Description

2LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve (2025 Reissue).

Do you know your fondues from your fon-donts? Fear not spuds, DEVO and FUTURISMO bring you the perfect soundtrack to your space-age bachelor or bachelorette pad with 21 tracks of pure unhinged sophistication – DEVOs EZ Listening Muzak.

Whether youre entertaining guests with a bout of cheese and wine by the fire or throwing the cocktail party of the century, these mutated muzak lounge versions of DEVO classics such as Whip It, Jocko Homo and Its A Beautiful World will be the perfect hors doeuvres for an evening of de-evolved fun.

Originally created as pre-concert mood setters, popularity and sound board thievery led to EZ Listening Muzak being sold back in the early 80s as two fan club only cassettes. For the first time since, these revered recordings are officially released as Double Vinyl. But waitalso included alongside these cherished instrumentals of yesteryear is a Brand New EZ version of Human Rocket – recorded exclusively for this release! Bringing the timeline full circle.

Its been more than 20 years and a cultural sea change since the Devo EZ Listening body of work has been commercially available. Now with this exquisite, 2-disc set from Futurismo you can once again experience the devolved fun we had creating these ridiculously enjoyable renditions of our work. – Gerald V. Casale [DEVO]
