......and his Magical Band
the album... "Trout Mask Replica" .....is AMAZING!
a must-listen for those interested in experimental, 'avant garde', innovative, INTERESTING music thats DEFINITELY not normal!
its mostly traditional instruments (not electronic...... guitar, drums, bass, some winds) played very untraditionally
the different instruments will be playing in different time signatures SIMOTANIOUSLY!
and they dont have the constraints of key signatures.... making it sound very very free.....and very hectic/chaotic on the first listens.....
just like Autechre will sound on the first listen to someone used to techno..... "its just noise!"
but no..... its intricately made music!
compared to rock..... its like Autechre's Confield compared to normal electronica!
i HIGHLY recommend it for those who like old ROCK (ya, that means you ophecks)
copied it from a school library disc on my teacher's (who is a huge music freak) advice.....
i'd like to put it up as mp3s on soulseek for those who are interested but i dont ahve a program that can rip audio cds!
any suggestions!?
PS: it also has cool weird poetic lyrics that are sort of sometimes sung

sorry.... i meant: simultaneously
im a very bad speller.... obviously
but anyways, to sum things up:
Trout Mask Replica-->rock/jazz = Confield-->eletronica

I've been meaning to get into Beefheart, I have a Guitar World magazine focusing on 1969's best albums, that was one of the ones listed.
I have no hard drive space and I don't want to delete anything. Sigh. But maybe this week.

I've heard SOME Beefheart, and it's good... kind of like Zappa, isn't he? Weirdo... I liked it, and I've been meaning to get into it.
But, nah, The Beach Boys are unbeachable.
Get it, unbeachable?!?! AHAHAHAHAAHA!
AHA!!!
You know, unBEATable... unBEACHable? Heh.

Yes, 'Trout Mask Replica' is an amazing record.. Very jazzy and surreal, almost borders on krautrock at times. Too bad 'Bat Chain Puller' never saw a proper release. A lot of current musicians list Captain Beefheart as a major influence(Meat Beat Manifesto, Acid Mothers Temple, Nurse With Wound, Squarepusher, Coil, Julian Cope,..) I also remember John Lennon(The) speaking favorably of him in several old interviews. He had Safe as Milk stickers slapped all over his equipment..
.... Does anyone know the physical status of Don van Vliet? Last I heard he wasn't doing too well..

I'm listening Trout Mask Replica right now... I can NOT stop laughing... this is the most demented thing I have EVER heard... :-)
I also downloaded Queen's ''A Night at the Opera'' and Tool's ''Undertow'', so it was a productive first night back on Soulseek.

I heard that the name originated when his uncle squeezed his penis until the head became very swollen and purple like a big ol' beef heart.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM LIKE NO OTHER
Anyone who's into trout mask replica, check out the nlf3 trio. Not quite as demented or free-jazz, more post-rock but with a kinda similar intricate/improv vibe.

the 67-70 period in general was a huge influence on Autechre in my opinion - 'Trout mask..', 'lick my decals off' and 'Mirror Man' in particular.
then they lost their way during the mid seventies, but then there was a return to form with the last three albums; 'Bat Chin Puller' (bootleg version's better), 'Doc at the radar station' and 'Ice Cream for Crow'.
essential stuff.
