These fellows are certainly not unknown nor unsung; I'm merely posting to exclaim how pleased I am that it seems the Lips consulted their debut self-titled EP of 1984 in sourcing influence for their most recent double LP, Embryonic. I truly thought they were never flying back from symphonic Floofville. Sure, it was a gorgeous and luscious Floofville, but all those symphonics left little room for the dirty decay of their early years. An interesting note on this EP: though Wayne plays guitar on this, his brother Mark is on vocals, his last before leaving the band.Grab a bag full of thoughts and start your own planet.

ahem, i has to say, that this was not the cover of the purple vinyl i resold 20 yrs back, but whatevs: balustrade and liz hopping 'round in the forest? hellsyeah!
I went with the initial '84 Restless cover. We aim to please here in the forest, so you'll now find the '87 Pink Dust purple reissue and the '87 Netherlands Enigma version on classic black.
