Title: What is Reality?
Product review: This Firesign album has a very "live" feel, with most of the trickery being done by clever use of microphones or voice. The "Antelope Freeway" scene, where John Q Smith passes endless meaningless road signs and billboards is a superb example of pure live audio theater entertainment -- the effects just coudn't work in a visual medium, and need no high-tech equipment.Ultimate purists will still prefer to own the vinyl version, as this album contains at least a couple of references to itself, (as do many of their other albums). "Didn't I say that on the other side of the record?" says Nick Danger on the track on side 2, then actually plays back some of side 1 backwards. "It's okay, they're speaking Chinese!"Like Spike Milligan ("T'ank heaven the ground broke me fall"), the Firesign Theater pokes fun at Reality Itself. Brilliant.
