Album Notes Electric Eels include: John Morton, Brian McMahon.This 1998 CD contains exactly the same recordings as 1991's GOD SAYS F*** YOU and 1989's HAVING A PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATION WITH THE ELECTRIC EELS. Early '70s Cleveland art-school proto-punks the Electric Eels are the missing link between Captain Beefheart and Pere Ubu, whose Jim Jones and Anton Fier were former Eels. Formed in 1972, the Electric Eels never released any albums in the band's three-year lifetime, but their deliberately provocative, invariably strange--singer Dave E occasionally played a lawn mower onstage--and occasionally violent live shows were justifiably legendary. Combining Dave E's strangled screams and lead guitarist John Morton's heavy riffs with the more free-jazz-inspired and noisier work of rhythm guitarist Brian McMahon and keyboardist Jones, the Electric Eels were where Albert Ayler, Alice Cooper and Yoko Ono intersected. Highlights here include the posthumous "Agitated," and the wilder "Cyclotron" and "Bunnies."
Editorial Reviews 7 (out of 10) - ...Recorded in the dismal mid-70s in glorious no-fidelity (and largely without the benefit of a rhythm section), THEIR ORGANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST is two parts deranged garage rock to one part Albert Ayler-esque free-jazz... NME (03/14/1998)
