The most twisted twist.

Introducing the Residents....

The Residents is an American avant-garde music and visual arts collective who have created over sixty albums, created numerous musical short films, designed three CD-ROM projects and ten DVDs, and undertaken six major world tours. Throughout their career, spanning nearly four decades, they have maintained complete anonymity. All public relations, interviews and promotions are handled by their spokesgroup, The Cryptic Corporation.

This is Wikipedia's summary of the Residents. mine is so much shorter and succinct...one Twisted Act !

I have been a fan of the residents since the 'Meet the Residents' release in 1972..so I've been listening to this..often described as torture by some of my closest friends even after brain scrabbling efforts to open our ears and minds to the weird and utterly insane...since I was around 14.

It may have something to do with the constant flattened 5ths harmony which always gives a twisted feel, but I find it chllenging and just that little bit novel.

Anyways here is a link to a little known Prince cover.


Enjoy the aural assault !
