Peaches En Regalia

In your mid teens you tend to look for music that nobody else is aware of. It instils that feeling of individuality teenagers seem to spend all their days searching for, blissfully unaware of the fact that every other person of the same age is seeking out equally diverse music. Living in a rural hinterland, my Dad’s record collection offered several Zappa albums – and Hot Rats was always my favourite.

Not wanting to sound too muso, but the arrangement on this song can do incredible things to the ears of a stoned teenager. At points it’s as if four different songs in the same key are playing at once. It is actual genius.
