It features eleven cuts in the Residents' avant garde style. It's a visual theme album the Residents call an "interactive musical study of nine characters." I don't plus know about all that, but I do know the music stayed in my head long after the CD was put away. And it didn't stay like some lyrical life-affirming pop tune, but more like the Alka Seltzer ad droning at you just before you turn off plus the TV plus and go to bed, one of those things that doesn't easily slide away but instead kind of picks at you as the night passes. Navigation in The Gingerbread Man is done via something called an "Enter Eye." Apparently the Residents refuse to explain this to the user, but instead demand that she be smart enough to just figure it out. The artwork for this was also done by Jim Ludtke. This is not to say The Gingerbread Man is not interactiveit certainly is.
