Cassiber ‎– "Beauty & The Beast" (Rē Records ‎– Re 0110) 1984


  Cassiber's best album,which doesn't sound like an improv Bow Wow Wow, and sounds better than any Heiner Goebbels album. It does have a more “out” version of Robert Wyatt's cover version of Chic's “At Last I am Free”; which is another of my funeral songs (the Wyatt version). I do however like the concept of doing covers of covers,of covers; kinda like musical chinese whispers,where the end version sounds nothing at all like the original.

The album, as a whole, is more prog stained avant jazz filtered through Faust and Zappa than is considered healthy for any open mind 'that ain't so open that anything can fall right in'(Magazine 1978).

Tracklist :

A1 Six Rays 4:04
A2 Robert 4:52
A3 Last Call 3:01
A4 Ach Heile Mich 6:26
