Review

San Francisco's anonymous Residents are a concept band with a penchant for concept albums. This equally frightening and funny grab bag contains the remastered contents of Residue, the group's 1983 collection of outtakes and compilation tracks, along with odds and sods from the later '80s. The early material will please Residents purists who prefer their predigital primitivism. But it's the two later song cycles--"The Replacement" and "Safety Is a Cootie Wootie"--that really startle us through a postrock, pre-electronica combination of terror, absurdity, and childlike fun. Even their parodies of easy targets like Elvis Presley ("Jailhouse Rock") or the Monkees ("Daydream Believer") have as much to do with underlining the cultural power of pop music as with inspiring a few cheap laughs. And if you've ever wondered what free-jazzer Sun Ra and soul boss Barry White might have in common, check out "Daydream in Space." --Richard Gehr
