The album was given the non sequitur title Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him, from Bergman's undeveloped 1965 idea for a comic film. The Firesigns changed their improvisational style, producing tightly scripted and memorized material. According to Bergman: "There was no leader. The resulting synergy created the feeling of a fifth Firesign; according to Austin: "It's like, suddenly there is this fifth guy that actually does the writing.

I was a huge Firesign Theater fan in the 70s when most of their albums were published. It was great to recapture the craziness of this group with this and the other ones I bought at the same time (How can You Be in Two Places at Once when You're Not Anywhere at All; Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers; and We're all Bozos on this Bus). This was one of their vintage albums. If you've never heard the Firesign Theater before, I think this is a very good one to begin with. This has to be the funniest album in America. Made in 1968 and delightfully relevant today. So happy I found a new one.
