Freak Show/Freak Show Soundtrack
Freak Show marked the beginning of the Residents' obsession with emerging computer technology in the 1990s. Not only was much of the music made with various MIDI devices, it also served as the basis for a CD-ROM of the same name that was released in 1994, a stage performance by a theater company in Prague in the mid-1990s, and a comic book. Several of the songs were also performed live during the 1997 25th anniversary concerts at the Fillmore in San Francisco. After the CD-ROM's success, the album was re-released as The Freak Show Soundtrack with a different cover. A limited edition, The Freak Show Special Edition, was released in 2002 as part of their 30-year anniversary.
