Who were the Blitzoids? The few available resources on the band make one thing perfectly clear: they sound a lot like seminal no-wave band the Residents. It's true: the early work of the Residents—before they started wearing giant eyeball masks, employing narrative structures, and presenting themselves as "pioneering" technophiles—looms large over the Blitzoids' two LPs, reissued as a two-CD set by Ad Hoc Records.
However, if one listens to the Blitzoids under the myopic pretense that they were little more than a Residents knockoff, there will be an unavoidable temptation to turn them off and listen to the genuine article instead. Taken on their own merits, the Blitzoids were more advanced musically than the Residents, if less revolutionary, and their collected works have a cumulative effect that can be thrilling—provided you have an open mind.
If comparisons must be made, then imagine putting the Los Angeles Free Music Society, Fred Lane, Fred Frith, various field recordings, radio transmissions, and a haunted house sound-effects tape into a blender. After the blender shakes violently and explodes, spraying globules of audio lunacy across the room, you giggle and dance around like a moron. That's what listening to the Blitzoids is like. - Brad Gladen, All About Jazz
