Mojo (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Their least conventional album, it sounds as simultaneously out of time and novel as it ever did."

Product note

When SOLID PLEASURE first hit the racks in the early 1980s (on the Residents' very own Ralph Records label), few were prepared. The bizarre trio, comprising electronics maven Boris Blank, guitarist/sound sampler Carlos Peron, and Swiss wacko Dieter Meier, was a breath of fresh air in the moribund synth-pop scene. Opening with the ping-pong analog funk of "Bimbo," an utterly original panoply of sounds ran throughout the record's two sides like some mysterious serpent twisting its way into the jungle underbrush. Simply put, you've never heard anything quite like it.
You might call the catchy gurgling electronic beats and wheezing sounds of "Blue Green" synth-pop, but if this is popular music then we need to re-evaluate Stockhausen's catalog. However, SOLID PLEASURE is indeed pop; there's a strange accessibility to this kaleidoscope of intangible sounds and rhythms. Oddball, obscure, obtuse--acquiring SOLID PLEASURE will convince even the most jaded '80s throwback that there was some integrity to that discombobulated time.
