The Residents

The Residents are an avant-garde music and visual arts collective who have created over sixty albums, created numerous musical short films, designed three CD-ROM projects, ten DVD's, 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.

Now The Residents explained as Lolicat sees them? The most fucked up, disturbing bunch of fuckers to ever make music. Their music seems at first annoying, even silly, but the more you listen to it, the further you get dragged into a nightmare world of surreal happenings. The Residents are the real soundtrack to the End.

Animal Lover: http://www.mediafire.com/?13x9xzdj2md

Of the two albums, Animal Lover is the better, as well as being the more disturbing.

Björk- Medúlla

The album is almost entirely a cappella and constructed with human vocals; only few musical instruments are featured: a bass synthesizer on "Who Is It", piano on "Ancestors" and a gong on "Pleasure Is All Mine". However, the vocals are sometimes processed or sampled: for example, the atmospheric haze that dominates "Desired Constellation" was created from a sample of Björk singing the phrase "I'm not sure what to do with it" from "Hidden Place" on her previous album, Vespertine.

The album features beatboxing, choral arrangements and throat singing, as well as guest appearances by such artists as Mike Patton, Robert Wyatt, Tagaq, Rahzel (formerly of The Roots), Shlomo and Dokaka.

All songs were written by Bjork, except the lyrics for "Sonnets/Unrealities XI" which was based on a poem by E. E. Cummings, and the song "Vökuró", originally by Jórunn Viðar.

Personally, I think that this is one of Björk's most beautiful and expressive albums, and it's easy to forget that it's all made with human voices. It's a bizarre and fragile album, and definately worth a listen, if only for interest and not enjoyment. I hope that you do enjoy this album though, because it's one of my favourites.
