Frank Zappa-Joe's Garage Act I. (1979)

In 1979 Frank Zappa published "Joe's Garage Part 1" which made his chronological work number 48 signed as a soloist, without his Mothers of Invention with which he already had 15 albums published.
That same year "Joe Garage Act´s II. and III." would be released on a double album and some time later the three volumes would be compiled on a triple album.
This first part Zappa satirizes the American way of life, Scientology, fetishism and other issues such as censorship in the world of music.
For this new album Zappa I use the technique called "xenochrony" which consisted of picking up guitar solos from previous albums and superimposing them on new songs in the recording studio.
Created as an opera rock, history recreates a dystopia in which, under the demagogic idea of ​​equalizing all human beings, prohibitive laws of all kinds have been created so that everyone is a criminal in some way and thus have control of everything the world. Thus, music has been banned and that affects the main character in the story, the music lover Joe.
The album itself is full of superb music ranging from funk "The Central Scrutinizer", energetic "On The Bus" or humorous "Catholic Girls" to reggae "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up".
