An abundance of clever commentary, witty wordplay, and cerebral satire floods their albums, which have brought comedy recording to a new level. This limited edition release, BACK FROM THE SHADOWS, features both a video and an audio chapter. An hour-long documentary of the bitingly clever quintet talking about their history and career. With their comic talent, however, this personal story turns into an improvised performance piece--a dazzling combination of references, wordplay, and witticisms. The audio chapter was recorded in 1993 at a 25th anniversary performance and includes much of their most famous material. [More]
