Liner Notes

Notes from the edge

I'm not certain when this record was known to FZ as an actual project. He might have easily been collecting/collating candidates and buildng a reef of sorts for a few years. But once he know his eon was closing this quickly emerged as one among the few projects that he chose to complete. Curiously, the date on the disc from Bob Ludwig is May 23 2005 and the date on the Master Tape check is 23 May 1993. Other coincidental and tangential collisions have occured throughout every Zappa project and Trance-Fusion is no exception - check out the gypsy mutant vacuum cleaner swirling in castanets and the glow of the Chunga's Revenge studio campfire album art.
