Yes, just like the Moody Blues!
“If you loved "The Soft Bulletin" way back when it debuted in 1999, you'll enjoy this lush, gorgeous performance. Unlike so many "live with symphony" albums out there, the orchestration and choral backing for the band seems like a logical treatment, and delivers a completely new interpretation of the album. Songs like "The Gash", "Race for the Prize" and "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" gain an expansiveness and power that is a nice complement to the original. The finale treatment of "Sleeping on the Roof" is simply sublime when performed with a symphony. A nice touch in the liner notes: every musician and vocalist in the Colorado Symphony is listed according to instrument and section. Seldom to these musicians get the acknowledgment the y deserve -- well done, Wayne!
As the Lips continue to wind down their career, this recording is beautiful gift for longtime fans to enjoy long after Wayne & Co. have retired their goofy stage props.”
