THE RESIDENTS The Voice Of Midnight (2007 UK 12-track CD album - When The Residents decided to base their new album on the idea of dreams, they were drawn to composer and horror & fantasy writer E.T.A. Hoffman's obscure 19th century short story.Feeling the original story [which took place in the early 1800's] was too distant, they set it in contemporary times, modernizing many of its elements; the result remains amazingly true to Hoffman's nightmarish vision of a young man haunted bymacabre memories from his youth, who tries but ultimately fails to escape the siren song of The Sandman)
