I agree. Im not a gearhead but seeing the evolution of their instrumentation woulda been really interesting. They kinda skimmed over that part despite the fact that they mentioned the residents are fascinated with technology and how it plays into their music.

The only memorable part where they went into their recording proccess was when their former piano collaborator went into detail about what it was like recording with them.

I listened to The Residents the other day for the first time. I kinda hated them.

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Some points on Eskimo could be legitimate ball gargling audio clips.

Duck Stab!, Meet the Residents, and Freak Show will give you a good idea of their discography.

I say go for Demons dance alone. IMO it's one of their most melodic albums.

Not Available is my favourite but I always forget to recommend that one. Listen to Not Available.

Saw them live not too long ago.


Anyways, I second Not Available. Anything they did up until Mark of the Mole is fantastic though.
