At first listen, Doc at the Radar Station is cacophonous, atonal, and jagged. It's the same after repeated listenings, but by then the whimsical humor, blissful invention, melodic turnabouts, and even warmth shine through. Some of the songs on the disc were originally written in between Beefheart's two strongest records, 1969's mind-blowing Trout Mask Replica and 1970's merrymaking Lick My Decals Off, Baby. Doc at the Radar Station was made with a newly energized, younger Magic Band featuring Eric Drew Feldman, Robert Williams, and Gary Lucas. With their help, old man Beefheart was blowing chunks of lyrical beauty ("Making Love to a Vampire with a Monkey on My Knee") and mystical, rollicking, blues-baked skronk ("Run Paint, Run, Run") with the same force as PIL, Pere Ubu, or any other postpunks of the day that adulated the man.
