Our Take

Ah, The Residents, those enigmatic avant-garde pioneers who never fail to surprise and challenge their listeners. Their 1977 album "Fingerprince" is a true masterpiece of sonic exploration and experimentation, and this preserved edition is a glorious treat for fans old and new.

From the opening track "You Yesyesyes" to the haunting closer "Godsong," this album is a wild ride through a musical landscape unlike any other. The Residents' trademark blend of strange rhythms, dissonant melodies, and bizarre lyrics is on full display here, taking the listener on a journey that is equal parts terrifying and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Tourniquet of Roses" and "Golden Guy" showcase the Residents' uncanny ability to create hauntingly beautiful soundscapes that linger in the mind long after the music has stopped. And who could forget the classic "Walter Westinghouse," with its hypnotic groove and unsettling vocal effects?

In this preserved edition, the album's original tracks are lovingly remastered, bringing out every subtle nuance and sonic detail. The accompanying bonus material, including unreleased tracks and live recordings, adds even more depth and richness to the overall listening experience.

Overall, "Fingerprince Preserved" is a must-have for any serious music lover. The Residents have once again proven themselves to be true innovators in the world of avant-garde music, and this album is a testament to their enduring creativity and vision. Highly recommended for fans of the weird and wonderful.
