专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

This is actually a soundtrack album, featuring music originally composed to accompany the Residents' interactive CD-ROM entitled Bad Day on the Midway. If the notes to this album are any indication, the CD-ROM program is a masterpiece of grim humor, a tour of a circus from hell (complete with freak show) -- tracks with titles like &Dagmar, the Dog Woman,& &I Ain't Seen No Rats,& and &Lottie the Human Log& are pretty revealing of the general tenor of this music, though most of it is instrumental. Some of these tunes are jaunty in a creepy sort of way, others are atmospheric in a foreboding kind of way, and the occasional spoken word bits tend to be amusing in a demeaning sort of way. Those spoken parts start getting creepy in the wrong way by the end of the program -- the trailer trash parodies start feeling kind of mean spirited by that point, and mean-spiritedness isn't normally what this band is about. But the music itself is as well realized as anything the Residents have ever done; the textures are denser and the ideas more fully developed than usual. Fans will want both the CD-ROM and this soundtrack.
