Album review: The Flaming Lips - Dark Side of the Moon
**** Warners 9362496687, £12.99
Deconstructing a 37-year-old classic rock album is brave to the point of insanity, but just about defines Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips.
Elements of Pink Floyd's rock milestone remain, but the Lips' re-imaginings bear little resemblance to what went before.
Time is disorientating, and Money sounds like a completely different currency, the distinctive bass figure relocated to a mad professor's sound laboratory. Us & Them, however, retains the Floyd's disconcerting beauty.
