In ambito musicale esistono artisti assai prolifici. Tale dote contraddistingue da sempre il gruppo americano, artefice di una lunga carriera, corredata da una corposa discografia.
In tanti, tuttavia, conoscono meglio le produzioni dei Flaming Lips dagli anni 90’in poi, epoca in cui i nostri firmarono per una major e cominciarono a farsi conoscere pure a livello internazionale, piuttosto che il materiale uscito nel periodo precedente.
Chi volesse colmare questa lacuna, potrà portarsi a casa, grazie alla Rhino Records, ben due antologie, una singola Scratching The Door: The First Recordings Of The Flaming Lips, in uscita il 20 Aprile, ed un box-set, Seeing The Unseeable: The Complete Studio Recordings Of The Flaming Lips 1986-1990, che sarà pubblicato il 25 Maggio.
In entrambe saranno presenti parecchie rarità (compresa The Flaming Lips Theme Song 1983, pezzo che potete ascoltare più in basso) mentre nel cofanetto troveranno spazio anche tutti gli album incisi fra il 1986 ed il 1990, quando il gruppo era sotto contratto con l’etichetta indipendente Restless Records.
Vi segnaliamo che i Flaming Lips si esibiranno in data unica italiana il prossimo 14 Novembre all’Alcatraz di Milano.
