This is mostly material from the early 80's of what was called 'The Subgenius Show' or 'More Than an Hour Less Than a Show' which features incredible collages mixed with extemporaneous trance spout-riffing, psychedelic bulldada and surreal improvised comedy. This set brings you rare audio of the 'Doktors of the Air' at the time, (Moebius Rex, Puzzling Evidence, and Gary G'Broagfran, LIES, the Sludge(tm) Girls, and of course Dr. Hal) who (try to) explain X-Day, "Bob", Slack(tm), the Subgenius Church, and their very strange radio show ('The Show) which eventually became (some 20 years later) 'The Puzzling Evidence Show' (which is still on KPFA in Berkeley, CA).

Included are rare music clips from 'The Band That Dare Not Speak Its Name'.

Most of these mixes are edited clips from 'The Show' which was broadcast live at 4:30 on Saturday Mornings for the longest time, and offered some of the most frenetic, breakneck, and weeeeird live mix barrage mix radio before, then, or since in the same vein as Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Firesign Theater, but with certainly it's own realm, sound and sensibility.

Think Morning Zoo on acid.

This is a companion piece to 'The Best of the 90's' 5 part series. For more information on The Subgenius Church please feel free to visit www.subgenius.com.

These 'Best of' programs were post-mixed and edited together by Phineas Narco of the National Cynical Network. Some portions were pre-edited by Puzzling Evidence.

See the attendant credits for a list of the original members and performers for 'The Show', a great comic effort which had a tremendous influence on The National Cynical Network (NCN) much later on.

Don't worry, it's just a show.
