Has anyone else heard of this guy?
i think he was friends with Frank Zappa. Anyways, i downloaded his album Trout Mask Replica last week, and its great. Although reallly spun out, experimental and kinda weird. Its sorta fusion jazz stuff. just great tho.
anyway i just had his little intro to one of his songs in my head all day, so i thought i'd post it here, to see if anyone knew what iot meant. Its also a bit of a theme throughout the album, although it takes a long time to absorb, which is a good sign.
anyways here it is
"a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?"
with all its eccentricity, i think its gonna be a while before i remotely understand anything about it...but musically its very good as well, tho beefheart isn't much of a singer, its an aquired taste
also just to make sure this thread isn't too worthless, theres this cool site rateyourmusic.com and its a pretty good site for rating music yourself but also getting other review and referals from other people. good shit. ok i'll leave it there.
Also, i will buy trout mask replica, cause i do like it. Its just a matter of fully understanding it...
