King & Eye : Rmx, the Remix edition

Newly recorded, first release of this remix project. In 1989 The Residents recorded an album of Elvis hits called The King & Eye. Anyone familiar with the group's work would not be surprised to hear no attempt at recreating the original arrangements. In fact a great deal of thought went into re-interpreting the songs and digging into their freudian undertones, usually overlooked in the lyrics. Fifteen years later, in 2003, The Residents asked German remix whiz, Paralyzer, to listen to the original 24 track master recording and see what he would do to re-interpret their album, not unlike what they had done to Elvis's original material, and make it more relevant to the 21st century. Paralyzer accepted the challenge but asked the group to give him free rein in reconstructing the pieces. Excitedly, The Residents agreed. Euroralph/Germany. 2005.
