RM: "I was interested in doing something visually that further expressed the ideas behind the music. I considered projecting slides of experimental art on a screen behind us. "Then a friend suggested, after catching our show: 'The music is so cinematic, why don't you take outtakes of 50's sitcoms and score them.' I put it under my hat. Later that night I saw a Lily Tomlin skit on 'Saturday Night Live'. She was reading the 'Dow Jones' averages of various art trends. She reported, 'Pop Art up 10...OP Art up 20... Expressionism DOWN 30.' I turned the channel. And there was 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' and the distorted sets and dreamlike atmosphere in the film were the qualities what I always envisioned accompaning our music. The subversive plot was drenched in the unconscious. I was obsessed to write for that film."
