I was going to suggest a few tracks rather than complete albums as a gentle way in.
Try this one Paul
Meaty beaty big and bouncy...

If you fancy something a little more challenging, there's the mighty Inca Roads.
This has what is regarded as one of FZs best guitar solos and contains some (....ahem.....) different time signatures

The very first thing I remember hearing of FZ's music is this ....
Apostrophe
Playful stuff, with some serious musical performances to boot.

If you fancy something a little more challenging Gulp, it ALL seems challenging. This sounds like a bunch of people having a fun jam... at our expense! |

Grit your teeth to get through the beginning of 'Inca Roads' and it moves on and develops into an incredible, majestic and glorious thing of beauty. Trust me!
