4.0 out of 5 stars Curates egg for Crow, curiously! 31 Jan 2009
By Smitty Werbenjaegermanjensen (real name) TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the end of the show for the musical Captain Beefheart. After this Don went of into the world of art, the art seen on the cover of the album behind the photo in fact.

The cd is remastered to great effect allowing aspects previously hidden to make themselves felt. The playing is of the usual high standard, an incredible standard really that was only obvious in live perfomance.

Mike Barnes provides superb liner notes which help to make sense of the album and the events surrounding its creation. To listen to this without some sort of guidance/assistance is like going to check out a movie whilst wearing a welders mask.

Basically this album was constructed from a mix of material from the late 60's up, reworked pieces from other albums and a handful of new recordings. It all hangs together fairly well. Some of the material here ranks along with Trout Mask for sheer avant garde approach and some is almost mainstream, well mainstream for Beefheart that is.

Ice Cream for Crow, Hey Garland, The Past Sure is Tense and Light Reflected off the Oceands of the Moon are, for me, the stand out tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ho Ho! The Captain is on top form. 21 April 2012
Format:Audio CD
This and Shiny Beast are must buys. He's up there with Zappa in the genius league and this album proves it. From the opening title tack right through you won't be disappointed. Sheer brilliance!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::::o))))))

4.0 out of 5 stars The last work from Don Van Vliet 1 April 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is yet more fascinating stuff from the mighty Captain Beefheart. It is shall we say pretty "angular" so is not as easily accessible as "Safe as milk", "Clear spot or "Shiny beast" but it is an essential purchase nonetheless, particularly since it has been remastered with the bonus track "Light reflected off the oceans of the moon"."Low yo yo stuff"....

4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Bow as the Curtain Calls - 8.3/10
Product came A-OK and all that stuff.

Beefheart here makes his last album, and the third album back to the drawing board. But this drawing board is Trout Mask. Read more

GET THIS. It may be his last but his albums were getting exceptional towards the end. It is still well worth IT even WITH just one song you might latch onto. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Tonight there'd be ice cream, ice cream for crow.
The Captain bows out on an immpeccable high. The high priest of avant-dust-rock-blues-jazz-speak-pink-child-hammer-music leaves with an album full of humour, fun, style and poetry. Read more

Some fans love this one. Not me. By now, the Captain had almost given up singing (or roaring and bellowing, should I say) in favour of poetry recitations. Read more
