Title: The Soft Bulletin
Artiste: The Flaming Lips
Genre: Psychedelic Pop
Familiarity: Zero

Track 1(Love) What the Hell is this? I didn't expect this. This is ****ing gorgeous! Love the seventies-style motown-ish keyboards and the backing vocals.
Track 2(Love) This is great too. Very orchestral then it goes into a big buzzy synthy thing.
Track 3(Love) Very gentle, really liked that
Track 4(Love) The percussion is weird in this, but I do like it
Track 5(Love) Funny song, good fun; kind of in the mould of The Divine Comedy's “The pop singer's fear of the pollen count”.
Track 6(Love) Bassy piano is great on this, as is the percussion
Track 7(Love) The ambience on this is just lovely. Is it an instrumental? Yep.
Track 8(Love) That was just great too. Kind of reminded me a little of The Beautiful South
Track 9(Love) Kind of hear bits of Beatles here, very nice track
Track 10(Love) Wonderfully powerful opening, like something by Jim Steinman or someone, also reminded of Devin. Great track.
Track 11(Love) The way this track moves along really gets to me. Another great one. It's incredibly repetitive, but somehow that doesn't matter.
Track 12(Love) And a beautiful instrumental to end the album. Perfect.


End result: Not at all what I expected. Again, I thought some sort of indie fast rock or pop or something. This was just excellent all through. Not a bad thing to say about it. Nothing.

So, Love or Hate? I'm tempted to give this a True Love, but I'm gonna stick with Love

Chances of a full review: 7/10

You hadn't heard them before this? That's crazy.

I'm glad you liked it though.

I told you: I used to exist in a self-contained musical bubble, and even after coming here it was months before I poked my head outside my journal cave to join you all. Even after THAT, it's taken a lot for me to put my own musical prejudices aside and try new stuff. TFL are a band I had heard of, but didn't like the name and had no reason to try them out. I've missed a lot of good music.


You could probably name fifty bands and I would not have heard, nor perhaps even heard of at least forty of them.

When your recs are back open in this thread I'm gonna give you some more Lips recs because almost everything they've done is great to worth hearing.

I'm glad you liked them, though I figured you might, personally I think they are just out of sight.

Can someone please just confirm that the Moondog album is a 1959 one by a blind composer? There seems a little confusion about it. I mean, I've no problem listening to classical minimalist music, but I'd just like to be sure I'm selecting the correct album.

That would be great, but I should really be making sure I keep recs to one band or artiste per person. I'm after all trying to explore a lot of different stuff here, and if I get into one artiste, great, but then listening to another of their albums, in the context of this thread, is a little redundant to me.

I'll probably make that a slightly flexible rule: only new artistes that I have not yet heard, either in this thread or ever. And only once.
