The Soft Bulletin Companion Disc was originally only available as a promo. Check out "Clouds Taste Metallic" (my personal favorite) - it was recorded somewhere else, but there's still that massive drum sound.ĭave would have to answer for himself, but I am under the impression that he likes to push gear to the limits to see what will come out. The Soft Bulletin is one of The Flaming Lips most popular and best-selling albums. Which verifies what I would have told you anyway: the great Lips drum sound is more Steven's unparalleled bashing and Dave's creative use of processing than any one room or piece of gear. The live room at Tarbox is nice, though when I was there our producer wasn't thrilled with the drum sounds he got. Got to meet Dave briefly, as well as Michael Ivins, who were both very personable, though I'm sure they would scarcely remember me. There was a whole room of archived old Lips reels, DATs, etc, which was very cool. Had the pleasure of recording in Fridmann's studio Tarbox around 2000-2002. Been a huge fan of the Lips since the early 90's. BTW ribbon mics are cool for this if recording to digital and compression and delay is also a good friends in the mixing process! I guess as usual it actually comes down to the player (Im NOT saying Im no where near as good as him.he's a fantastic drummer, I can only fake that), the instrument and creativity!Īlso, yes Dave Fridman as guest moderator would be awesome! Why has this never happened? He seems like a nice laid back dude that would do it! Maybe people around here should shoot Gearslutz a mail asking for this I've gotten close more than once by being in a room with concrete floor, high ceiling, not too big, throwing up some mics around the room where I thought it sounded "beefy", close micing BD & SD (for a little control), having big drums (24/26" BD etc.) and mimicking the way Steven Drozd would play. They didn't record in perfectly controlled rooms and I don't think they used too many mics. The Flaming Lips drum sound should not be that hard to get. The band have existed since the the beginning of the 80's so I guess they also are not the youngest of guys (comparing to todays music business). The Flaming Lips? Who the hell are they? I'm getting old.That is exactly one of the very beautiful things about The Flaming Lips! That everything seems kind of comic and far out yet underneath all of that are the deeper things and questions that is within all of us.

If anyone has any info on this leave a comment.Ī 2 Disc set at 192 kbps in one download HEREĠ3. But also because it's called simply "The Companion CD", not CDs. Not least because it's listed as a 1999 release and the radio sessions are from 2000. I have a feeling that Disc 1 might be the "official" release and Disc 2 might be a bootleg put together by someone.

Definitely a must for the Flaming Lips completeist, anyway. I think some of these songs/versions eventually came out as tracks on CD singles. I've decided to post it since I've never seen it around on the blogs. Not my favorite era Lips but what the hell it's the Lips.
