    CD edition from A.L Guillén's tribute to Frank Zappa edited by Unmatched HOF series.

    "La música de Der Cucamongol es lo suficientemente críptica para llegar incluso a asustar (o al menos desorientar) al más avezado fan de Zappa, pero mantiene lo suficiente las señas de identidad del bigotudo músico para ver que claramente estamos ante una obra de inspiración Zappiana. Y quizás esta es la principal virtud de este Unmatched... dar una visión sumamente original y personal de la música de alguien a su vez tan único como Zappa. Dura, retorcida, barroca en algunos sentidos y muy, muy personal"
    Antonio Martín. La Muerte tenía un Blog.

    "..a fabulous album by A.L. Guillèn. On "Der Cucamongol Cannabalizer Your Idol", A.L. Guillèn experiments with the music of Frank Zappa. He takes it apart, reduces it, and then puts it back together or converts it into something else.I love it. This is great.Experimental. Contemporary. Essential listening !!"

about

HOF080 - Hall of Fame Records 2013

"A.L. Guillén (Sefronia, Les Rauchen Verboten, Almayate, etc) está considerado como uno de los mejores, atrevidos y más personales guitarristas y compositores de España. Con Der Cucamongol cannibalizes your idol (a joyful digestion of Frank Zappa).... nos ofrece dos discos en uno, por un lado una revisión muy particular de la obra zappiana y por otro una obra original del propio Guillén, ya que todas las composiciones, aunque basadas en el cancionero zappiano, tienen identidad propia por sí solas. Una especie de easy-noise repleto de maravillas que retuercen más si cabe la complejidad del material original del maestro bigotudo, y aglutinadas de forma conceptual. Una obra maestra de la música vanguardista contemporánea española.

A.L. Guillén (Ceferino, Les Rauchen Verboten, Amatria, etc, etc) is considered one of the most skilled, personal and daring Spanish composers and guitar players. With Der Cucamongol cannibalizes your idol (a joyful digestion of Frank Zappa) he has actually delivered not only a very personal view on the Zappa legacy but also a most original work as all tracks, although vaguely based in Zappa tracks, have an identity of their own. We could call it easy-noise music packed with sounds that add further twists to the already complex original FZ material. A true masterwork of Spanish avant-garde contemporary music"
