CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND
Captain Beefheart was one of modern music's true innovators. The owner of a remarkable

and exploration of the musical ideas posited on Trout Mask Replica. As such, the imaginative
fervor of Trout Mask is toned down somewhat, but in its place is an increased self-assurance;
the tone of Decals is also a bit darker, examining environmental issues in some songs rather
than simply concentrating on surreal wordplay. Whatever the differences, the jagged,
