Mark Of The Mole+intermission
Mute
INDIE
> MUTE is set to reissue THE RESIDENTS' epic 'The Mole Trilogy' on two deluxe special edition doubleCD sets.
> The first part of the trilogy, 'Mark Of The Mole', sees The Residents at their most electronic. Beginning with a pseudo radio broadcast (featuring a weather man, played by PENN JILLETTE of PENN & TELLER, warning of large storms heading for the Pit Area) we are first introduced to the Moles and their ethnic make up with "Won't You Keep Us Working", a prayer to the God of Darkness for nothing more than the privilege of being allowed to continue their labour. The prayer is answered by a ferocious and devastating storm, forcing the subterranean Moles to leave their home and travel in search of a new life.
> The Residents took The Mole Show on tour in the 90s and the CD 'Intermission' comprises of preshow, intermission and postshow music from the production.
> Elements of the live show together with visual documents related to these releases are permanently exhibited in the MUSEUM OF MODERN ART in NY where The Residents are credited as the inventors of modern performance and this new release, part of Mute's ongoing exploration of the band, shows them taking on one of their most ambitious projects to date.
> Hardback 32 page booklet double cd set with new liner notes and unseen pictures.
