THE RESIDENTS, FINGERPRINCE, ON RALPH RECORDS (RR1276) 1976. This is the first pressing of 1,000 copies, this was thier 4th lp, released right after The Third Reich & Roll, and one of the stranger of thier lps, but at the same time has that catchyness to it, like all the Residents lps. Side one gives us eight samples of the Residents working in shorter complete song structures, as opposed to thier better known 'train of consciousness' formats, which is retained on the second side. Side two is interesting in the fact it is written as a ballet. The plot concerns how man, represented as a primative humanoid, is consumed by his self-created environment only to be replaced by a newer creature, still primative, still faulty, but destined to rule the world just as poorly. The basic unit of the musical construction was written in 1972 and used as a rhythmic element in the performance of NUMBER ONE, an early conceptual piece for improvisational orchestra. The Residents decided to expand the idea into a ballet when the oppertunity arose to do a performance as San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. Although the performance was never given, the Residents completed this shorter version of the score, which the Residents describe as 'progressive bunny-hop.'
