1981's "I Like Food"), each song chugs with urgency and supreme melody, and benefits from a band where all four members write, and write so effectively. As well, with their own Blasting Room studio in Fort Collins, CO, All's "blasting" sound just seems to become clearer as it cranks. Moreover, ...
