Weirdo music you just don't hear these days...
Hailing from Chicago, The Blitzoids were a studio only project of the De Chiara brothers with the occasional guest appearance by Jim Nickels. Drawing heavily from The Residents, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa , and Philip Glass as well as taking an almost Salvador Dali/M.C. Escher approach to music, they somehow have managed to fuse in the sounds of nature, organized chaos, ambient, Rock In Opposition, free jazz, abstract and surreal art as well as industrial and noise. This particular album, “Stealing From Helpless Children”, is the best representation of their eclecticity as well as their over the top experimental nature. This album is a must have for anyone who likes to hear what’s going on out on the fringe element of the music scene…and even being released in the 80’s, this album still is ahead of its’ time today. Testing the waters of music itself, The Blitzoids and the few other bands out there like them are the new pioneers of what will be mankind's audio future.
According to the Blitzoids website these records are to be released in the Summer of 2006 as a double cd(still waiting). Former members currently have a project called Kinkzoid, which is described as "The Blitzoids meet The Butthole Surfers".
And I thought I had heard it all.....

Gotta love the rarities, we're part of a very select few that actually have a digital copy of this very obscure disc.... nicely done bro.
Raritity no more! The double (nearly triple!) CD is out! Oh, and by the way if you don't buy the Kinkzoid CD they will send Warren Jeffs to your workplace to give you a wet Willy. Better get busy.
