Muzik for Insomniaks, Volume 1 and Volume 2

Muzik for Insomniaks, Volume 1 and Volume 2 is a two-studio album series by Devo's co-founder and lead vocalist Mark Mothersbaugh. They were both originally released in 1988, the same year as Devo's seventh studio album Total Devo, on the labels Enigma and Rykodisc. The albums consisted entirely of instrumentals that were performed in the style of easy listening muzak or new-age music similar to Devo's compilation album E-Z Listening Disc (1987), released the previous year. Both of the albums were produced, written, arranged, programmed and performed by Mothersbaugh himself mostly using the Fairlight CMI and was engineered and mixed by former Devo keyboardist and guitarist Bob Casale. Mothersbaugh once described the albums as "M. C. Escher meets wallpaper."
