Oh the irony. A few weeks ago I put together a tape that had consecutive
tracks by Aphex Twin, Squarepusher,  Cylob and (you guessed it) Frank Zappa.
It was "Night School" from Jazz from Hell. That LP sounds like it was done
yesterday. You can play it next to the aforementioned artists and it fits
right in. 

BTW, there is a live orchestral version of "G-Spot Tornado"  on The Yellow
Shark CD.
