Free Music Notes for Trout Mask Replica
Free Music Review: Its all about context...
Hit: 5 Stars
The cause of this bickering seems to be the disconnect between what this record is and what people seem to think it is. This record was and still is quite impressive because:
1) It was able to very accurately predict the attitude and aesthetic of 80's post punk.
2) It was a pop/rock record on the same label as Alice Cooper that has a very convincing and unforced free-jazz motif.
3) The lyrics are very literate and complex by any standards.
4) Even after legends like Orange Juice, Wire, Joy Division and the like, it still holds up as one of the standouts in the minimalist art-rock genre.
Many people, both those claiming this is the best and those claiming this is the worst record ever, seem disproportionately bewildered by its contents. Yes, it is strange, even disorienting. But a healthy dose of post-punk, avant garde jazz, or pretty much any of the artier genres will quickly put this record into a more sensible perspective.
Trout Mask replica is an excellent record, but go in understanding what it is.
Trout Mask Replica Poster
Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 1969 album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, blues, and garage rock to free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Warner Brothers Records.A colleague of Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) and his Magic Band produced some of the most eccentric music of the late 1960s--or, for that matter, ever. The high water mark of Beefheart's bizarre career, this double album of freeform "Dada rock" features such daunting tracks as "Pachuco Cadaver," "Hair Pie (Bakes 1 and 2)," and "Neon Meat Dream of an Octafish," all of which actually sound as unusual as their titles. Between Beefheart's mind-bending lyrics and cavernous voice, as well as the twisted playing of guitarists Zoot Horn Rollo and Antennae Jimmy Semens, bassist Rockette Morton and drummer The Mascara Snake, this album fully explains the expression "far out." --Billy Altman
