# The Captain?
of course...

Trout Mask Replica is one of the more difficult works of genius going! (produced, of course, by Zappa)

THe Wildman Fischer stuff is just mental.

# i find trout mask replica
utterly impenetrable.
it was the very first album i had that was totally off the wall like that.
i remember thinking "this is shit, theres no songs" and putting it away, bear in mind the beefheart id heard was doc at the radar station and ice cream for crow - slightly odd albums but still pretty normal compared. That was a few years ago and ive not really thought about it since...
i think its time to dig it out again !!!

*edit* wildman fischers "im a truck" i find quite moving...
*edit 2* wow that was a terrible pun

# go back to Trout Mask...
difficult but worth it. If you can handle Japanese turntablists, I reckon you'll be Ok with it.
