WARNING: THIS IS NOT A OFFICIAL ALBUM!
This is from my own private collection. I assembled it for my personal listening.
I gathered the Zappa songs, and in the live songs I eliminated some flaws and improved the sound a little.

I don't like cover songs. I don't like tribute bands. and even less those dedicated to Zappa!
But this tribute band has some peculiarities:
it's from the 70s!
it is practically unknown,
only one official cd,
sounds good,
and then it has a particularity (for me) exceptional:
this is the only tribute band that I willingly listen to until the end.
When I listen to the other tribute bands, after a while I take them off and listen to the original (FZ).
Instead ODIN's music is always interesting, full of surprises and he was able to capture the Zappa spirit.
Amazing music!
However they did not only play Zappa's music.
You can find their official CDs here (only one official CD and something posthumous):

ODIN:
Rob Terstall: guitars, vocals
Jeff Beer: keyboards, percussion, vibes, vocals
Ray Brown: bass, vocals
Stuart Fordham: drums, percussion

... means that I spent 50 years of useless and tedious life ignoring this Frank Zappa cover band, what a delight to listen to their music, a 1000 thanks for posting ❤ !

wonderful treasure of dedication and musicology 10/10

Je pense exactement comme vous; à chaque fois que j' écoute des reprises de Zappa, tres vite je m'ennuie et j' ai besoin de re-entendre l'original. Mais ce groupe a su capter l'essence même des compos, à leur façon certes. Et le son est genial.

une fois de plus merci pour le partage.

Great, Frank certainly was a 'one off' and I take hat off to anyone brave enough to tackle any of his songs. You're doing very well here. Dinah-Moe-Humm was one of myfavourites, and it's a pity he's no longer with us... anyway, thanks for this, see you on SC! :)

Amazing i had NO IDEA this exists! This band I mean. A Zappa cover band who were his contemporaries?

What a wonderful addition to the Zappa tribute catalogue. They don't play 100% authentically, but they have their own very musical version of Zappa, all slathered in that 1970s creamy sound! Yummy!

Wow this is excellent! Thank you so much for sharing, I don't listen to covers either but this is really good

Grande tributo al grande genio! Grazie mille per aver postato questa perla amico mio, Like 👍

Heute vor 27 Jahren ist er auf seine letzte Tour gegangen, RIP. Erinnern wir uns seiner fast "prophetischen" Texte neben seines Schaffens als Musiker. Er hat vor 50 Jahren schon die Zustände ziemlich exakt beschrieben. Nur manchmal frage ich mich, was er wohl zu dem Irrsinn der letzten 20 Jahre gesagt und wie er es "verpackt" hätte. Und nichts in Sicht, was seine Art fortsetzen könnte...

Bravissimi questi penso abbiano colto lo spirito pulizia, bel suono, precisione, coesione, creatività e libertà nei soli. Bel mix.
Grazie del tuo lavoro br1Tag.

Excellent, thanks for all your Zappa uploads, always looking forward to hearing the next ...🐧

As a longtime Zappa fan, I'm interested in Zappa covers to hear how well the band actually performs the music. While it shouldn't necessarily be a carbon-copy of the music, it should hold faithful to the structural integrity of the piece, but also have a little personal flavor added. This band is a great example. And because they recorded this during Zappa's time, whether or not he knew about this release is anybody's guess, but if I'm correct, if somebody *records* and commercially releases any music from another artist, that artist has to give permission and be paid royalties. If that's true, Zappa would likely have had to know about this band.
Well, anyway, this is a great tribute to Frank, and moreover because they did it in his prime.

Amazing, they really liked Frank Zappa music; they invested a lot of time in learning it and playing it intuitively diving right into the mood of the pieces. Did Frank Zappa even knew about them?
