The Zu Side Of The Chadbourne is the second album by the Italian band Zu, featuring Roy Paci on trumpet and Eugene Chadbourne on guitar. [1]

The titles of the songs are obvious parodies of famous rock songs like Lucy in the sky with diamonds or Stairway to Heaven. The first song is a tribute to John Coltrane, and the last to Albert Ayler.

Camper Van Beethoven is a 1986 album by musical group Camper Van Beethoven, released on Pitch-A-Tent. With the six then CVB members joined in the studio by acid-folk eccentric Eugene Chadbourne, the album is arguably the zenith of the band's musical experimentation, with surreal lyrics, backwards, sped-up and slowed down parts; a portion of the track "Stairway To Heavan" (sic) is itself a musical palindrome. A great number of ethnic instruments are used in addition to the usual violin parts played by member Jonathan Segel; the album also features pedal steel, banjo, tablas and sitar.
