Prime weirdness from The Re
sidents! It's fair to con
sider Fingerprince as a transitional effort from the group, though it's not a dismissible one – it's out there, exciting and may be easier to get all the way through than some of the more anti-pop experiments they delivered in the mid-to-late 70s. It's probably not as confrontational as Meet The Re
sidents and Third Reich 'N Roll – or perhaps it just seems less vicious because the cover art isn't as confrontational.
Side one has shorter pieces, which seem to be informed by vintage exotica and field recordings, though it sounds like nothing but the Re
sidents.
Side 2 is a single long suite. Titles include "You Yesyesyes", "Home Age Conversation", "Godsong", "March De La Winni", "Bossy", "Boo Who?", "Tournequit Of Roses" and the the 17+ minute,
side-long "Six Things To A Cycle".
