When Frank Zappa died in 1993, he had spent much of his remaining time and energy completing a number of projects before the end finally came. Why the majority of them are still unreleased as of late 2006 is anybody's guess, but perhaps the long awaited release of Trance-Fusion is a good sign. Trance-Fusion is another collection of guitar solos, forming something of a trilogy with the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set and Guitar. As FZ fans know, Frank had his favorite vehicles for soloing and careful listening to the albums as a group gives you a good idea which songs these are.

Superfluous Motor is a project started in 2012 by Greg Chambers. Greg is not a people person, by doing everything himself he can stick to his introverted ways while creating the music he wants to make. Superfluous Motor is not marketable, it's not commercial, and it sure is heck isn't enjoyable listening for everyone, but it is kind of sort of different from other things that are out there today. Trifecta: Fusion is part of a larger painting. "Trifecta" is a three-part album featuring three different segments focusing on the styles of Funk, Fusion and Prog. Trifecta: Fusion is just a piece of this trilogy focusing primarily on the style of jazz fusion. However, it does not strictly adhere to any genre constraints. Each track of Trifecta: Fusion is inspired by ideas of space travel and exploration of the unknown.
