ALIENO DE BOOTES - UNCONVENTIONAL RESIDENTS - ALTERNATES & OUTTAKES

Klanggalerie just announced a third volume of Alieno De Bootes' tribute to The Residents and that's something that I'm really looking forward to.
"Unconventional Residents" offers an adventurous way to rediscover the music of The Residents !

Alessandro Pizzin (a.k.a Alieno deBootes) continues his unconventional reinterpretation of The Residents' music with this third volume of mutated well-known themes of the legendary American art combo.
The usual international guest list featured on this Unconventional Residents III CD is even more interesting this time with the inclusion of Brian Poole/Renaldo M (Renaldo & The Loaf), Amy Denio (Tone Dogs, Pale Nudes, Tiptons) and William D Drake (Cardiacs) featured here together with the usual musical friends like Ken Field (Birdsongs of the Mesozoic/Revolutionary Snake Ensemble), Christophe Godin (Mörglbl), James Larcombe (Stars in Battledress), Luis Gonzalez (Caballero Reynaldo), Masha Galvan & Spike Delgado (The Bootes Trio). On the Italian side of the lineup for the first time featured here are Piergiuseppe Ciranna (lead vocalist from Alieno's band Ruins, active since 1979), Pedro Bortoluzzi (clarinet), Anu (multi-instrumentalist also from the aforementioned Ruins) and the Yahozna Band (with whom Alieno recorded and co-produced an album of unconventional"Frank Zappa music back in 1995).

In the meantime, to ease the wait, Klanggalerie released "Alternates & Outtakes".
Make sure to check out track number 7, 'You YesyesyYes' for the fine reference to Frank Zappa's 'Inca Roads'.
Love it !!

Since the beginning of the Unconventional Residents project, Alieno deBootes has recorded, arranged, adapted, processed and completed a lot of stuff. Thanks to the collaboration of other great italian and international friends and musicians, he was able to realize a project he had been working on for a long time: publish a non-conventional reinterpretation of the music of one of the most interesting and influential groups in his listening experience. With the involvement of Klanggalerie Records it was therefore possible to publish the first two volumes of these collections, characterized by decidedly unusual interpretative choices, especially considering the uniqueness of the musical material we are talking about. On the eve of the forthcoming publication of the third volume of Unconventional Residents, Alieno deBootes and Klanggalerie have agreed to collect some of the recordings made so far through the choice of alternative versions of the songs that appeared in the two previous volumes, as well as a preview of the contents of the next album (also in this case with "alternate versions") and some curious outtakes that did not find space in the final compilations of the albums produced so far. It is a sort of Christmas present that precedes the official release of the third chapter scheduled for the beginning of winter 2024.
