The Flaming Lips specialize in exploring the unknown: in trying anything and everything and doing so in the most unusual, unexpected ways. The music here has been culled from a number of hard-to-find releases, and this album was originally issued on vinyl. With titles like "Is David Bowie Dying", "I'm Working at NASA on Acid", "Supermoon Made Me Want to Pee", and "Girl, You're So Weird", it's readily apparent that this shows the Lips at their most extreme. Collaborations with a wide range of guests—from Ke$ha and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band to Bon Iver—further ensure that Wayne Coyne's eclectic spirit roams freely. "Supermoon", featuring Prefuse 73, is a head rush, a barreling-down-the-galaxy whoosh that mellows into a sweet orchestral field that would complement David Lynch's Lost Highway as well as Trent Reznor's score. Nick Cave adds his preacher-of-doom vocal style to "You, Man? Human???", while Erykah Badu tackles the much-covered Ewan MacColl classic "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" with the band turning it into 10 minutes of hypnotic space travel.
