Bruce Bickford's and Frank Zappa - Inca roads


I know this is not exactly "the latest". News and blogs are always in search of the latest fad.

But in fact the very idea that a claymation video of the seventies it is still popping up on news websites and talked about by bloggers , musicians, and claymation fanatics alike, is a good measure of the real qualities of the music and the animation of this video.

I'm talking about Frank Zappa's, Inca Roads.
Mothers of Invention at their best with George Duke, Tom Fowler, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Chester Thompson and the Ruth Underwood on vibes showing her belly button.

Inca Roads was recoded live in 1974 at L.A. TV station KCET, and includes Bruce Bickford's dreamy and psychedelic claymation.

Unfortunately the quality of this video is not the best but it will give you a good idea of what artists united can achieve. ( with or without mushrooms.)
