I can't believe you had the unmitigated audacity to chuck in those Don't Eat The Yellow Snow references

I'd be surprised if they didn't, there's quite a bit of stuff in the Zappa catalog that seems in-line with a bunch of what they included on the SXT. I could totally see BoC playing a cover of this with synthesizers or something of the sort:phpBB [media]

Where did you hear this? Though it definitely makes sense since they were apparently living in different countries at the time

I think he only used vocals as another instrument maybe? Playfully like Aphex has done in the past. I dunno? But Yellow snow, dental floss tycoon, mental doss flycoon. I found out recently that he used Tina Turner and the Ikettes as backing vocals on Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe. They were paid something like 25$ per session and when Icke Turner heard the recordings he said "the fuck is this shit"? and refused to allow them to be credited on the album. Quite funny, but if you've never heard any Zappa, I highly recommend you go down that rabbit hole.

I mostly heard it from people on here. Cupz told me IIRC that Sean Booth had commented about how the album was good but missing Mike's wonderful melodies..something to that extent. I've heard it echoed since and the material definitely feels as though it's missing something. Take that with a huge grain of salt though. Almost everything I have to say about the development of that record past what everyone knows is just a BoC fan's educated guess.

What Sean Booth said, in the Ask AE Anything thread on WATMM, was that he missed Mike's keyboard runs. I think it's a huge stretch to twist that into this narrative that Tomorrow's Harvest was some kind of hastily put together secondary project from which Mike was absent, rather than that they created an album with a new sound, as they've done with each release.
Frankly the whole thing sounds like nonsense to me. I think Tomorrow's Harvest is possibly the most finely crafted, detailed album they've ever made, certainly at least on the level of Geogaddi. And this is the exact sort of baseless rumor-spinning I saw MDG call bullshit on a dozen times while he was still posting here.
