![]() "The Soft Bulletin" continues this devolution into their more experimental and chaotic past. "Yoshimi" was a masterstroke in surround, while still retaining all the experimental elements inherent in The Lips' work. It is interesting to listen to the Lips as they unwind their catalog into surround-sound in reverse order. ![]() Audiophiles and "recreation of the acoustical event" fanatics stay away. I absolutely adore the discomforting alien familiarity that is the organized chaos of the surround mix. There is just enough "mixing" to lend personality to the individual songs, but this is just about as naked a surround mix as you're apt to find anywhere. All the musical elements are laid raw, bare and left hanging out there naked with nowhere to hide. I was just familiar enough with the stereo mix of "The Soft Bulletin" to find myself completely disoriented in the jarring multi-monophonic environment of the surround mix. The end result is something both very familiar and totally alien compared to the original. The surround mix is a complete deconstruction and reconstruction of this title. Just gave this one a spin and I just have to say WOW! "The Soft Bulletin" has to mark the greatest difference between a stereo mix and a surround mix for any single title I have ever heard. "Waitin' for a Superman" (remix, featuring Scott Bennett on bass) (4:19) "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" (5:17)ġ4. "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" (3:54)ġ1. The CD disc in this package however, is simply a reissue of the 1999 US CD, and thus has the original US CD tracklist instead of the one shown on the back. For this package, the DVD-Audio disc's tracklist (shown on the back) is the UK CD tracklist without the three mixes at the end and with "The Spiderbite Song" and "Buggin'" added in their place. When this album first came out in 1999, the US and UK CD releases had different track lists. ![]() One note about the track order for the album. This album is the 90s "Pet Sounds" and the 5.1 mix does nothing but make it 100 times better. An easy 10.Ī great job by the Flaming Lips. ![]() Hands down one of the best DVD-As I've ever heard. The fidelity is out of this world, the mix is discrete as hell, and you're just able to hear stuff that you couldn't hear on the CD. ![]()
