Eskimo Deconstructed

Including over 70 individual musical elements, chants, loops and sound effects recorded on location by the group in the mid-late 1970s, plus a backing CD of Arctic wind noise, this remarkable set provides unprecedented insight into the three years' recording and construction of a legendary album, and an opportunity for fans to 'walk around inside a masterpiece, the viewing angles almost infinite'. Conceived by The Residents partly in response to their satisfaction with the successful 'I Am a Resident' project and their fans' musical abilities, and with their own love of interfering with the music of their heroes in mind, 'Eskimo Deconstructed' represents a first.
