# The Dust Blows Forward

The Dust Blows Forward è una raccolta di brani musicali di Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band pubblicata dalla Rhino Records nel 1999.

## Il disco

Probabilmente si tratta della raccolta più completa ed esaustiva circa la musica di Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. Non solo contiene tracce che ripercorrono l'intera carriera del gruppo (mentre altre compilation si focalizzavano solo su determinati periodi), ma include anche brani rari persino per i collezionisti, come Little Scratch, proveniente dalle sessioni per Clear Spot, Light Reflected Off the Oceands of the Moon, tratta dall'omonimo EP, e Hard Workin' Man, dalla colonna sonora del film Tuta blu (1978).
