French Frith Kaiser Thompson - Invisible Means

John French - original drummer with Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, Fred Frith - founder of the art-rock ensemble Henry Cow, Henry Kaiser - innovative experimental guitarist and composer, and Richard Thompson - founding member of Fairport Convention.This second oddball masterpiece from four of the world's finest experimental master musicians was originally released in 1990. Together French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson conjure up a heady mix, covering a bewildering variety of genres, from folk and R&B to avant-garde and comic opera.Underpinning the whole album is the extraordinary level of their musicianship. Amongst the highlights are John French's hilarious Now That I Am Dead (in which a deceased musician discovers death is the career boost he's being waiting for) and Richard Thompson's remarkable Begging Bowl and the simply stunning Killing Jar.Re-mastered by Henry Kaiser from the original master tapes. Digipac packaging using all elements of the original artwork. Plus a previously unreleased live cover of the Stones' Play With Fire.
