- freak's amour: appeal to my rocket
(1998, cdr, usa, private release)
Released in a limited run on CDR, the album included a coverversion of Captain Beefheart's 'Orange Claw Hammer'.
Main man behind the project, Stuart Werner, added :
On this recording I interpreted a version of 'Orange Claw Hammer (OCH)'. I've listened to Captain Beefheart since high school and I had the pleasure to see the Captain in 1980.
The story behind covering "Orange Claw Hammer " is that a friend gave me the printed lyrics to all the material on Trout Mask Replica. I started reading and reciting the lyrics while listening to Trout Mask. I always loved OCH and focused in on that song. I found myself tooling around with some found sounds and loops. I then saw a connection between OCH and the test recordings. I put them together and the results are what you hear on "Appeal ..."
Great stuff !
A superb addition to The Magic Family, bands recording the music of Captain Beefheart.
