Product Description
From Amazon.com
As these dimpled moptops from Oklahoma grow pepper-bearded and transform into wizened elder statesmen of sonic adventuring, the heartfelt candy of their loving bubblegum stretches ever longer into echoing soundscapes. If Radiohead are halfway to becoming U2, the Flaming Lips are nine-tenths of the way to pop nirvana. Hardly a song on Yoshimi isn't resonated, echoed, and reverberated--floating the listener higher until they have the ultimate bird's eye view of what makes a great band tick. As with any album by the band, it's hard not to imagine parades and a sky filled with helium balloons while you listen to any of it--in this case, the party is enhanced brilliantly by digital filters and silver shimmering asides. The most immediate songs, like "One More Robot (3000-21)," are digital (almost trip-hop) dance numbers that lift the band out of the cornfields and into the loopy land of Björk. Little surprise, then, that the band are already following up this majestic splash of gummy bear brilliance by recording a CD with TV kids-show host Steve from Blue's Clues. It's like Woodstock meets Snoopy! --Ian Christe
Chronique amazon.fr
Et si cet album constituait la version du 3e millénaire de cet acid-rock apparu à la fin des années 60 sur la côte Ouest des États-Unis ? Un acid-rock mâtiné de cosmic-rock aussi, à la façon des groupes comme Hawkwind, mais dans une version personnelle correspondant délibérément à une synthèse rêvée de ces styles, avec l'électronica et le trip-hop ("Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell"). Hypnotiques, comme entraînées par un kaléidoscope de textures et de sons, les chansons jouent le rôle d'appât ("In The Morning Of The Maziciano"). Les Flaming Lips élaborent une musique d'un futur permanent, traversée par une sensibilité vive et la voix douce, pénétrante, de Wayne Coyne, le leader. Depuis 1987, ce groupe de l'Oklahoma explore la galaxie, avec humour et une fascination communicative ("Yoshimi Battle The Pink Robots.Pt.1" et "Pt.2" sont des pièces d'anthologie). Une sorte de redoutable "chirurgie télépathique" – comme le proclamait un de leurs anciens albums – dont il est plaisant d'être le patient. --José Ruiz

Ce commentaire est de: Yoshimi Vs. the Pink Robots (Audio CD)
I had never of The Flaming Lips before yesterday. A used CD store was playing "Yoshimi" and I found myself really enjoying the songs. So I asked the people at the register who it was and they handed me the CD, which I bought without hesitation.I've played it over and over since then and I like the music even more than the first time. "Flight Test" is contagious. It grooves, yet retains a beatiful melody and poignant lyrics. The title track is also one of my favorites--another infectious (and hilarious) groove. The album has it's soft side, as well. "In the Morning of the Magicians," "Ego Tripping, "One More Robot," and "All We Have Is Now" are quite hypnotic and smack a bit of Pink Floyd. The more upbeat songs reminded me the the later Beatles material, which is a pretty solid endorsement. I don't think "Do You Realize??" is close to the best track, even though it's featured on the little sticker affixed to the CD cover. It's okay, but the others are better. Overall, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" is a fresh, strong album--easy to listen to and even easier to recommend!

A smart, thought-provoking, and most importantly beautiful record.,
Ce commentaire est de: Yoshimi Vs. the Pink Robots (Audio CD)
With its delusions of grandeur, its original computer-generated atmospherics and its haunting lyrics, 'Yoshimi'' strikes with songs that treat of mortality, love, pacifism and melancholy in a strange yet beautiful way. I would say this is a must for every Lips fan, and the best album to introduce someone to them. Their best along with the Soft Bulletin!!
