Not so much known about this group – as I understand they released this record themselves – and I think destroyed a sizable number of them. Looks like WFMU comped this track a bit back. Discogs [WFMU Compilation Information]; CrudCrud.blogspot.com [Additional Words/Review]

SYNTH BRITANNIA

Just came across this documentary that was produced and aired a few months ago by/on BBC Four. Focuses on the development of synthpop in England. I've gotten through the first three parts and so far it is amazing! Interviews with Kraftwerk, The Normal, Cab Voltaire. Unfortuanately 'Part 9/9' has been blocked due to the copyright infringement - most likely the rest will be blocked soon so watch it while you can!

More information available at BBC.co.uk.

I wish BBC would start broadcasting this stuff on BBC America already, or have DVDs of it available for purchase. I would totally blow some $$ on this - anything to make it available in the US in a form that won't be blocked...
























UPDATE: Thanks to www.ParalisisNYC.com, the tail end of would have been 'Part 9' is now available - approximately the last seven minutes:

Eskimo!

The Eskimo LP has always been one of my favorite Residents albums. Originally released back in 1979 as The Residents' Eskimo, this album was inspired by Intuit field recordings made by N. Senada. It has since been reissued a number of times under just Eskimo. In the same year as the record release, The Residents put forth a movie version of Eskimo, which was intended to be a visual representation of the album.

I bought this movie a few years back but never got around to watching it.....just found it on youtube and was able to check out a few snippets. The last track on the album, Festival of Death, has always been a favorite of mine. For your ammusement:



I have to say, the insertion of the Coca-Cola Polar Bear is a hoot - wonder if The Residents actually got some $$ for that from Coke.
