AMG REVIEW:
Joe's Garage was originally released in 1979 in two separate
parts; Act 1 came first, followed by a two-record set
containing Acts 2-3. Rykodisc's reissue puts all three acts
together on two CDs. Joe's Garage is generally regarded as
one of Zappa's finest post-'60s conceptual works, a
sprawling, satirical rock opera about a totalitarian future
in which music is outlawed to control the population. The
narrative is long, winding, and occasionally loses focus; it
was improvised in a weekend, some of it around previously
existing songs, but Zappa manages to make most of it hang
together. Acts 2-3 give off much the same feel, as Zappa
relies heavily on what he termed "xenochrony" ù previously
recorded guitar solos transferred onto new, rhythmically
different backing tracks to produce random musical
coincidences. Such an approach is guaranteed to produce some
slow moments as well, but critics latched onto the work more
for its conceptual substance. Joe's Garage satirizes social
control mechanisms, consumerism, corporate abuses, gender
politics, religion, and the rock & roll lifestyle; all these
forces conspire against the title protagonist, an average
young man who simply wants to play guitar and enjoy himself.
Even though Zappa himself hated punk rock and even says so
on the album, his ideas seemed to support punk's
do-it-yourself challenge to the record industry and to
social norms in general. Since this is 1979-era Zappa, there
are liberal applications of his trademark scatological humor
(the titles of "Catholic Girls," "Crew Slut," "Why Does It
Hurt When I Pee?," and "Keep It Greasey" are
self-explanatory). Still, in spite of its flaws, Joe's
Garage has enough substance to make it one of Zappa's most
important '70s works and overall political statements, even
if it's not focused enough to rank with his earliest Mothers
of Invention masterpieces. - Steve Huey

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
