The Firesign Theatre - I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus (1971)
Quote:
|
One of the best and most profound Firesign albums. Take a stroll on the Funway with Clem and Barney, stand on that yellow rubber line and, if you ask the right questions, the President may answer. In this theme park of the future, it's all laid out in easy to swallow government inflicted doses, but the metaphor is clearly pointing to the real time, screwed up world of American bureaucracy circa 1971, and it's just as relevant in 1998. Clem's clone finally breaks through and asks the big question, and then it's back to the shadows again. This one is so deeply layered you could go nuts trying to catalog the events. And that's good.

The Firesign Theatre - Give Me Immortality Or Give Me Death (1998)
Quote:
|
It's the eve of the Millennium and things are unraveling fast. Radio Now, which changes format every few minutes to stay up with the focus groups, is bringing us special coverage of all the events leading up to the big Princess Goddess Doll Drop. Meanwhile cars and coffee makers are coming apart with Y2K problems. Guys with eyeball hats are either cleaning up Fun Fun Town's morality or spreading Ebola virus, it's hard to tell. Time for a station break, Ralph Spoilsport sells us used body parts and monolithic corporation US Plus tries to make us feel good about their owning the very idea of America. Back to the talk shows where fringe groups are getting brain cramps. Please stop pulling my string! Cut to breaking news. But there's a news drought. Everybody's waiting to see what happens as the Millennium inches ever closer... like... a... slow... motion... disaster... movie... called... Glacier. Goodbye to 19 Anything!

The Firesign Theatre - The Pink Hotel Burns Down (1996)
Quote:
|
The curios and artifacts enshrined on this 1996 release include their very first recording from 1967, International Youth on Parade. Another Pre- Electrician delight, the Goon-Show-like "By the Light of the Silvery" is a two part piece that later evolved into "The Giant Rat of Sumatra." Also there's the very funny "Exorcism in Your Daily Life." Mainly it's early work but the title piece is the cybernetic pilot for their 1985 album, Eat or Be Eaten. A worthy addition to your collection.

The Firesign Theatre - In The Next World You're On Your Own (1975)
Quote:
|
Another of the great channel-flipping mind trip albums from Firesign Theatre. In THIS world, we're introduced to lonely police officer Random Coolzip, a man on the edge, a man who buys drive-through cocktails while on duty as he tries to forget. Meanwhile, the soap opera that is his life plays out on every channel as surrounding events, from terrorists at the Academy Awards to the integration of lotus-like aliens in Major League Baseball, conspire to drive him ever crazier. It is from this record that we learn there's a whole dead cat in every bar of Dead Cat Soap, and it is this album that contains the classic line, shouted by an excited and confused terrorist, "EAT FASCIST DEATH, FLAMING MEDIA PIGS!" Forget the critics who said it wasn't great Theatre; The Next World is absolutely essential.

The Firesign Theatre - Fighting Clowns (1980)
Quote:
|
Fighting Clowns reunited the Firesign foursome just in time to greet the Reagan era. If ever they were needed, they were needed then. The format was a departure from previous albums, presenting the quartet in a musical review. The satire was a little broader, more politically pointed and somewhat less texturally dense than the classic albums, but the Bozos were back in the nick of time. With a generous helping of help from Jeff Baxter, who performed lead guitar chores and then some, the album pointed out that the incidental music which all of the albums featured at some point was more important than was always apparent, and that there were genuine musical satire chops at play here. And play it was, with the group working together and sounding happier about it than they had in some time. It kicked off a continued reunion that produced the next round of Firesign recordings, a sort of second golden age, and holds a unique and important place in the Firesign discography.

Firesign Theatre - Everything You Know Is Wrong (1974)
Quote:
|
After dedicating a half a decade to crafting albums designed to make you wonder if you knew anything at all, the Firesign Theatre announced that Everything You Know Is Wrong! As if you didn't know that all along... This time the fellas take a peek through the reality tunnel of a desert dwelling broadcaster obsessed with aliens, conspiracies and various other curious phenomena. Happy Harry Cox seems to have tapped the space/time continuum himself, channeling Art Bell way back in '73. As Harry himself might say, "Could be, could be!" One of the great Firesign performances, Everything You Know was buried amidst a rush of solo and duet projects and a couple of their less successful efforts. It's worth uncovering.

