Product Description

Product Description

Experimental, even by The Flaming Lips standards, the band's third album is a glorious and mind expanding mix of heavily effected guitar solos, backwards recordings and surrealistic imagery. Again, the classic song titles keep coming with 'Chrome Plated Suicide', 'Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon (Fuck Led Zeppelin)', and 'Drug Machine in Heaven'. Telepathic Surgery became a big influence on many bands such as Mercury Rev and Beck to Grandaddy and The Olivia Tremor Control. Deluxe 2 LP re-issue on blue vinyl. Includes bonus track 'Hell's Angels Cracker Factory' (23 minute long version) on Side 3, with etched image on Side 4. Plain Recordings. 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars That's heavy, dude! April 24 2002
By Scuzzbopper
Format:Audio CD
The Lips continued their spaced-out journey with their 3rd album, Telepathic Surgery, in 1989. Next to Oh My Gawd!, this is definately one of the weirdest Lips albums. The cover is also priceless: a man standing in front of a barren field, holding a hubcap to his face.
The stand-out tracks include:
1. the brief but strange "Spontaneous Combustion Of John" and "Shaved Gorilla"

2. the hilarious "UFO Story" where Wayne tells the band about his encounters with UFOs as a kid, complete with a beautiful piano ballad stuck right in the middle.

3. "Chrome-Plated Suicide", which deserved to be a chart-topper

4. The 25-minute plus epic "Hell's Angel's Cracker Factory", which contains endless guitar and drum solos, backwards vocal samples, an opera singer, motorcycles revving, an answering machine, tape loops, and more. Worth the price of the CD alone. It also never appeared on the vinyl or cassette version, and never even was released as a single!

If you're looking to dive into the world of the Lips, here's a good place to start. Buy it, as Wayne would sing, "Right noooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets if you like the Lips Aug 9 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Telepathic Surgery is my favorite Lips album, edging out Transmissions... and clearly better than Clouds... Most Lips fans recommend Hit To Death... and In a Priest-Driven Ambulance - I have to get both, because if they are better than Surgery, I'm missing something. Surgery is intense and driving - Hell's Angels Cracker Factory is a 23-minute bonus track thats better than most entire CD's by lesser bands. Chrome-Plated Suicide, Fryin' Up and Redneck School of Technology kick ass! The cover art and the names of the songs only add to the enjoyability - I know the Lips have changed and matured - try them when they rocked!
