Album notes
The Flaming Lips: Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar); Michael Ivins (guitar, bass, background vocals); Steve Drozd (guitar, drums, background vocals).Producers: The Flaming Lips, Dave Fridmann, Scott Booker.Recorded at Tarbox Road Studios, Cassadaga, New York between June 2000 & April 2001."Approaching Pavonis Mons By Balloon (Utopia Planitia)" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.Emerging sometime in the '80s, Oklahoma boys The Flaming Lips have held steady to a peripheral, but significant location in the indie-rock world, visionaries blessed with a hyper-keen pop sensibility. In 1999, four years removed from the surprise alterna-pop hit "She Don't Use Jelly," the trio fronted by the fetching, impelling whisper of Wayne Coyne hit a remarkably high note, making scores of year-end 'best of' lists with THE SOFT BULLETIN, a mellifluous, masterful slice of Brian Wilson-level pop distorted through a few looking glasses. Following an acclaimed album is always a craggy cliff of anticipation, but if BULLETIN was the Flaming Lips' PET SOUNDS, then the ethereal YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS may be their SMILEY SMILE, a record which skillfully straddles the line between pop and experimentation.YOSHIMI offers lush, enveloping arrangements, forging a soundscape both comfortably predictable and satisfyingly, even dizzyingly, diverse, awash in Todd Rundgren-like grandiosity, yet startlingly simple in structure like the better work of Paul McCartney. Despite having the air of a quasi-concept album, YOSHIMI betrays little pretension, even in the face of the Lips' trademark deceptively complex lyrics. The exceptional YOSHIMI easily cements the Flaming Lips' place in the vanguard of the rock world.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept any responsibility for loss or damaged goods. Special Delivery is the only guarantee against damage or loss. If you do not wish to use either Recorded or Special Delivery services (UK only) I will NOT offer refunds or replacements for missing/damaged goods. There is an overseas 'signed for' service at an extra cost of £3.50 GBP, on top of the base postage rate. I always obtain a proof of postage but this does not guarantee any lost item will be found. All payment in GBP and overseas buyers must pay via Paypal. It is up to the winning bidder to decide whether they want insured postage.

Please read my postage price list carefully before bidding. Thank you.

Before you bid please be aware that I try to recycle packing materials such as jiffy bags as I don't believe in needless waste. That said, everything I pack is of the highest standard. With records I make my own packaging which is FAR superior to the flimsy ones you buy commercially. If you do not agree with my ethics do not bid!
