I am selling a collectible bundle of limited edition Flaming Lips Records, with only 1000 copies of these made, they will fit great in any collection!

At War With The Mystics (No. 14/1000) -

The underrated follow-up to 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' is more sober and pointed, full of philosophical grey areas and moral imperatives. “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song” asks to what end we would use unlimited power and privilege (“It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want,” Coyne sings), “Free Radicals” is a Dubya-era plea to a suicide bomber, and “The W.A.N.D.” is a fuzz-rock ripper that updates John Lennon’s “Power to the People” (“We’ve got the power now, motherf---ers!”) for the modern era. But 'At War with the Mystics' isn’t all polemics: ballads like “The Sound of Failure,” “Vein of Stars” and “Mr. Ambulance Driver” find the Lips at their most restrained, autumnal and lovely.

Clouds Taste Metallic (No. 530/1000) -

Expectations were high for the Flaming Lips to deliver another “She Don’t Use Jelly” to continue their MTV dominance with slackery-weirdo anthems. Instead, “Jelly” turned out to be a fluke — and instead of trying to churn out another hit, the Lips focused on crafting ambitious albums to critical applause. 'Clouds Taste Metallic' is solid but low-key, lacking instantly recognizable Lips songs. But on its best tracks, like “Placebo Headwound,” “Psychiatric Exploration of the Fetus With Needles” and “Christmas at the Zoo” (an inspired rip of Thunderclap Newman’s “Something in the Air”), they flex their songwriting and studio mastery and warm up for 'The Soft Bulletin'’s knockout punch.
