Product Description

Album Details

2008 digitally remastered edition of this classic Residents album. In 1979 "Punk" music was all the rage. The Residents had gone though their Punk stage three years earlier with the release of their single 'Satisfaction' and were ready for anything that was not Punk. They decided it was a good time to make the jump into World Music, since by their own calculations it would not become popular for several more years. They scanned the map for a proper culture to exploit and, not finding one, became discouraged until seeing a large Coke sign featuring Santa Claus. Immediately they realized they had overlooked the North Pole because it is made of ice and therefore didn't exist on their world map. And so, Eskimo was born. And what a birth it was! Imagine the sound of Eskimos mating, hunting and calling upon their spirits, then add wind, snow and odd music and you've pretty much covered this album! Mute.

5.0 out of 5 stars 匠の世界, 2002/11/13
このレビューの引用元: Eskimo (CD)
ジャケが素敵すぎるレジデンツの名盤。ルックスの奇妙さもさることながら、彼等の音楽性も相当特殊である。

このアルバムだが、最初に彼等に触れるにはちょっとキツイ作品かもしれない。音楽といえるかどうか迷ってしまうようなシロモノだ。極寒の地を吹き荒れる吹雪の音、民族楽器のスローテンポなドラム、歌というよりは呪文のようにバックでゴニョゴニョ言ってる奇妙な声、なにやら不思議な世界に迷い込んでしまったような感覚に襲われてしまう。ヘッドフォンで聴くと、その臨場感は倍増だ。身震いしてしまう。

4.0 out of 5 stars 夏必聴のアルバム！, 2006/10/13
たぶん彼らの音楽に初めて触れるなら『Duck Stab/Buster & Glen』や『Commercial Album』なんかの方が解かりやすい（…か？）気もするが、どうせいつかは聴くはめになるアルバムだろう。
ライナーに書いてあるように暖かい毛布に包まりヘッドフォンで聴くのが定跡だが、真冬にこのアルバムを聴いたら薄ら寒くなる事必死!!…やはりこのアルバムで真夏をクーラー無しで乗り切るのが正解と思われる。
ただ音楽というより、わりとイメージ演出が過剰な部分もあるので１夏に一度聴いたら何回も聴く気になれないのが弱点かも、だから星４つ。
また当然のようにデジパックによるジャケットの完成度は本当に素晴らしい。
