Album Description

Full Title - The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg. A two-disc set of Flaming Lips recordings from 1989 to 1991, reissues the complete In a Priest Driven Ambulance and adds (in effect) 23 bonus tracks - comprising B-sides (from the singles 'Drug Machine' and 'Unconsciously Screamin') plus a collection of four-track demos often bootlegged as The Mushroom Tapes. Of the extra material, the B-sides are best, especially a pair of covers - one of the Sonics' sullen garage nugget 'Strychnine' and the other of Elvis Costello's '(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.' Restless Records. 2002.

5 out of 5 stars Grows on you like a patch of wildflowers.......2007-01-04

This is an incredible collection of Lips early stuff. The other companion collection, "Finally The Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid", discs 1-3, are the first recordings by the Flaming Lips, and it is very good. If you are a huge fan of the Flaming Lips like I am, both of these are good to have for historical purposes. The Flaming Lips have a rich history of inventive music and if you just start at The Soft Bulletin, arguably where they are roughly at stylistically, and have the three most recent recordings, that one and Yoshimi, and At War With The Mystics, then wouldn't you be a bit curious as to how they arrived at this point?

I was curious, and I live in the area where they grew up in central Oklahoma, and pretty much ignored them up until about a year ago. Now I have all of their CDs except for one of them.

You should be curious if you consider yourself to be an explorer of artistically viable music. The Flaming lips have obvious influences from the classic/acid-rock era including Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and many others. But this collection reveals how they developed their ideas from a Punk Rock Acid Rock perspective, and, depending on your frame of mind, and how receptive you are to noise/Acid/punk and their newer musical ideas, you should find The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg rewarding--I did.

Disc one includes the "Preist Driven Ambulance" album, which was their last pre-Warner Bros. album, and also their last album without Steven Drozd on the drums. It is looser, and much more guitar driven than their recent recordings, although all the recordings prior to Soft Bulletin are more guitar/noise driven. There are plenty of mind-blowing ideas and many beautiful songs. The bass is more prominent in the mix. The rawness is there but the punk-influenced Acid sound is there and it plays very well. Some of the stand-out songs from disc one are played again as out-takes, different versions and they are on Disc Two, the Mushroom Tapes. This disc took me a few plays to enjoy but I now listen to it more than the others. There are some songs that are beautiful, such as the Stones-influenced Five Stop Mother Superior Rain, with its slide guitar work, harking back to Stones Wild Horses, or Pink Floyd.

Anyway, I won't go into the details. Listen and experience this collection on your own. With an open mind, you'll be richly rewarded.

4 out of 5 stars Give it a second spin.......2006-01-28

Im not going to lie, when i bought this album (blind) I hated it. I felt like I had to like it cause I like the band, but i really didnt like it. But after giving it another try recently, I found that it was about ten times better than I originally thought. After my third time through it, I actually greatly enjoyed it. It can be hard at times, because of their drug induced lyrics and music, but still a credit to Wayne Coynes upbeat and silly styl. So dont be fooled by the 30 second clips, cause this album has more than meets the initail eye.

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2005-07-15

The first time I listened to this album, it sounded like a bunch of lo fi noise. But once I sat down with a nice pair of head phones and just listened, I was able to appreciate what a mature, gorgeous album this is.

Yes, there is a lot of guitar noise. But the noise is not an end in itself. It is a tool that the Flaming Lips deploy with surgical precision. In this album's best moments, feedback effects laden guitar riffs alternate with periods of unsettling quiet to create a heightened sense of dramatic tension. This tension, which is sustained for most of the album, turns what would otherwise be a bunch of very catchy country and blues inspired melodies into an edgy psychedelic masterpiece.

It may take a few listens to really appreciate what the Lips are doing here; but, in my opinion, the reward is well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars The Flaming Lips get...good? Whoa........2005-01-27

Although it's loaded with demos and outtakes, the main reason you want to own "..Jesus Egg" is for "In a Priest Driven Ambulance". I think the actual album is out of print, so you might as well get it here with the nice packaging and what not.

"Ambulance" is The Flaming Lips' fourth album (released in 1990), and it's a major improvement. The haze of psychedelia, punk, and white noise that made up their previous three albums is still in tact..but now they've injected the music with a heavy dose of pop. In other words, these songs actually have distinguishable melodies and hooks!

"Shine on Sweet Jesus" combines caterwauling guitar feedback and Wayne Coyne's shrill vocals with an irrestiable singalong hook. It's like white noise meets bubblegum pop.

"Unconsciously Screamin" is a glorious psychedelic mess, as are the noisy assaults "God Walks Among Us Now" and "Mountain Side".

There's actually a lot of quieter moments on the album too. "Rainin' Babies" is a really gorgeous ballad; it's like a lo-fi precursor to "The Soft Bulletin". The majestic "Five Stop Mother Superior Rain" is similar fare that also works well.

Other highlights include the thumping bass weirdness of "Take Meta Mars", the trippy "Stand In Line", the unsettling, parking-lot folk of "There You Are" and their cover of "What a Wonderful World" (which surprisingly stays pretty true to the original).

