THE DUST BLOWS FORWARD
Captain Beefheart
Captain Beefheart is, shall we say, an acquired taste, meaning if you play his music in a room of 100 people, about 98 will run for the exits, one will be driven insane and one will actually like it. Now that you've been warned, The Dust Blows Forward is a stellar two-CD retrospective of the man's work, starting with his debut single, Diddy Wah Diddy, a conventional garage-rock number, before gradually moving into more Beefheartian territory -- deconstructed, avant-garde blues, seemingly free-form but played with feral intent by The Magic Band, topped by Beefheart growling surreal, wordplay. Beefheart hasn't recorded since '82, leaving a void that may never be filled.
