Quasimoto / The Residents

there are lots of parralels between Quasimoto's "The
Unseen" and The Residents' "Not Available". did you realize
that?

Basis Approach: To record "The Unseen" Madlib became
"Quasimoto", he chose a (new) pseudonym. To record "Not
Available" the individual members became the anonymous band
"The Residents". Both artists created a new identity
forthemselves.
Quasimoto's intention when recording "The Unseen" was to do
an album on which he just does what he wants not caring
about how it will sell. The Residents claim that they
recorded "Not Available" only forthemselves, not intending
to release it at all (unless they would forget they recorded
it, then it'd be okay to release it). Both artists didnt
want to satisfy an audience but themselves.

Musically: Both records use high-pitched voices a lot. While
"Not Available" is based on Rock "The Unseen" is based on
HipHop, but both albums have a general melancholic and
surreal tone and lots of jazz influences. Even though both
records have an unrealistic tone they seem to capture -
humanity - and the individual, subjective human perception
and therefore sound very "human".

Actually I dont really care about such shit. But i just
realized the parralels and thought "Wow! Lots of parralels,
crazy shit!"
