Psychotic Supper is the third studio album from the rock band Tesla. The album was a tribute to the band's namesake Nikolai Tesla, an American inventor. The album was originally called "Man Out Of Time", but was later changed to "Psychotic Supper". The relevance of "Psychotic Supper" was a reference to Nikola's psychosis in later life, where he was obsessive about cleanliness and avoidance of food poisoning. The song "Edison's Medicine" is a documentary on the battle between Edison, who championed DC transmission and Tesla, who was in favor of AC power transmission. AC is by far the most popular today due to the ability to reduce I²R losses through voltage transformation. Nonetheless, Edison was convinced that DC was best.
