	Eskimo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eskimos, or Esquimaux, are terms used to refer to people who inhabit the circumpolar region (excluding Scandinavia and most of Russia, but including the easternmost portions of Siberia).
		The Eskimos are related to the Aleuts and the Alutiiq from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska as well as the Sug'piak from the Kodiak Islands and as far as the Prince William Sound in southcentral Alaska.
		The term "Eskimo" is an exonym that is not generally used by Eskimos themselves.

	Eskimo Joe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their second album A Song Is A City was released in Australia on May 16, 2004 and the first single "From The Sea" debuted in the ARIA Top 40 as well as reaching the top of the Triple J Net 50 and was voted number 3 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2004.
		Despite the fact that the first heat was one of their first gigs playing together, Eskimo Joe won the competition with prizes of a slot on the Livid Festival and a session in a recording studio.
		The "Girl" album made the top 40 of the Australian album charts on release and went gold with tracks like "Planet Earth" and "Who Sold Her Out" receiving airplay on Triple J. In addition, some of the band's tracks featured on the TV show The Secret Life Of Us.

	Eskimo (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eskimo is an album by The Residents that was originally supposed to follow 1976's Fingerprince.
		However, due to many delays and arguments with management, it was not released until 1979.
		Rumor has it that The Residents released the hilariously discesque "Diskomo" in order to ridicule their own success with Eskimo, fearing that they became too well known and the Theory of Obscurity was in danger.

	Eskimo Joe - guest program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Even in the musical community first eps and albums are sometimes looked upon with a smiling fondness that borders on embarrassment, as musicians thank their lucky stars that they've finally grown up.
		Permeating the tone of this album is that sense of simplicity that comes as a result of the sincerity in the songwriting.
		Gone is the guitar driven juvenile pop song that typified Eskimo Joe in the early years, in it's place a more textured sound built from the band's basic three piece line up and augmented by keyboards and extra guitar parts.

		This was the first album for Eskimo Joe who started out via Modular Records but left the label by mutual agreement after the first record failed to have a commercial impact.
		The album was released on May 16 this year via a unique Sunday afternoon launch on a ferry in Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay.
		Eskimo Joe braved the choppy seas performing to the gathered media throng aboard the boat.

		Besides that, it has the value of being Eskimo's very personal statement, and some of the tracks are clearly autobiographical, bearing the stamp of a storyteller with a skilful grasp of narrative and metaphor.
		Eskimo's voice is strong, and it is surprising Adrian has not featured his skills before now.
		The man deserves accolades and respect for an album as fine and sincere as this one truly is. There is not a mediocre track on the entire record.

		Eskimo constantly kept me slightly off-balance, which for a well-worn and jaded music reviewer, was a refreshing change of pace.
		Graced by a great cover and internal artwork (kudos to Neil Shrubb and Julie Blackett), the music on this CD is not what you might expect since the album's obvious inspiration is the cold barren landscape of the far north.
		Eskimo mirrors that duality, keeping you always aware of the danger lest you be lulled into a blissful sense of naiveté.

	ESKTEXT
		Instead of an album made up of songs, The Residents produced a series of acoustic landscapes: each track is the sound of a story taking place, rather than the traditional song telling a story.
		The stories are progressively more complex and dig deeper into the fictional Eskimo culture, starting with a simple Walrus Hunt and ending with a confrontation with the spirit world and a Festival of Death celebrating the end of the six-month night.
		As the album progresses you can hear the slow invasion of American culture into the Eskimo lives as the Eskimo's spiritual leader, the Angakok, leads them in chants whose nonsense language becomes corrupted with phrases such as "Coca-Cola Adds Life".

		Eskimo simulates the sound of the tundra with Eskimo tradition mixed in.
		Their theory was that after the fluff is eliminated from a pop song, there is really only a minute of material there.
		The sad thing about the album is when a good song is on it, also, is over in a flash.

		TENSPEEDRACER's debut album Eskimo Beach Boy was released through Reverb in both North American and Ireland and elsewhere as an Import.
		The single features an outtake from the original “Lost Version” of the album ‘Eskimo Beach Boy’ called ‘Johnny Mexicano.’ It also features the live favorite ‘Travellin’ America’ - and while that song and recording is great, by all accounts the band should have never ever lived the song out as they did.

	THOMAS LIGOTTI ONLINE - View topic - Residents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		As I was thinking about The Residents, it did occur to me that of all their stuff I've heard, Eskimo was definitely not so much in the creepy vein, and seemed to originate from a very different place than most of their recordings.
		I seem to remember that either the liner notes for that album, or perhaps an article or review I read about it, mentioned that it was inspired by the rapid decay of native Inuit culture brought on by television, alcoholism, and unemployment.
		Eskimo is a much moodier album, supposedly recorded after spending a year with the alaskan natives, but like everything they do there are subtle jokes hidden throughout the album.

	Quinn The Eskimo by Manfred Mann Songfacts
		The film is also notable as the first screen appearance of Peter O'Toole, who demanded that his name be removed from the film as all of his dialog was dubbed by another actor.
		Anyway theres probably a good chance that it is named after one of those people in the movies or whatever but it is actually just what he decided to refer to his dealer during this song.
		The eskimos have a Christ-like figure they worship named Quinn, and this is about the return of the Mighty Quinn.

	Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage \| Unsung \| Reviews \| The Residents - Eskimo
		The Residents are arch myth-makers, and of all their albums this one seems to have the greatest amount of myths and legendary stories attached to it.
		Eno has said that this album was instrumental in the formulation of the general idea for ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’ in that he wanted to create a psychedelic vision of Africa in a way that, with this album, The Residents had evoked a psychedelic vision of the North Pole.
		The Residents are alleged to have constructed many of their own instruments for this recording which were supposedly tuned to Eskimo tunings (a definite nod to Harry Partch), and one of this album’s strengths is the difficulty of identifying the instruments being used.

		The Commercial Album is another manifestation of The Residents' whimsical relationship with pop music and their interest in music about music.
		Most of the fake Eskimo tongue is made up of highly distorted English and, as the album progresses, you can hear the slow invasion of American culture into the Eskimo lives as the nonsense language of the Eskimos becomes corrupted with phrases such as "Coca-Cola Adds Life" hidden in the chants.
		The album was recorded (for the most part) over two one-week sessions, the first in October, 1974, and the second one year later.

		Operating on several levels, the album is a collection of six eskimo tales told in the Residents inimitable style - a combination of the ridiculous and the sublime.
		Being lucky enough to possess recordings of actual Eskimo tribes from Hudson Bay (folkways recordings), I can report that the Residents did their homework and have produced sounds which are astonishingly ethnographically accurate.
		Eskimo chant rhythyms and forms are blended with other-wordly synthesised sounds to take you onto the ice.

		This album is a breath of fresh air in the polluted world of music today.
		The album starts off fairly lively with ‘delicate,’ but as the songs wear on it becomes clear the tone is more and more like one a grieving widow would enjoy rather than a mainstream market.
		One of the reasons the album is disappointing is because most of the songs appear to be delivered with an arrogance that he really doesn’t have the right to have, especially on this form.

	CLUAS Indie Album Reviews: Damien Rice 'O'
		The young man from Celbridge has been working on the album for almost two years, and its release was greeted with enthusiasm and relief from a growing fan base who must have wondered if they were ever going to hear it.
		It had become something of a joke at live gigs over the past year and a half when Damien Rice would assure the audience that the album was nearly finished.
		Damien wanted to release this album without the backing of a major record company, fearing that if he signed to them before he had proven himself they would begin dictating to him and forcing him in a direction he didn't want to go.
