"RZ VF" is a digital single by The Residents, released under the pseudonym RZ. It is an instrumental versions of their 2001 Vileness Fats soundtrack, created for the Icky Flix DVD.

Background[]

In 2000, The Residents began working on their Icky Flix DVD. The DVD would feature several classic Residents videos, with both their original scores and a re-recorded one. For the DVD, The Residents created an abridged edit of their 1984 Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats VHS, which was in itself a highlight reel of footage from their incomplete 1976 film Vileness Fats.

The re-recorded score featured a chorus narrating certain events, with key phrases of the original dialogue being overdubbed by The Residents. RZ VF, released through their digital Robot Selling Device website 10 years later, features a remastered instrumental version of this score as a single 17 minute track, removing the chorus and overdubbed dialogue. It has not been re-released since Robot Selling Device shut down in 2013.
