FLAMING LIPS SOFT BULLETIN DEMASTERED PATCH

Ronald Jones, the brilliant guitarist whose leads and textures had been one of the groupвЂ™s sonic signatures, left the group Warner Bros., The Flaming LipsвЂ™ label, was in turmoil following reorganization and some of the bandвЂ™s initial champions departed Steven Drozd, the superstar drummer, had a growing drug problem.

Their next album, Clouds Taste Metallic, didnвЂ™t sell nearly as well, and after a lengthy tour supporting it, they hit a patch of trouble. By the mid-1990s, The Flaming Lips had been playing music together for a long time and they lucked into a certain amount of success when вЂњShe DonвЂ™t Use Jelly,вЂќ from their 1993 album Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, became a whimsical MTV-fueled novelty hit.

One way to understand why The Soft Bulletin has endured is to go back to the anxious period it emerged from. By some measures, 20 years is the length of a generation, enough time to reflect on those around you who were born and grew up and grew old and those who might not be around anymore. The brilliance of 'Fight Test/One More Robot/Yoshimi', 'Ego Tripping', and of course 'Do You Realize' is what turned me into an uber-fan in the first place.ДЄnyway, I think we can all agree that the Lips have made some of the best (and most original) music of the past decade.ДЄnd I too am looking forward to the official 5.1 release of 'Zaireeka' (but the fan-made 'Zaireeka project' DVD will tide me over for now.Twenty-year anniversaries are the best album anniversaries - long enough to say the album truly comes from another world, but not so long ago that this particular world is entirely unfamiliar. The only weak spot I see is Yoshimi pt.2 (personally, I could do without it, and I rarely listen to it). That said, I think my own preferred version of 'Race For The Prize' doesn't even exist: The music would be the more dynamic 'demastered' version, but the vocals would lean towards the front and center approach of the remix.ДЄs for Mystics being better than Yoshimi, well, time may change my mind, but for now I hold Yoshimi much higher than Mystics. Plus, the 5.1 mix, which (in the case of the 'Race For The Prize' vocals) differs also. If is definitely confusing, since there are now 3 different CD versions of 'TSB': original US release, import version, and now the demastered CD. I believe the demastered CD is the band's preferred version of 'The Soft Bulletin', in terms of the mixes, song selection, and order of tracks. While the first track on the original release of 'The Soft Bulletin' has the vocals front and center, it was always listed as a 'remix', AFAIK. Perhaps you're referring to the 'demastered' CD that came with the 5.1 DVD, which does a similar thing, except alternating left and right instead of front right and rear right. (Right rear) But it's so dangerous, but they're determined

(Right front) Locked in heated battle, for the cure that is the prize (Right rear) Both of them side by side, so determined (Right front) Two scientists were racing for the good of all mankind The 5.1 mix of 'Race For The Prize' has the vocals in the right channel, alternating front and rear, like this: I personally thought Mystics was a better album musically than Yoshimi, and am waiting with baited breath to hear Pompeii, which might be the closes thing to hearing any of Pink Floyd's Meddle in true surround sound. While there are some great mixes on there, it leaves a lot to be desired. Just re-listen to Race for the Prize, the choice of putting the vocals in the left channel was beyond mind-boggling.