Firesign Theatre - Not Insane or Anything You Want to (1972)
Quote:
|
You might find this one with a rusty plastic dagger embedded in it. Coming after Bozos in late 1972, Not Insane or Anything You Want To is the album version of their movie, The Martian Space Party, so it's mostly recorded in live performance. Not Insane doesn't have a single story line, it's three or four long sketches rolled into one, full of spacey sound effects, a radio prison, psuedo-Shakespeare and political humor. It even features a Bergman lead vocal on the blusey title song. A standout part is George Papoon's nomination for President by the Surrealist Party, running on a platform six inches high so no one falls off, while Glutamoto fights to keep the current president from getting off. If you don't like it we're Not Responsible.

The Firesign Theatre - Dear Friends (1972)
Quote:
Originally released as a multi-LP set, this compilation offers some of
the best bits from their syndicated radio program, Dear Friends that was condensed from a twelve hour LP package sold to radio stations across the US in the early seventies.
No standard characters or long sketches, just four guys sitting around a table and messing with our – and each other’s – minds. The largely improvised verbal jam sessions will tie your brain in knots like a pretzel. Falling asleep with this playing will severely tax your ability to maintain any semblance of normal human cognition the following day.
This is probably the rawest (philosophically speaking) form to experience the power of the hellish brains of Ossman, Austin, Bergman and Proctor, still at it after forty years.

The Firesign Theater - Waiting For The Electrician Here (1968)
Quote:
|
A classic for those hoary hairy hippies among us who remember our Beatles lyrics. This first Firesign album was released at the Haight, sorry, the height of the Revolution on the 38th of Cunnegonde, 1968. On side one Dr. Tim treats us to a paisley sunrise but can't find anything for his acid stomach. Then the revolutionary government seeks to correct all that is unhip, mandating all to drop out, even subjecting Nigeria to a bombardment of "The Naked Lunch" to enforce its grooviness. The supremely Kafkaesque title piece occupying all of side two (TFT's first extended piece and a breakthrough in recorded comedy) takes a confused tourist into a shadowy world of Byzantine fascists. Strangers in an elevator speak first in Russian, reply in French and somehow still understand each other. Lord Kitchener is overthrown. Our traveler escapes the Winter Palace only to be thrown in prison where he must Beat the Reaper to survive the plague and escape, ending up breathless on side six for another lesson in Turkish. Perhaps the most poignant and lasting piece is the first, a short history of the American Indians, Temporarily Humboldt County. Few vinyl copies of Electrician survive because most had to be returned for regrooving. Beautifully recorded and worth repeated listenings on headphones, Electrician still has the power to amuse, amaze and mystify after thirty years.

The Firesign Theatre - How Can You Be In Two Places At Once (1969)
Quote:
|
This is the clear choice of most Firesign fans when it comes time to try to convert a friend to the ways of the 4 or 5 guys. Reason? Because one side is as close to conventional humor as Firesign would ever step. Nick Danger, 3rd Eye, may be based on Phillip Marlowe, but in this world you can count on the plot twists being almost more than your mind can absorb. A witness to a murder exclaims "at the last possible moment, he stopped on a dime! ...Unfortunately, the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket." Young men grow old in seconds via time machines, cornstarch tires are advised, and Roosevelt throws in the towel. Once your friend is open to suggestion, flip it over and allow the full force of Firesignian wit blow him or her away. How Can You Be In Two Places At Once (When You're Not Anywhere At All) puts you in the driver's seat of a motorhome like no other. Our advice? Keep your hands off the Climate Control, take the old Antelope (exit 1/128th mile) and head out for an adventure in psychotic America. No matter which side you drop the needle on, you've got yourself some thinking to do.

The Firesign Theatre - Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers (1970)
Quote:
|
Having closed out the 60s with a pair of comic masterpieces that were drawing comparisons to no less than James Joyce, the Firesign Theatre had to enter the 70s with a bit of trepidation. Expectations were almost as high as their audience. Well, why not roll out a comprehensive overview of a half a century or so of popular culture, filtered through the dreams, visions and viewing habits of a new installment of the Firesign everyman, George Tirebiter. Why not, indeed. So they did, and along the way came up with the album that has been lauded as their creative peak and attacked as an indecipherable riddle sans punch line For the hardcore, it's precisely the album's initial inaccessibility that makes it great. For the casual listener, it's probably not the best starting place. But like any fun house, you just won't get the full effect without spending some time in the hall of mirrors. Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers is an album every Firesign fan has to come to eventual grips with. The good news is that it's worth every ounce of effort.
