My favorite thing about visiting Ditch Records in Victoria, B.C. is that I get to piss in front of Frank Zappa.

The Censor Keeps a Copy
Twenty years ago, give or take, a friend told me a story he expected me to admire. He was a Latter-day Saint who worked in technology, and he was, as I understood it then, the bishop of his ward, an unpaid office the church gives to laymen who keep their day jobs, so he kept a company's hours all week and presided over a congregation on Sundays. There was a Mormon bookstore he went into often, and one day he walked in and found a new display for Goosebumps, the paperbacks with the dripping green logo about haunted masks, a ventriloquist's dummy with a mind of its own, and a werewolf in a Florida swamp. He spoke to the owner. The owner told him the books were selling well and that those sales were keeping the store alive. My friend pressed him on content, judged the whole series blasphemous, an invitation to the occult at a child's price, and let it be understood that if the titles stayed on the shelf a report would go to the stake president. A week later he came back. The books were gone, the owner was distant and cold, and my friend bought a couple of books, in his own phrase, to make up the difference. He told me this the way another man might tell you he had coached his kid's team to a championship. He was proud. The word I have settled on, twenty years later, is forensic: he had investigated, prosecuted, and won, and he walked out of that store on the high of it. […] -

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
-- Frank Zappa -
By Grin Reaper
Dense, dark, and demented, Lychgate’s Precipice breaks nearly six years of silence with music as unsettling as the concept it’s built upon. The album’s primary inspiration draws from E. M. Forster’s short story “The Machine Stops,” a dystopian tale first published in 1909 that cautions against over-reliance on technology.1 In it, The Machine enables people to govern their lives from isolated chambers, interacting virtually rather than in person after the Earth’s surface becomes uninhabitable. Integrating notions such as blind obedience to technology, instantaneous communication, and climate change furnishes a lavish backdrop for London’s Lychgate and their fourth LP.2 Given the promise of its premise, does Precipice step off the ledge and soar, or plummet to the depths of obscurity?
Brandishing a broad array of atmospheres and a flair for generating tension, Lychgate conjures oppressive auras that equally frighten and excite. To that end, Precipice’s aural footprint lands somewhere between Blut aus Nord’s dissonant grooves and a decelerated Imperial Triumphant at their most cinematic (think “Transmission to Mercury”), taking the avant-garde trappings of each and devising a mood and character all Lychgate’s own. Emboldened by jazzy flourishes à la Dødheimsgard, Scarcity’s cacophonous, freeform nonconformity, and Morast’s caustic claustrophobia, Lychgate forges an unforgiving yet layered experience that outstrips single reference points. Tensions runs roughshod throughout Precipice, knotting its nine tracks into gnarled enigmas that demand to be sussed out with care. Gone are the clean vocals from The Contagion in Nine Steps and An Antidote for the Glass Pill, and instead vocalist Greg Chandler focuses solely on barks and snarls that remind of Doug Moore’s urgent rasps. Atop it all, Lychgate further embeds the organ into the band’s core sound and discharges potent riffs at key climactic junctures, leaving Precipice crackling with vitality and unpredictability.
Precipice’s varied compositions and instrumentations coalesce to propel Lychgate to new heights. It’s a mature release that exemplifies the prevailing virtues of prior albums, unifying them into an impressively intricate forty-eight minutes. The organ, credited to permanent member J. C. Young and session musician F. A. Young, plays a central role, spanning the gamut from lunatic funhouse (“Anagnorisis”) to Phantom of the Opera gothic drama (“Mausoleum of Steel”). It keenly weaves a calculated stress, plying tension in ebbs and flows that cleverly and constantly push the album forward. Besides organ and piano, loose guitar structures regularly bleed into riffs plucked out of an eldritch ether, oscillating between Zappa’s Jazz from Hell and unearthly, pit-scorching acrobatics (“Renunciation”). A doleful, introspective melody in “The Meeting of Orion and Scorpio” diversifies the sound and pacing, followed by a hectic skittering in “Hive of Parasites” that gives way to a slow-burn passage heavily featuring jazz flute. Myriad components fuse into a whole that should not sound as cohesive as it does, but Lychgate takes their carnival of sounds and crafts a finely-honed album that deserves more attention than it will get with an end-of-year release.
Lychgate employs a satisfying and well-considered array of ideas in service of Precipice, though a few hiccups are present. Besides the musical diversity, Lychgate flaunts remarkable instincts when it comes to pacing. Having the longest track as the midpoint of the album works well and helps establish a clear listening milestone; I only wish the back end of “Hive of Parasites” had been trimmed a touch, as the last three minutes blur together. The mix is another boon, providing ample space for S. D. Lindsley’s guitar, Tom MacLean’s bass, and T. J. F. Vallely’s drums. The only quibble is Precipice’s density, which could put off those lacking the time to absorb its demure gifts. All told, though, Lychgate earns every bit of praise by merging this many ideas so cohesively.
Despite its late release and complex composition, Lychgate delivers a smash success that commands and indisputably warrants your attention. Precipice isn’t easy to understand, but it’s irresistibly easy to spin again and again. And you should, because it takes time to unravel.3 Precipice has been one of my most played albums of the year at a time when I’ve been busiest both personally and professionally, routinely ensnaring me with its enchanting hooks and wiles. For my money, Lychgate has released the best album of their career, and you owe it to yourself to step up to the Precipice and take a leap of faith.

