Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid 1983-1988
The Flaming Lips are a rarity. Here, after all, is an outfit that helped blaze the trail for the alternative revolution, thrived in their late '80s/early '90s heyday when outré were in, and continue to flourish long after most of their off-the-beaten-path peers have faded away. It's doubtful many of their scattered '80s champions would have predicted the Lips would be going strong decades down the road, given their chaotic, uncompromising, and just generally weird aesthetic. This aptly named three-disc collection chronicles the band in their wilderness years. Featuring the Oklahoma group's self-titled debut EP, their first three proudly erratic full-length LPs (including 1987's truly inspired Oh My Gawd!!!), and 16 bonus cuts, it captures a band that owed as much to early Pink Floyd as to the Ramones. Those who have discovered the band through the relatively accessible likes of 1999's The Soft Bulletin and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots will find the primal psychedelia here mind-blowing, in a familiar sort of way. --Steven Stolder