The outtakes are hit or miss. There's some decent stuff on there. And the demos are interesting, but not something you'll probably listen to over and over again. But "In a Priest Driven Ambulance" is a true gem; not only their best early work, but one of their best altogether. And that's why "..Jesus Egg" is an essential purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Hot to Trot for them Flaming Lips.......2004-05-21

To abstain from any superfluous felicitations that would hinder the evident brilliance of this album and to put lucidly my feelings on this particular effort, I shall simply state that In a Priest Driven Ambulance is one of the greatest sonic excursions I have been privy to hear in some time. Given that I was an ardent Lips fan prior to listening, my adoration was perpetuated to the nigh crux of hysteria when attaining a copy of my own. I suppose one could make the rather impotent attempt at actually delineating all the myriad components that make this album an astonishingly addictive substance, but such puerile plying would be immediately reduced to an ashen cinder because this album (as with nearly every other Lips album) evades all proper articulation. The vertiginous furrows of relentless feedback and white noise (that seem to ebb and swoon upon the nubile shoals of your ears), the imperious obfuscation of the Dadaist lyrics (slurred and howled in the most strained and salient pronunciations), the volutary movement of the music (i.e. the way the whole composition seems to impel the listener's volitation - incensing a feeling of flight), and all the innumerable idiosyncrasies make this one of the most impressive records of the 90s (compare this to that apathetic dive bomb dirge of bloated noise and unctuous production known as Nevermind to get my point). An aberrant to the pervasive ennui inspired by their contemporaries, In a Priest Driven Ambulance not only deviated from the prevailing miasma of alternative music by the promulgation of an album that prominently featured antipodean doses of noise terror and acoustic subtlety (the two often managing to coincide like in the wonderful "Five Stop Mother Superior Rain") but also marked an unprecedented turn in the Lips' own catalogue. Their preceding work had been infamous for its layers of feedback and white noise, and even though they still incorporated those elements into the "Priest" album, they had been reluctant to produce anything that dared veer from their course. Though their aptitude for bizarre melody had been brusquely exerted on tracks from Ow My Gawd the Flaming Lips and some parts of the cacophonous feedback symphony of Telepathic Surgery, it is here that the band began to intersperse their sense of musical competency. Restraining from the stentorian deluge of noise that made itself present on Telepathic Surgery, the Flaming Lips opted to create an album that deftly compounded all of those aspects and more - thus making this their first masterpiece (an echelon of which they now can amend with Transmissions From the Satellite Heart, The Clouds Taste Metallic, and the orchestral genius of the Soft Bulletin). But commending the album with such adulation is irreparably futile. I cannot put into words (nor would I try) the overwhelming sense of appeasement that fills every pore of my being when I hear the Lips' sardonic cover of "What a Wonderful World" or the obtuse hilarity (I sense I'm missing the joke) of "Shine on Sweet Jesus." Given the fact that they supported bands like the Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth (neither of whom have come close to approaching this summit of plangent perfection), it is somewhat surprising to note the psychedelic pop they have chosen to adopt (though that in no way denigrates their eminence). But the result from their predilection of musical evolution is a strong track record that has currently failed to disappoint me (unlike the aforementioned Buttholes). Someone recently inquired as to the sound of the Flaming Lips, to what bands were they consanguineous. I had no answer, try as I did, all of my syllables dissipated and dissolved into indecipherable prate. To adequately describe this music for someone who has never heard it is a formidable challenge. All I can say is that I love the Flaming Lips, and even though some may be disconcerted by their bumptious conviviality, I can only retort that you have to give reverence to a band that can form a lyric like "I was born the day they shot a hole in the Jesus egg/ I was born the day they shot John Lennon's brain/ The way you look at me sucks me down the sidewalk."

If you're a fan of blues based rock and roll, do yourself a favor and pick up this CD set. It's basically two CDs in one. One disc is all good ole fashion, in your face Rock-n-Roll and the other disc is acoustic demos of unreleased tunes from Joe's attic. In my opinion some of the tunes on this record are better than the ones that were previously released. One of my favorites is "Cigarettes and Gin". Great tune! It's also really cool to hear how these songs came to be. Some are similar to the offical releases but some are drastically different. Don't let the fact that you may have never heard of Joe Grushecky stop you from picking this up. It's well worth the money!

OK, If you've even gotten this far, you probably know who Tobin Sprout is but--For the last 10 plus years Tobin Sprout has been making incredible pop music. He first got recognition as a member of Guided By Voices, co-writing songs and singing a decent share himself. Alas, GBV had a fickle lead singer who fired his entire band at their creative peak and hired a bunch of studio studs (Does this make Bob Pollard the Steinbrenner of the indie world?). Ever since that day Guided By Voices has made a slow descent into the world of indie-mediocrity. On the other hand, Tobin Sprout hasn't made money and he hasn't made a name for himself, but he has been making great records. This one is no exception.

If you're a diehard Tobin fan, you already have this. Quite a few of the songs here can be found on other records, but every version included on Demos is unique to the point of completely warranting getting this. What more can I say? This is 70 minutes of pure lo-fi indie pop bliss, and we should all be thankful that Tobin Sprout continues to make obscure records for our unworthy souls!!

      After being the only rock band signed by Bad Boy Records, run by one Puff Daddy Combs (really!), Fuzzbubble had the classic major label experience of being jerked around incessantly, and ultimately being dropped before an album was released. The major label playing fields loss is Not Lame's gain as this 16 song collection of songs recorded during their time of working on their major label debut are now going to see official light. 'A precocious showcase of power-pop authority will more than satisfy fans of heads-down, toe-tapping, free-wheeling guitar pop-rock.

      "Outakes"? Not really. There's a dozen hit singles on this album.

      Maybe it's Fuzzbubble's destiny to be appreciated in this way - the discovery of great music just when everyone thought it was buried forever.

      These guys re-wrote the book on power pop, because they fully understand both elements: power AND pop.

      I haven't seen them in a while. Maybe we'll all be seeing more of them someday.
