Listen to THAT voice on those verses. Majestic, powerful and captivating. I'm beginning to think he had the most powerful singing voice ever. He will be missed. He has been missed.
Even though he was too ill to perform and largely a recluse painting whatever he painted it was still nice to know he was alive. Hah! I remember hurting my throat at 16 trying to sing "Electricity"! I have a deep voice, developed it early and wondered if doing that helped move it down. Well, of course not but "Safe As Milk" was a prized album as was "Trout Mask Replica." It wasn't until over ten years later in the 80s that I found another C.B. album and I bought five at a time.
Got SAM when I was 16 back in the 80's in my hometown - Belfast. Loved it then and love it now. Always remends me of one my best friends when I played it to him at a party in the early 90's. He was blown away. CB was special, a one off. Thanks for showing me that I could follow my own path in life Don. RIP
I never listened to Captain Beefheart, but with his death, have been checkin it out... love this. Have to say, it reminds me of a contemporary of his, Zappa. Hungry Freaks, daddy...
That sucks that he died. I was wondering what the sudden boom of comments was about. He had to have been one of the greatest artists of the 20th century in my book. Oh well.
@R3lentlessG4ming i think it's more like Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancing round Go back ten yeas ago sunbeams dancing down Autumn's child Autumn's child Autumn's child got a loophole round her finger Halo rings her head Cornhusk hair makes me linger A cat's stare meet s my dare A man's chair greets my stare Gonna be my wife she sang she said Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life she said Go back ten years ago sunbeams everywhere Go back ten years ago sunbeams fill the air
when i was in college, i read helter skelter. while reading it, i listened to this album, man, id get out of bed to check the lock on my apartment door, freaked me out ... love this
@nimergas80 only 23 and I'm upset...have been listening since 16. As I was making a tribute video and sorting through all the pictures, I'll admit my throat closed up a little. Hail to the Captain, RIP.
My high school woodshop teacher showed me this Band and told me, "The first time you hear them, you're gonna hate them and think they sound like shit... but listen to them some more times after that and they will grow on you..." He was right.

there's an ethereal element to everything from this (Magic) band, and of course the Captain leads the creative way with his odd yet tangible lyrics...one of the best of the bit strange of the '67 west coast era
There's something very disturbing and infuriating about how a lot of people might not "get" music like this -- I don't care, I don't "get" Rihanna -- but then they go three steps further and go and talk shit about it like they want to see it just erased. I know, majority rule, but it wouldn't be so painful if what most people listen to wasn't the exact kind of garbage its fans accuse artists like Beefheart of being.
"Clear Spot" is brilliant, relatively-recent Beefheart (by that, I mean it's maybe 30 years old or so. There's, of course, "Trout Mask Replica" - His classic.
One-hit wonder? I hope you're kidding. This guy was an avant-gard pioneer for close to half a century!
@squaCampos no its just their only easily listenable cd before it gets really experimental. Just cause things are a popular hit doesnt make them good and even further than that its all just a matter of personal perspective!
you shallow thick tit trout mask replica the spotlight kid safe as milk clear spot grown fins mirror man bat chain puller and about another ten too you ignorant twat , get back to your cold play nonsense ,, this is real fucking music ,, cock sucker !!!
He's most famous for TMR, but I personally like Lick my decals off baby the best. I think all of his albums are as good as this one. This is just the most 'pop' of his stuff, so people who like pop music prefer it and don't understand or like the rest of his stuff.
This is one of my favorite songs, dont get me wrong.
But can you name another great captain beefheart cd???
and no, i cant just let it flow, no matter how much i enjoy their music because sometimes we cant just speak of the pretty things, we must also remind ourselves of the things we dont want to hear.

Ah, an artist like this comes along every fifty years or so.
Unfortunately I don't see anyone out there ready to replace him.
He had a gift and got as much of it to us as he could afford.
It came at a steep price and its going to take a couple hundred years for
it to sink in.

I love this song so much... so catchy, almost a gateway between the blues/jazz styles and people like The Residents.
The bridge at 1:39-2:25 is genius.
Kind of ironic how so much "post-punk" was before punk ever happened, eh?

This was the proof to me Don could bring down a lot of good sentiments in his voice! It's quite amazing to hear. :D
I have the old LP's and the newer 180gr version with a bonus LP with unreleased material :D
Love both versions :D
