To simplify my life considerably, I'm going to combine the "reviews" of all six Stage releases into a single entry, even though they were released individually. Also, to save a lot of time and effort, I'm not going to give complete track listings of the twelve discs, or do song-by-song reviews (hey, we're talking over 800 minutes of music here, give me a break). If you need to know the track listings, they're probably available through an on-line music sales site like CDNow, or an information site like the All Music Guide. There's probably a few other Zappa sites that list them as well. Maybe one day when I have the time, I'll come back and expand this section to really cover all twelve discs in detail. Until then, I'll just give some general facts and opinions, focusing on highlights and material unique to the Stage series.

Winners of the "Una suite per un anno" prog competition, Floating State signed a contract with Lizard and released their debut ''Thirteen Tolls at Noon'' in 2003…

This is another of modern Italian progressive rock's hero,bassist/composer Fabio Zuffanti.Actually HOSTSONATEN have to be started as a side-project of his first band FINISTERRE,as in the insert notes of the album you will find the title ''Finisterre Project'',although the cover of the work doesn't carry such an expression.HOSTSONATEN's eponymous debut from 1997 is another tribute of Zuffanti in the classic 70's Italian prog rock sound,though the few lyrics presented are sung in English…
