The Flaming Lips - Christmas On Mars

Christmas On Mars is a fantastical and disturbing film freakout. You expected something less from The Flaming Lips? Seven years in the making, Christmas On Mars was directed and written by The Flaming Lips’ visionary frontman Wayne Coyne and features the band members and many of their associates as actors in a story set during the colonization of Mars. The 86-minute film and its original score are presented in a stand-alone DVD, and as a CD+DVD package which includes an audio CD of the score. With Christmas On Mars, psychedelia finally has its epic film.

On the DVD (in Amaray packaging), which includes the film, the score may be heard in 5.1 Surround and stereo mixes. Also included are 25 minutes of band interviews, behind the scenes footage, Russian subtitles, a secret outtake scene and more. The CD+DVD (in a SmartPak) adds a booklet containing rants and notes.

press quotes
“Destined for cult status…. Forget the plot, it’s about textures: black-and-white images with psychedelic bursts; dashes of David Lynch, the ’70s midnight movie Dark Star and 2001; an echo of The Wizard Of Oz; and in a riff on maternity, maybe an iota of The Matrix. Dude, pass the munchies.” —The New York Times

“We’ve see The Flaming Lips’ Christmas On Mars— and it’s as weird as we’d hoped!” —New York Magazine

history
After lauded indie albums, The Flaming Lips debuted on Warner Bros. with 1991’s Hit To Death In The Future Head. Transmissions From The SatelliteHeart and Clouds Taste Metallic followed. 1999’s The Soft Bulletin topped numerous year-end best-of lists and helped rank the band among the most influential in the world. 2002’s Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots ranked #4 in Spin and #11 in NME on their end-of-year lists, and won a Grammy.
