"Electricity", its title taken from the eponymous theremin-soaked 5th track, is nicely presented in a wide-spine 6-page carded case with a 12-page booklet. The band history notes by Harry Shapiro give a brief and refreshingly un-hyped overview, along with a few images.The two CDs provide a sharper audio menu of past vinyl material with 19 tracks, eight of which are from "Safe As Milk". The remainder are culled from the "Strictly Personal"/"Mirror Man" albums and the "It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper" sessions. Whilst this compilation joins the possibly needless stew of oft disjointed material issued since the band's demise, it does reflect some care and attention to detail. Personally, I would recommend an anthology like "The Dust Blows Forward" or the rarified atmosphere of a "Grow Fins" collection - but, if one is on a budget, then hopefully the modernity of the "Electricity" packaging will attract newcomers to the world of Beefheart and lead them to eventually acquire the real thing.

    Weirdo Eccentrics of the Margins & the Curse of Bel Canto

    Nick Hobbs / Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto -- 1 Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto © Nick Hobbs [email protected] (given at the Centre For Performance Research, Aberystwyth on 8.4.06) by Nick Hobbs This lecture is mostly taken from two lectures I wrote for the Pantheatre Voice Performance School: “Weirdo eccentrics of the margins & the curse of bel canto”, focused on the voice of the star of Popular music hell-canto, Captain Beefheart (nom-de-plume of Don Van Vliet), and "Singing whispers, croaks, growls and roars: An exploration of fractured voices from the Blues to Flamenco", which spoke, amongst many others, about Beefheart’s main mentor, the Chicago Blues singer, Howlin’ Wolf (nom-de-plume of Chester Burnett). During this week we’ve heard both hell and bel canto – Phil Minton and Natalka Polovynka to name two extremes. Enrique Pardo spoke about the image of Wolf as satyr and the myth of Marsyas’s challenge to Apollo - the aulos versus the lyre, and we’ve heard MaryAnn Roberts in Bragod, whose singing engages with the crwth, itself a descendent of lyre, but one whose buzzing timbre led her to use guttural sounds and overtone nasality in Bragod’s vocal palette. Both Wolf and Beefheart are firmly in the camp of hell canto, and I suppose were not capable of singing bel canto if they’d wanted to. Their voices correspond to their subject-matter and to their personae. Starting from their stage names, there’s a buffoon quality to both performers, giving them a kind of license to make barbed commentaries, to be nasty, wolfish, foxy and knowing.

This CD is ragged but right, all the way. 4/5 stars" – All Music Guide "[They] recast Captain Beefheart's tunes and make the case for him as a composer the equal of Thelonious Monk." – Nashville Scene "..Fast ‘N’ Bulbous are no next best thing: They are the big brass band [Captain Beefheart] never had. With bellowing horns arranged by saxophonist Phillip Johnston and pinpoint swordplay by ex-Magic Band guitarist Gary Lucas, Fast’N’Bulbous ignite the R&B gunpowder inside the tangled surrealism… The group attacks Van Vliet's songs with the same idiosyncratic precision that he drilled into his own musicians." – Rolling Stone Captain Beefheart's music is the quintessential 'outsider art music' of the second half of the 20th century. The blues-drenched Picasso of rock music, Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet) created a series of recordings from the 1960s to early 1980s that shattered assumptions regarding how modern American popular music could, or even should, be composed and interpreted. Before leaving music to pursue a life- long interest in painting, he created 10 albums of astonishingly creative music that shattered conventions in popular music as profoundly as cubism had impacted modern painting a half century before.

Agradecimentos Em primeiro lugar, um grande obrigado à Professora Adriana Bebiano e ao Professor Jonathan Auerbach – à primeira por ter sugerido que o trabalho que fiz para o seu seminário poderia ser aprofundado e transformado numa dissertação de mestrado, e ao segundo por ter renovado o meu entusiasmo pelo estudo académico deste autor tão singular e tão pouco considerado. Deixo também os meus agradecimentos aos meus pais, familiares, amigos e namorada, que tanta paciência tiveram face à necessária reclusão monástica durante os meses que demorei a redigir este texto. Uma palavra de apreço à minha mãe e aos meus amigos Ivo Ivanov e Mark Fitzgerald por terem lido e tecido comentários sempre muito profícuos para a qualidade da tese. Finalmente, queria dizer que fiquei muito reconhecido pela ajuda crucial, durante a revisão do trabalho, dada especialmente pela Professora Graça Capinha, mas também pela Professora Maria Irene Ramalho. Ambas contribuíram muito para a transparência na argumentação e para a coesão global do texto, qualidades que me esforcei para lhe imprimir, no sentido de cativar todos aqueles, académicos ou não, que sintam curiosidade em explorar o mundo assombroso do recentemente falecido, mas indelével, Captain Beefheart, a quem dedico com orgulho a presente dissertação.
