The Flaming Lips, Stardeath and White Dwarfs - The Flaming Lips And Stardeath And White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins And Peaches Doing Dark Side Of The Moon

The Flaming Lips have a flair for making other artists' music their own. Their versions of T. Rex's "Ballrooms of Mars," Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure" and Madonna's "Borderline," a song they recorded with Stardeath and White Dwarfs, who appear here, all show what they took from those artists and what they gave back. Though the Lips always seemed more indebted to Syd Barett-era Pink Floyd, they put their own stamp on Dark Side's paranoia and moody atmospheres. Despite the sheer number of musicians playing on it, The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs with Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon is a distinctly non-bloated treatment of one of rock's most epic albums.
