well, OK then - "trends and other diseases" is the only one you REALLY want to search. the "morgan" disc of "the music or the money" is damned impressive sequenced stuff that surpasses it's zappa "jazz from hell" origins, while the "mats" disc on that has one killer tune and the rest doesn't move me. "radio da da" has a couple of moments, but the production lacks, slightly (no guest bassoon or tuba players), and they don't seem to have any focus at this point. mats oberg's big band project with g.u.b.b. is quite pleasant but perhaps still too zappa derivative (although fairly much ballad - based) - right now i'm after stuff that cuts to the chase so it doesn't do it for me.
