Description:
A truly eclectic compilation, this installment of the LATE NIGHT TALES series features tunes selected by Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. For fans of the revered Oklahoma band, the initial attraction will likely be the Lips' take on the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," a rare track recorded during a BBC radio session. However, what really impresses here is the range of other artists that Coyne has brought to the table. The mood is established with Bjork's hauntingly beautiful "Unravel," which is immediately followed by "My Ship," a gentle tune by jazz legend Miles Davis. Later, the styles shift from dreamy electronica (Aphex Twin's "Flim") to anthemic rock (the Chameleons' "Up the Down Escalator") to melancholy folk (Nick Drake's "River Man"). Coyne enthusiastically comments on every track in the liner notes, making it clear that this excellent collection is a labor of love by a performer who's never stopped being a fan in his own right.
