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.

"Drumbo" John French - drums, vocals, harmonica
"Mantis" Gary Lucas - guitar
"Feelers Reebo" Denny Walley - guitar
"Rockette Morton" Mark Boston - bass
Michael Traylor - drums
