A lot of us miss Captain Beefheart. But not to the extent that we'll buy GR and his Expansion, Full-Blown or not. They sound like a very stoned van Vliet tribute band having an extended rehearsal. But, who knows? Desperate nostalgics will pony up for any old toss, it would seem, these days. How else to explain the still-burgeoning market for professional musicopyists? Anyway, the world of GR and co. has all the ingredients if you like your soundage rambling and self-consciously 'weird'. I've found weirder things in my socks after a run, to be honest, but there you go. Maybe I should've taken something before listening - something to counteract the sedative effects of the music, perhaps. It's my own fault, though - an opening track nearly thirteen minutes long? The writing was on the trout mask from the start.
