Trout Mask Replica
by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band


[quote]Trout Mask Replica is Captain Beefheart's masterpiece, a fascinating, stunningly imaginative work that still sounds like little else in the rock & roll canon. Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 28-song double album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, blues, and garage rock to free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Atonal, sometimes singsong melodies; jagged, intricately constructed dual-guitar parts; stuttering, complicated rhythmic interaction — all of these elements float out seemingly at random, often without completely interlocking, while Beefheart groans his surrealist poetry in a throaty Howlin' Wolf growl. The disjointedness is perhaps partly unintentional — reportedly, Beefheart's refusal to wear headphones while recording his vocals caused him to sing in time with studio reverberations, not the actual backing tracks — but by all accounts, the music and arrangements were carefully scripted and notated by the Captain, which makes the results even more remarkable. As one might expect from music so complex and, to many ears, inaccessible, the influence of Trout Mask Replica was felt more in spirit than in direct copycatting, as a catalyst rather than a literal musical starting point. However, its inspiring reimagining of what was possible in a rock context laid the groundwork for countless future experiments in rock surrealism, especially during the punk/new wave era.[/quote]

Voodoo Jive: The Best of...
by Screamin' Jay Hawkins


[quote]Screamin' Jay Hawkins — genius or lunatic? An investigation of Hawkins' body of work suggests these two options were hardly mutually exclusive in his case, and while he certainly tended to favor material that indulged his fondness for the vocal freak-out, the man also possessed a solid baritone voice and knew just what to do with it. (A careful examination of his music reveals that Screamin' Jay could sing "straight" and do it quite well if the occasion called for it — he simply wasn't asked to do so very often.) At his best, Hawkins was a musical eccentric in the great tradition of Spike Jones, Captain Beefheart, and Prince, determined to follow his own unique path, consequences be damned. Sadly, most of Hawkins' albums were wildly uneven, but Voodoo Jive: The Best of Screamin' Jay Hawkins filters out the duds to serve up 17 perverse gems from his work on a handful of labels; along with his biggest hit, the once-scandalous "I Put a Spell On You," you get such wonders of modern recording as "Alligator Wine" and "Feast of the Mau Mau," his singular interpretations of "I Love Paris" and "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)," and the definitive music statement on the inability to void, "Constipation Blues" (which actually charted in Japan, proving this theme truly spans cultural boundaries). If you're only going to own one Screamin' Jay Hawkins disc, Voodoo Jive is definitely the one to get, though we accept no responsibility for the reaction of your neighbors if you play "(She Put The) Wamee (On Me)" at three in the morning.[/quote]

Segundo intento, vuelvo a la carga con lo que antes se me quedo perdido. Os voy a poner un poquito de todo, variadito aunque dentro de unas coordenadas más o menos comunes. Espero que os guste alguno.

1. Empiezo por el principio y os pongo un par de discos que a pesar de tener más de una década siguen siendo actuales. Se trata de los dos largos de Codeine. Banda impulsora del slowcore a principios de los noventa y que han sido una influencia para muchisimos grupos en la última década.

Codeine - Frigid Stars (Sub pop, 1991)

CODEINE-Frigide_stars_LP_mp3_192Kbps_(+cover).rar

Codeine - The white birch (Sub pop, 1994)

Codeine-The White Birch-.zip

También tienen un ep largo "Barely real" del que no hay enlace en la mula, a ver si un día de estos lo comprimo y lo cuelgo.

Seguimos con una banda canadiense, de Toronto más concretamente: Broken Social Scene. Al igual que sus vecinos de Constellation, BSS podrían considerarse un grupo experimental o post-rock, lo que los diferenciaría de todos ellos es su espíritu pop. Este es su mejor album hasta la fecha:

Broken Social Scene - You forgot it in people (Paper bag, 2002)

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People - 2002 - Mp3 Vbr 192Kbps - Drdnl.ace

Lo siguiente, cambiando un poco de tercio, es el nuevo disco de Cocorosie, el duo revelación del año pasado editará su segundo disco el 12 de septiembre, pero ya lo tenemos aquí. En el seguirán explorando la creación de canciones con toques de folk a trip-hop partiendo de ruidos de juguetes y voces de cristal. Simplemente irresistible, son únicas y en directo espectaculares (quien pueda verlas que no se lo pierda).

Cocorosie - Noah's Ark (Touch & Go, 2005)

Para seguir os propongo un grupo del que todavía no he oido nada, lo tengo pinchado. Se trata de Grace Cathedral Park (el nombre ya me tira, se llaman igual que una de las mejores canciones de los Red House Painters). Además sólo he leido cosas buenas, son 9 y su música es completamente instrumental, utilizando diferentes recursos que irían desde guitarras acusticas, lap-steel o mismo una sección de cuerdas. Si al igual que a mi os pica la curiosidad:

Grace Cathedral Park - In The Evening Of Regret (La Verdad, 2004)

Lo siguiente que os propongo es una debilidad personal, Jessica Bailiff (habitual colaboradora de Low, a la vez que amiga). Os recomendaría cualquiera de sus discos, completamente sedantes y con guitarras liquidas cercanas al sonido shoegazer, aunque también con toques más experimentales. Este es el vinilo que se podía comprar en su ultima gira, es una actuación en directo para la radio holandesa.

Jessica Bailiff - Live on VPRO Radio Amsterdam (Brainwashed, 2005)

Malcom Middleton es el cantante del dúo escocés Arab Strap (grandísimo dúo, imprescindibles) acaba de editar su segundo disco en solitario. La principal característica en cualquier disco de este hombre son sus letras completamente personales, incluso íntimas. Los temas principales (a veces únicos) de sus discos son como no: el amor y el sexo. Si estais interesados os recomendaría también el impresionante "Philophobia" de Arab Strap.
