Description
“Ahead Of Their Time” was recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England, on 28 October 1968. For context, this means that only Zappa's first four albums were available to the public at the time. Finally released some months before Zappa's death, it shows the early Mothers (Of Invention) moving in a more complex musical direction, setting the stage for the extended compositions of “Uncle Meat”.
The first part of the set is a one-off performance of a musical play retrospectively entitled “Progress?”, and featuring members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Zappa had been writing chamber music pieces in the hotel rooms he visited and wanted to try them out. He strung them together by devising a psychodrama he called "Progress?" This was meant (and indeed turned out) to be a one-time performance, so he made sure to record it. The second half presents the rock part of that night's concert. All instrumental and very focused, it presents Zappa's best tunes from 1967-1968. A crucial document that fans of the '60s Mothers will enjoy.
