Okay there's been scattered mentions of the man on the board, it seems, but no actual thread -- and now that Philip S. has reported on his passing and I've learned about him, having missed the recent reissues, holy shit this is great (and also ripped off by just about everyone in recent years):

Played on a couple Frank Zappa releases, most notably Zoot Allures

Came across Mandre 2 at the Goodwill the other day and shit is it a mind-blower. Seriously ahead of its time and it seems Daft Punk may have ripped off the whole mask thing from him. Really stunning stuff.
