Comment

No other band has done more to battle the tyranny of rock's four-four beat'
(The Times) than Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. Trout Mask Replica, arguably the most avant-garde, polyrhythmic rock 'n' roll album ever made, bears perfect testimony to this with its idiosyncratic hybrid of free jazz and blues.
