Civilization Phaze III is the twenty third solo studio album by Frank Zappa… Read Full Bio ↴Civilization Phaze III is the twenty third solo studio album by Frank Zappa, released posthumously as a double album on October 31, 1994.

The album marks the third part of a conceptual continuity that started with We're Only in It for the Money (1968), with the second part being a reedited version of Zappa's 1967 album Lumpy Gravy. The storyline of Civilization Phaze III involves a group of people living inside a piano, and the menacing reality of the outside world. The album's themes include personal isolation and nationalism.

Much of the album's improvised dialogue was originally recorded as part of sessions which produced We're Only in It for the Money and Uncle Meat, which contained some dialogue by the same speakers, and some of the dialogue on this album previously appeared on the reedited version of Lumpy Gravy released in 1968. New dialogue was recorded by Zappa in 1993, and includes similarly improvised dialogue by members of the Ensemble Modern orchestra, Zappa's daughter Moon Unit Zappa and actor Michael Rapaport.

Civilization Phaze III has been acclaimed as one of Zappa's best works, and has been appraised for its challenging, complex music, largely composed on, and performed by Synclavier.
