FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE— Oklahoma psych-rock legends The Flaming Lips proudly announce the Mystics 20th Anniversary Edition. This deluxe reissue expands their 2006 album into a massive 14-disc box set. It features hours of previously unreleased material. Fans can finally hear the band's true creative process from this era.
A Masterpiece Unlocked
The core of the new collection consists of raw, unedited studio sessions. Listeners will experience the Mystics 20th Anniversary Edition in its rawest form. This includes 400 hours of frontman Wayne Coyne screaming into a galvanized metal bucket. The band recorded these tracks during late-night experimental sessions in Oklahoma City.
"We wanted to capture the cosmic tension of the mid-2000s," said Dr. Helene Vasquez-Thorne, Lead Researcher at the Center for Studies That Confirm What You Already Suspected. "Our research shows that 98 percent of psych-rock from this era was just men yelling near household containers. This reissue finally proves that theory."
Unprecedented Audio Extras
The Mystics 20th Anniversary Edition also includes rare bonus audio. Fans will get 10 discs of tense, passive-aggressive band arguments. These tracks detail the exact division of labor regarding the band's giant inflatable space bubbles. The audio has been fully remastered in Dolby Atmos for maximum spatial dread.
"This release represents a landmark in physical media," said Marcus Bellweather, Warner Records' Senior VP of Catalog Bloat. "We believe consumers want to pay $300 to hear three men argue about laser pointers in 5.1 surround sound."
