Telepathic Surgery

Telepathic Surgery from 1989 includes the Sub Pop single Drug Machine In Heaven which was the band’s first official single. Experimental, even by the Flaming Lips standards, the band's third album is a glorious and mind-expanding mix of heavily effected guitar solos, backwards recordings and surrealistic imagery. Again, the classic song titles keep coming with Chrome Plated Suicide, Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon (Fuck Led Zeppelin), and Drug Machine in Heaven. Telepathic Surgery became a big influence on many bands such as Mercury Rev and Beck to Grandaddy and the Olivia Tremor Control.
