Yoshimi Rehash...Is Awesome

You may remember my favorable review of The Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” a few months ago? Well, it’s back with a vengeance. If you didn’t catch the now-blaze stereo version last time, grab it at Apple’s iTunes if you wanna be a luddite. The recently released 5.1 surround sound DVD version of this album is mind-blowing good. It’s been a long time since I put on an album and sat in the living room just listening — being stoned doesn’t count. The gimmick of surround sound music may wear off like Stereo sound did, but I bet this DVD Audio is filed in history right next to Are You Experienced for it’s innovative use of audio technology.

If you have at least 5 speakers in your home theater sound system and a DVD player, I can’t harrass you enough to buy this album.
