Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips

They achieve a cool sci-fi aesthetic in the first couple of tracks with the retro future sounding synths. Very dense sonically. Fight Test is a good intro but One More Robot is great, atmospheric with sad sounding melodies and a beautiful orchestral coda. The two parter title track is full of weird sounds but never really gets going. At its best in the more energetic tracks like Are You a Hypnotist?? Vocals hold the album back for me though, he gets whiny at times. Nevertheless some great soundscapes. Hard to describe, but one of those albums you just need to listen to.
