Animal Lover Instrumental

Animal Lover Instrumental is a 2004 demo album by The Residents, featuring instrumental versions of tracks from their 2005 album Animal Lover and the associated recording sessions. 
It was released in a limited and numbered edition as part of the el Ralpho Archive series of releases on Ralph America in 2008.
== Background ==
The album was being written as early as 2001, but after the Twin Tower Attacks, The Residents decided to focus on a more lighthearted but relevant album, Demons Dance Alone. Later on, in 2003, The Residents would revisit the material and crafted it into Animal Lover, released in 2005. But before that, they created this.
In late 2007 The Residents' management company, The Cryptic Corporation, searched through The Residents' archives, hoping to find material for the next installment in the 'eL Ralpho Archives' series. The last installment had been Night of the Hunters, which evolved from a personal project of The Residents' into their' 31st studio album.
The organization discovered a fully formed but vocal-less version of their much-celebrated 28th studio album, Animal Lover. Although it was already thoroughly mixed and more suitable for release, the Cryptic Corporation got to work remastering the four-year-old material. In fact, the first El Ralpho release, Best Left Unspoken Volume One, foreshadowed the release by featuring two tracks.
