Ballazan
The skillful deconstructions undertaken by The Residents allowed them to create their own musical language: a kind of marriage dada and pop. The first side of 'Fingerprince' consists of short pieces. It is a blueprint for several subsequent albums. “Six Things To A Cycle” occupies the second side and lasts more than 17 minutes. Written for a ballet, it is constructed from a variety of percussion where one feels the influence of composer Harry Partch. The abundance of congas and other percussion instruments also betrays the influence of certain world music, especially African. The complexity of the percussive frame eventually reconciled with the weird world of The Residents that materializes with the appearance of toy instruments and sad melodies – their trademark. 'Fingerprince' is a very well done album that clearly goes off the beaten track. Originally, it was supposed to have 3 sides. The tracks that couldn’t be included on the record we’re released on the EP 'BabyfingerM. This rare 7 inch contains 4 tracks including the superb piece “Walter Westinghouse.”© Alain Cliche 2016
