The Residents Commercial Album DVD

The Residents Release DVD for the 25th Anniversary of "The Commercial Album"

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Commercial Album, the DVD will both complement and complete the project with an amazing collection of 56 one-minute films based on the original 40 Commercial Album songs. The Residents have also assembled a group of 42 visual artists from around the world for production. Working in various forms ranging from animation, live action, and puppetry to drawing, photography and sculpture, the disc is a virtual film festival. In addition, the DVD portrays an innovative, game-like interface that allows the audience to explore a maze in the process of watching the videos. It contains an unpredictable series of interactive features as it reveals the 56 videos created by The Residents and their collaborators.

There are video streams below of 3 clips, they are formatted in both lo (Dial Up) and HI (High Speed) and are available in both Windows and Real formats.

The Residents are now entering its fourth decade as faceless anti-stars, existing in the dim outskirts of mainstream awareness. During that entire time, they've consciously kept their origins and personal lives shrouded in mystery. The creation of this obviously contrived "mystery" was one of the first decisions they reached after realizing that they had become a group - something they define as an organism with a mind, will and direction of its own. The essence of this decision was to aggressively create a separation between their personal and professional lives. Anonymity was, and is, their only rule. They live by it to this day.
