The Residents – Not Available
Freakmaster General Maconie presents 120 minutes of not normal songs that range from desolate and challenging to shiny and beautiful. Tonight Stuart looks at The Residents' album 'Not Available'.
Two hours of musical brainstew courtesy of Great Uncle Stuart. Each week, Freakmaster General Maconie presents 120 minutes of not-normal songs that range from desolate and challenging to shiny and beautiful. Expect lush soundscapes, banging beats, angular guitars and tender instrumentals all within minutes of each other, presided over with fathomless knowledge by your gracious host. Not exactly what you'd call mainstream, but it cuts deep and oozes non-pretentious musical profundity.
Recorded in 1974 this weeks featured album was immediately locked away in a bank vault never to be seen again. Created by art-rockers The Residents under the Theory of Obscurity it was never intended to be heard by an audience and would live in obscurity until the band had completely forgotten it’s existence. The record company had other ideas, and tonight you can hear three of the five tracks from this elusive release.
