RIP, was truly a musical visionary. 40 years on and Trout Mask Replica has not been imitated or replicated in any form. Ahead of his time.
 
Not unexpected with his illness. Some excellent music and weird art to enjoy.

A fair innings from the captain.

*Bump*

Bought the Mirror Man Sessions and Unconditionally Guaranteed yesterday afternoon and listened to them overnight. Still listening now in fact.

What an absolute genius this man was.

There just isn't anything you can compare it too. A thing of true beauty the Captains music.

RIP.
 
Just gave his 1967 debut Safe as Milk a whirl
some pretty ******* incredible tight..but still loose junkyard blues rock. love it:thumbsu:

gotta love the humor in them late 60's albums..
gives me the same feeling mothers of inventions Freak Out! does.. but a bit less goofy and little darker
