Twelve inch vinyl repressing of this 1979 EP from the Bay Area Avant-Garde band. Founded by Steven Brown and Blaine Reininger in San Francisco, Tuxedomoon are a futuristic alternate reality of delirium and existential dread. Scream With a View, recorded surreptitiously in The Residents' private studio in 1979, advances brilliant melodic concepts through analog technology for a sound barely comprehensible today. On 'Where Interests Lie,' punchy drum machine underlies barbed and eerie leads from guitarist Michael Belfer (The Sleepers). '(Special Treatment for the) Family Man' - a reference to Dan White's trial for the assassination of San Francisco's mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk in 1978 - is an indignant vigil cut with a rare brand of macabre humor. Saxophone, Polymoog, violin, e-bowed guitar, and CB radio interference make Scream With a View the insidious foil to the urgent No Tears EP.
