Music reviews of Burnt Weeny Sandwich
Music Review: excellent and a half
Rating: 4 Stars
Burnt Weeny Sandwich is in fact a sandwich, big classically-based suites bookended by two doo-wop tunes.
And what a sandwhich: "Holiday In Berlin" is a harpsichord piece with reeds that covers the first half of the album. It is one of the last studio pieces the origional Mother's of Invention did, and is one of the few which fully flesh out Zappa's classical ideas as opposed to inserting them in smaller snippits. The klezmer-ish sax in the last part is quite a treat, and deflates any classical pomposity this work may have had.
"Littie House I Used To Live In" is a long suite that starts with panio improvosations before diving into a full-fledged MOI workout that contains rock and avant-gaurde elements. At eighteen minutes, forget the sandwich; this is a banquit in itself.
Both pieces show the band was developing right to the end, and the full sounds on the album indicate this band was not at all spent, but could have kept moving into ever more elegant directions,
THe two doo-wop pieces frame all this perfectly, and thread Zappa's all encompassing musical approach through this, one of their best albums .
