Those harmony vox around 1:50 really evoked some Zappa memories from
his very early stuff (mid 60's to early 70's, for some reason, Weasels
Ripped My Flesh comes to mind). But I have to say, this cut could have
been on Becker's "11 Tracks of Whack" (1994) and been right at home.

FWIW "everything about it" includes the great mix! Outstanding work,
IMHO, and drum ambience/mix fits the piece to a tee!

Cheers!
Mike
