Flaming Lips

08.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

After 20 years of existence and having clocked up 11 albums, Flaming Lips are still on great form. Led by the elegant Wayne Coyne, the American trio have found the magic formula for eternal youth, as proved on the enjoyable Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. The record offers a programme of merciless war against wicked pink robots, baroque folly, recreational pop peppered with vintage electronics, cartoon-like effects and a multitude of listening levels. More recently came Fight Test, an album of sassy cover versions. This ecclectic and flamboyant music is to be discoverd on the Miles Davis Hall stage. (FFJM © 2003)

Whereas Jazz constitutes the Festival’s historic core, other styles of music were quickly integrated into the Festival, bound together by a common thread of mutual curiosity and enthusiasm.
