One of the most respected and innovative bands in music, The Flaming Lips scored a major breakthrough with 1999's The Soft Bulletin, the group's most accessible album to that point. Courageous, accomplished and exploding with intelligence and sonic texture, the album topped more than 60 year-end"best of" lists, helped rank the psychedlic-noise-popsters among the world's most influential bands and led to the best-selling of 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. The Soft Bulletin, in this ultimate version, is a must-have modern classic. This new CD+DVD edition of The Soft Bulletin features the album in Advanced Resolution Surround 5.1, plus videos, outtakes and other recordings and audio rarities. The extensive booklet features words by Wayne describing his experiences writing through the process of the Lips’ various audio and video projects.
