Notes:
	Play with the balance of the tracks until you get something
that is musical.  No attempt has been made to make this accessible
to general MIDI inastruments.  You must assign all your own voices
and balance all your own tracks.  There are no embedded patch-change
commands to screw up your gear.  Each track is on a separate MIDI
channel for your editing convenience.  I recommend playing this piece
on a multi-timbral synth with at least 30 note polyphony, such as the
Yamaha SY-85.  This MIDI file will overload your typical Sound Blaster
or Ad Lib cards.  There is just too much stuff happening at the same
time.  The newer generation of cards out there (Turtle Beach Monterey,
or the new digital Sound Blaster) might do the trick.

If you get something musical out of this.... let me know.  What
did you play it on?  How accessible was it?  Thanks in advance.

P.S.  I would like to add that... no matter how great you get this
stuff to sound, better versions can be obtained at your local
record store.  Check out the Zappa section... usually under "Rock".
Check the classical and electronic music sections, too....
you never know.  I've even found Zappa's "Jazz From Hell" in
a NEW AGE section...

makes you wonder what this world is coming to....
