• Frank Zappa — Joe’s Garage

“Joe’s Garage is a three-part rock opera recorded by American musician Frank Zappa in September and November 1979. Originally released as two separate studio albums on Zappa Records, the project was later remastered and reissued as a triple album box set, Joe’s Garage, Acts I, II & III, in 1987. The story is told by a character identified as the “Central Scrutinizer” narrating the story of Joe, an average adolescent male, from Canoga Park, Los Angeles, who forms a garage rock band, has unsatisfying relationships with women, gives all of his money to a government-assisted and insincere religion, explores sexual activities with appliances, and is imprisoned. After being released from prison into a dystopian society in which music itself has been criminalized, he lapses into insanity.” — Wikipedia

“Nina Hagen was born in the former East Berlin, East Germany, the daughter of Hans Hagen, a scriptwriter, and Eva-Maria Hagen, an actress and singer. Her paternal grandfather died in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, and growing up, she saw her father infrequently. At age four, she began to study ballet, and was considered an opera prodigy by the time she was nine. (Wikipedia)”

“The first mix (Moody Mix) was a bit of a homage to Detroit … The Monster mix took it to a place of a sort of grandeur, wide-screen, epic vibe … It was never meant to be a commercial hit. When we took it to Radio 1 we had radio-pluckers saying ‘It’s got no hook, it’s got no chorus, go away.’”
