FLAMING LIPS, THE - AT WAR WITH THE MYSTICS (20TH ANNIV. DELUXE EDITION)

Wydany w 2006 roku At War With The Mystics to jeden z najbardziej twórczych i nieprzewidywalnych albumów w dorobku The Flaming Lips. Po sukcesie Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots amerykańska formacja ponownie udowodniła, że nie zamierza podążać utartymi ścieżkami, łącząc psychodeliczny rock, alternatywny pop, elektronikę i orkiestrowe aranżacje w niezwykle barwną muzyczną całość. Pod surrealistyczną warstwą dźwiękową kryją się refleksje na temat polityki, miłości, strachu, przemijania i ludzkiej kondycji. To album jednocześnie przebojowy, eksperymentalny, pełen humoru i niepokojących obserwacji.

Zestaw 6LP zawiera zremasterowany po raz pierwszy w historii oryginalny album rozłożony na trzech stronach płyt winylowych, 19 niepublikowanych wcześniej wersji demo, 12 niepublikowanych nagrań studyjnych oraz 33 dodatkowe utwory spoza albumu.

To imponujące archiwum dokumentujące niezwykle płodny i eksperymentalny okres w historii The Flaming Lips, a zarazem doskonała okazja, by odkryć na nowo jeden z najbardziej oryginalnych albumów alternatywnego rocka pierwszej dekady XXI wieku.
