A Collection of Songs Representing an Enthusiasm for Recording...
Sunday 30 August 2009
... by Amateurs - The Flaming Lips 1984-1990
I do believe that this is the first time I've listened to this, but it was enjoyable.
Some of the tracks are covers but I don't know the originals well enough to know how faithful or experimental they are. Other tracks feel nice and familiar but not obviously stuff I've heard before.
Stuff that falls into the latter camp is usually a good mental 'fit' -- music that aligns with some internalised Platonic ideal I have for music.
Some of the songs are too experimental for my taste and the fact that these lurk towards the end of the CD lead me to believe that this would have been better on vinyl.
