  Trout Mask Replica- Captain Beefheart
It was becoming obvious that the Trout Mask 'style' was exclusive to Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
On Trout Mask, the syncopation of the Delta blues is echoed in the piano lines which yielded the raw musical material, and is still evident in French's drum patterns.
Sonically and structurally Trout Mask Replica was still way outside the prevailing trends in rock music, not least in the brevity of the material.

  The Challenge of Trout Mask Replica
Trout Mask Replica (TMR) is THE album that defines the archetypal Beefheart sound presenting it for the first time and in its most raw state.
At the risk of sounding pretentious, TMR is as much a work of art as it is musical statement.
But TMR was the original and represents the Beefheart sound in its purest form.

  Trout Mask Replica   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Trout Mask Replica is a 1969 album by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
Combining elements of blues, free jazz, and other apparently disparate bits of American music, it is widely regarded as one of the most important works in experimental music.
Regarding it, BBC DJ John Peel has said "If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art in a way that people who are involved in other areas of art would understand, then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work."

 albumvote reviews - Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart
The release of the 'Grow Fins' box set revealed 'Trout Mask Replica' rehearsal material, the material here was heavily rehearsed, it had to be for music so strange, challenging and complex.
Even having said that, nothing does it for me likeTrout Mask Replica, an album that still sounds a few decades ahead of its time just as much as it must have when it was originally released.There are 28 tracks in all, and 20 of them were recorded in one day.
And if Beefheart himself couldn't replicate the Replica, then you knew this was one of a kind.Trout Mask Replicais indeed a beautiful masterpiece that shall continue to sit at the top of the rock and pop music heap.

 upstatebeat.com: SHANNON'S LAW: Trout Mask Replica   (Site not responding. Last check: )
What was clear was that Trout had stepped on some toes and rattled more than a few cages in his first ten months at County Square, confronting the status quo in ways subtle and profound with varying degrees of success.
Among the offended parties were certain real estate and development types who were miffed when Trout challenged what he perceived as official deference to their desires beyond that shown to average citizens.
By giving Trout’s enemies equal time to peddle their tawdry wares, by using a newspaper to spread rumors and innuendoes, by allowing dubious statements to go unchallenged, the Greenville Journal has done a disservice to the truth.

On the latter score, history's most shining example may be Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, an allegedly classic album that must surely sit undisturbed in thousands of households.
As it turns out, the LP he sold me is in the same prickly vein as Trout Mask, but it's a little bit more bass-heavy, and free of the air of desperation that puts me off some of Beefheart's supposedly seminal work.
I thus go back to Trout Mask, and despite the fact that the really difficult stuff is still vexing me, it palpably begins to open up.

 Fast 'n' Bulbous Reviews: Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, Trout Mask Replica (Reprise, 1969)
Beefheart insisted that he composed Trout Mask Replica in its entirety on a piano in the Magic Band’s communal rental house in Cunoga Park, San Fernando Valley in one eight hour stretch.
While I believe his basic eccentricity is completely natural, it seems that his michievous elusiveness in response to interviewers asking for an explanation of his music hints that the beauty in an album like TMR is that it leaves a thousand ways people can misinterpret it to their own satisfaction.
TMR has repeatedly been hailed as Beefheart’s masterpiece, one of the greatest albums of the rock era.

 Music: Rare Beef (The Boston Phoenix . 07-26-99)
Trout Mask Replica sounded unmoored from anything else that was going on when it came out in 1969, even if it was released during a period when popular music and the avant-garde were having a brief confluence.
The answer is to be found not on the five CDs but in the accompanying booklet, most of which is taken up by a detailed oral history of the Magic Band overseen and conducted by long-time off-and-on member John French, who served mainly as a drummer, sometimes as a guitarist.
The fourth disc is the "storytime portion" of the Trout Mask sessions, 12 minutes of random (and often funny) chat, much of it from the lady next door who comes over to complain about the noise but stays to kibitz.

 33 1/3: Trout Mask Replica   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As for the "strange music," which would ultimately comprise Trout Mask Replica, the inspiration for it was partly due to the jazz records that Gary Marker had been playing Beefheart over the past couple of years.
The popular myth, devised by Beefheart, then embellished by the rock press, was that he composed all the songs on Trout Mask Replica at a piano in a remarkable eight-day span.
One significant truth of Beefheart's assertion, though, was that he began composing the music for Trout Mask on the piano.

 Captain Beefheart : Trout Mask Replica - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The disjointedness is perhaps partly unintentional -- reportedly, Beefheart's refusal to wear headphones while recording his vocals caused him to sing in time with studio reverberations, not the actual backing tracks -- but by all accounts, the music and arrangements were carefully scripted and notated by the Captain, which makes the results even more remarkable.
As one might expect from music so complex and, to many ears, inaccessible, the influence of Trout Mask Replica was felt more in spirit than in direct copycatting, as a catalyst rather than a literal musical starting point.
However, its inspiring reimagining of what was possible in a rock context laid the groundwork for countless future experiments in rock surrealism, especially during the punk/new wave era.

It is only when you listen to music like the 1969 released "TROUT MASK REPLICA" by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band that you realise how formulistic todays music tends to be.
As a result "TROUT MASK REPLICA" has the raw edge of a quick session run through, but also with the well considered musical arrangements that only countless hours of experimentalism can achieve.
It is also said that "TROUT MASK REPLICA" is an unaccessable album to anyone not around in the 1960's.

 [No title]
In the spring of 1969, the inauspicious release of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band’s Trout Mask Replica, a double-album featuring 28 stream-of-consciousness songs filled with abstract rhythms and guttural bellows, dramatically altered the pop landscape.
Trout Mask Replica is a hybrid of poetic declarations inspired by both Walt Whitman and the beat poets, the field hollers of the Delta Blues, the urban blues of Howlin' Wolf, the gospel blues of Blind Willie Johnson, and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman.
This book illustrates how Trout Mask Replica was not so much an arcane specimen of the avant-garde, but rather a defiantly original declaration of the American imagination.

The last couple of days I've been listening to Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
It's a strange experience and the more I listen to it the more it gets to me. The reason I got this album was because I saw an old documentary about Captain Beefheart and there's this special album that they talk about that was meant to be so special.
Like with Trout Mask Replica, it took me a long time to appreciate Big Eyed Beans From Venus.

As the good Captain once said 'most people want you to see the world through their eyes' applying this observation to the aural presentation of 'Trout Mask Replica' you'd be hard pushed to find a more deconstructed view of 'popular' music than the tracks of this album reveal.
Trout Mask Replica represents all that is good and great about art but, of course, if you don't love it I can't give you my ears - or my history - you'll have to get by with your own.

 Captain Beefheart Trout Mask Replica CD
A great, sprawling, discordant work of genius--TROUT MASK REPLICA gives the lie to the frequent criticism that all double albums are exercises in self indulgence.
Or perhaps in Captain Beefheart's case it's impossible to separate the self indulgence from the meaningful art--certainly the pieces you may feel on first listening to be the most excessively obscure are those that keep you coming back for more.
But be warned--after hearing TROUT MASK REPLICA, you'll never be able to listen to music in quite the same way again.
