...The tour-de-force in the life and times of The Captain his illustrious crew ...
A highly complex, completely disjointed free-jazz acid-funk-blues which predates no-wave by about a decade.
Amidst the chaos, one can trace, to cite a few examples, a disguised convoluted harmonic progression in Hair Pie Bake 1 , wild up-and-down dynamics in Sweet Sweet Bulbs , the robotic nonsense Neon Meat Dream Of A Octofish - featuring a devilish guitar solo counter-effected by a clarinet on fire, the faux chamber music of Dali s Car , the multi-layered delirium of Pena etc.
It s hard to actually tell, but actually each piece is quite different than the other. It s like each piece represents a different diagram in a geometrical parabola wihch in turn represents structured chaos, though sometimes things are far more playful as in the clownish funfair big-band exercise Sugar n Spikes , or in the sketch Ant Man Bee . And that is only the start, when the fried acid ramblings amid splattered avant-garde backdrops thrust forward in album highlights abounding, such as: Neon Meat Dream Of An Octofish, She s Too Much For My Mirror, Steal Softly Thru Snow, The Blimp, The Dust Blows Forward..., Dachau Blues, Moonlight In Vermont. and so on...hell, the whole album is one big spikey ball of fluster...
