The Residents originally envisioned The Commercial Album, as a reinvention of the Top Forty format. With this concept the group attempted to revolutionise the way popular music was heard. The concept behind the material is explained in these 5 points:
Point one: Pop music is mostly a repetition of two types of musical and lyrical phrases, the verse and the chorus.
Point two: These elements usually repeat three times in a three minute pop song
Point three: Eliminate the excess and a pop song is only one minute long.
Point four: One minute is also the length of most commercials, and therefore their corresponding jingles.
Point five: Jingles are the folk music of America.
Conclusion: THE RESIDENTS' COMMERCIAL ALBUM

a true classic - and back in it's original format (meaning = the 40 tracks only).
well, i don't know why ralph/euro ralph doesn't want the many extra tracks from the older cd-releases on theirs...
neverhteless - wonderful! although 128 is a bit cheap for rez, but at least one doesn't have to wait so long with 37mb... ;) (don't get me wrong - i'm not complaining)
What a great disc. Thanks again!
Older files Lucky. Before I had a dvd-burner. was trying to save space w/ low bit-rates and even wma sometimes...
Lost more to come, I know a collector that has almost the entire discog. Just a matter of time. :)
Thanx a lot! Great music.
Fantastic! When you have limits on your internet traffic, 128kbps is a-ok! Thank you,
John
