1986
  1-29-86:
Four Star Theater, LA. "Population:1"
premeires.
Previews: "Over
the next couple of years, half the hipsters in LA passed through the
studio's green doers to lay down tracks on the 24-track tape machine,
or to add atmosphere to ongoing filmings."
Hubert Mensch, LA Weekly(?), January 1986. Read
entire preview.
Reviews: "Superficially
the story of the last living survivor (Tomata du Plenty) of the great
nuclear whatever, who's trapped in an underground bunker, it's actually
a multilayered history of art, video, music and America's long lasting
love affair with destruction. It's frenetic and ambitious as hell, full
of erotic dream sequences, Magritte abstractions galore, multiple visual
overlays and surreal musical numbers that are an eclectic combination
of classical, old-fashioned jazz, modern punk and standard rock & roll."
Michael Dare, LA Weekly, January 24-30, 1986. Read
