	Actually I was thinking more of the style than talent issue myself. A
lot of folks aren't aware that along with the Rock and Jazz usually
associated with Frank Zappa, he also composed a considerable body of
orchestral pieces. Marvin is definitely the mellower of the two. I would
also have to give his music the nod as background music in the afore
mentioned context.
