Roadworms (The Berlin Sessions)

"On July 7th, 1999 The Residents entered the SFB Sendesaal studio in Berlin with the idea of documenting arrangements the band had been playing on their Wormwood Tour. The ambitious tour has started the previous April and was headed into its final two weeks. Though the shows had been recorded, the group felt that removing the demands of performance and the associated masks and costumes would allow for a better musical focus. The songs were played in real time by the ensemble. Most were captured in one take to digital 24 track tape. In February, and March of 2000, the tape was mixed, edited and overdubbed by The Residents." (notes from release) Package design [...] of 4=1.