Bon, y a pas de paroles, et je suis régulièrement paumé entre les versions, mais je vais quand même vous refiler quelques Youtube sur cet objet mythique… Extrait de Wikipédia (je vous mets le lien à la fin) :
« The Black Page est un morceau de musique de Frank Zappa réputé comme étant extrêmement difficile à jouer. À l’origine, il a été créé uniquement pour la batterie et pour l’interprétation du batteur Terry Bozzio, mais Frank Zappa a ensuite ajouté une mélodie. »
D’abord, d’après les concerts par Zappa Plays Zappa, le groupe formé par Dweezil Zappa après la mort de Frank, je pensais que c’était le morceau à la batterie par Terry Bozzio, et puis le morceau à la guitare par Steve Vai, et voilà tout. Alors que c’est bien plus compliqué que ça, dans les évolutions du morceau et les interprétations qu’il y en a eu… (je suis paumé, chuis pas spécialiste, moi.) Je vous mets en premier cette version titrée The Black Page #1 & #2. Je suis allé à un concert du groupe, au Zénith, et c’était vachement bien.
Mais je vous mets aussi des Youtube avec Frank, faut pas déconner. Voici donc The Black Page #2 au Palladium à New York, peut-être le 31 octobre 1981. Il y a bien Steve Vai à la guitare parmi les musiciens, mais Ruth n’est plus dans le groupe – c’est Ed Mann – , alors que pour l’album Zappa in New York, enregistré en décembre 1976, c’est elle, et il n’y a pas Steve Vai. Le bonheur c’est de voir comment Frank dirige l’exécution du morceau.
Voici encore cette version avec les cuivres, et puis Frank himself à la guitare, et qui dirige aussi. C’est peut-être la version de la tournée de 1988, mais celui qui a posté la vidéo ne s’est pas fatigué sur les crédits, alors j’en sais rien. (Je suis allé au Zénith en 88, je peux frimer, mais je suis toujours aussi mauvais connaisseur de l’œuvre du maître.)
Édit : Mais je suis con ! 🙄 Les deux morceaux de l’album Zappa in New York sont présents sur la chaîne Youtube de Zappa : Black Page #1 et Black Page #2. C’est la recherche Youtube qui est pourrie…
Comme promis : la page Wikipédia de The Black Page.
Bon Albert @AlbertBorneo, si j’ai dit trop de conneries, corrige-moi !

I find it hilariously on-point that I resumed play on a Lewis Black standup and the first words out of his mouth were 'you people'
From what I can gather his 'you people' is always quite universal, and I'm all for comedy that insults an entire planet of people. Reminds me of one of the things I liked about the comedy side of Frank Zappa.
