Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is the tenth studio album by American rock band the Flaming Lips, released on July 16, 2002, by Warner Bros. Records. The album saw the band pursue a more electronic direction than previous efforts, incorporating acoustic guitars and rhythms influenced by hip hop and top 40 music. The album was well-received critically and commercially, helping the band break into popularity, and was adapted into a musical in 2012.[2] In 2022, the band announced a 20th anniversary box set version of the album and that they would perform the album in full twice in early 2023.[3]
Music and lyrics
The lyrics of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots concern a diverse array of subject matter, mostly melancholy ponderings about love, mortality, artificial emotion, pacifism, and deception, while telling the story of Yoshimi's battle. The title character is inspired by Boredoms/OOIOO member Yoshimi P-We, following a comment in the Flaming Lips studio that her machine-sound abstract singing sounds like she is battling monsters. Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne added 'pink'.[4] P-We also performs on the album. Some listeners consider Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to be a concept album; however, the story is debated, as it is only directly apparent in the first four tracks. Despite the story-type title and science fiction themes, Coyne has made it clear that Yoshimi is not intended to be a concept album.[5]
The vocal melody of track one, "Fight Test", echoes Cat Stevens's "Father and Son". Stevens, now Yusuf Islam, is receiving royalties following a relatively uncontentious settlement. Coyne has claimed that he was unaware of the songs' similarities until producer Dave Fridmann pointed them out.[6] This claim, however, is contradicted by his statement to Rolling Stone magazine: "I know 'Father and Son' and I knew there would be a little bit of comparison. 'Fight Test' is not a reference necessarily to the ideas of 'Father and Son', but definitely a reference to the cadence, the melody, and chord progression. I think it's such a great arrangement of chords and melody".[7] The final track, "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)", won a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.[8] The Flaming Lips also won the same award for "The Wizard Turns On...", taken from At War with the Mystics, in 2006.[9] The title of the fifth track, "In the Morning of the Magicians", is a reference to the book The Morning of the Magicians.[10]
Release
Commercial performance
In recent years,[when?] Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots has had a bigger commercial impact[specify] than the band's 1999 breakthrough album The Soft Bulletin, and became their first gold-certified release in April 2006.[11] As of 2009, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots has sold 570,000 copies in United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[12]

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots received widespread acclaim from critics.[13] On Metacritic, the album has a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 based on 27 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[24] Calling the album "as strange as it is wonderful", Billboard nonetheless noted that "beneath the sunny, computer-generated atmospherics and the campy veneer of talk about gladiator-style clashes between man and machines with emotions, Yoshimi is actually a somber rumination on love and survival in an unfathomable world."[25] Tom Moon of Rolling Stone praised the album's "ambitious" production,[26] while Fortune magazine called it "a lush and haunting electronic symphony."[27] Uncut declared that "even by their standards, Yoshimi is astonishing."[23] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice gave the album a three-star honorable mention rating,[28] indicating "an enjoyable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well treasure".[29] Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots appeared in the best-albums-of-the-decade lists of several music publications, such as Rolling Stone (#27) and Uncut (#11), with Uncut also declaring it the greatest album released in the magazine's lifetime. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[30]
Musical
In 2007, it was announced that the album would be made into a Broadway musical by The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin and director Des McAnuff.[31][32] Frontman Wayne Coyne said of the plot:
There's the real world and then there's this fantastical world. This girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of cancer. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease. It's almost like the disease has to win in order for her soul to survive. Or something like that.
Des McAnuff stated that Aaron Sorkin exited the project after it became clear the musical would be sung-through.[33] The musical includes existing songs from the album, as well as two other Flaming Lips albums, The Soft Bulletin and At War with the Mystics.[34] The show received its world premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse in November 2012, starring Kimiko Glenn as Yoshimi Yasukawa, Paul Nolan as Ben Nickel, Nik Walker as Booker, Pearl Sun as Mrs. Yasukawa, John Haggerty as Mr. Yasukawa and Tom Hewitt as Dr. Petersen.[35]

The Flaming Lips auf Wikipedia (oder andere Quellen):
The Flaming Lips sind eine US-amerikanische Rockband, die 1983 in Oklahoma City gegründet wurde. Die Musik der Band zeichnet sich durch Experimentierfreude und stilistische Vielfalt aus.
Bandgeschichte
Nach der Bandgründung war zunächst Wayne Coynes Bruder Mark der Sänger, aber nur an der Aufnahme der ersten EP The Flaming Lips von 1984 beteiligt. Nach Mark Coynes Ausstieg rückte Wayne Coyne an dessen Stelle. Es folgte 1986 das erste Album Hear It Is, das auf dem Independent-Label Restless Records erschien. In ihrer Frühphase besaßen die Flaming Lips eine musikalische Verwandtschaft zu Mercury Rev, da deren Gitarrist Jonathan Donahue ab 1989 zeitweise bei den Flaming Lips mitmusizierte.
Nach dem immer noch gitarrenlastigen Album Clouds Taste Metallic von 1995 öffneten sich die Flaming Lips hörbar elektronischen Klängen und Effekten, insbesondere auf dem Album Zaireeka von 1997 – ein polyphones Werk bestehend aus vier CDs, die alle gleichzeitig auf verschiedenen Playern anzuhören sind. Im Rahmen dieses Projekts fand eine Reihe von Happenings wie das Parkplatz-Experiment oder das Ghetto-Blaster-Experiment statt: Beim Parkplatz-Experiment bekamen bis zu 40 Freiwillige von der Band eingespielte Kassetten ausgehändigt, die sie auf einem Parkplatz in ihren Autoradios simultan abspielen mussten. Beim Ghetto-Blaster-Experiment wies Wayne Coyne ein Ensemble von erneut 40 Freiwilligen an, von der Band eingespielte Musik in umgebauten Ghetto-Blastern abzuspielen, wobei die Teilnehmer Lautstärke, Geschwindigkeit oder Tonart variieren mussten.
Jahrelanger Tourstress führte dazu, dass der Gitarrist Ronald Jones Ende 1996 die Band verließ. Dieser erkrankte außerdem psychisch.
Den künstlerischen Durchbruch schaffte die Band 1999 mit dem Album The Soft Bulletin, das von einem orchestrierten Sound und philosophischen bis exzentrischen Texten geprägt ist. Ab 2001 arbeiteten die Flaming Lips an einem Science-Fiction-Film namens Christmas on Mars auf Low-Budget-Level, der im Oktober 2005 fertiggestellt werden konnte. Der Film besitzt experimentellen Charakter mit kryptischer Handlung und erschien, nachdem er auf diversen Filmfestivals zu sehen gewesen war, am 7. November 2008 auf DVD, zusammen mit der Filmmusik auf CD.
Im Jahr 2002 präsentierte die Band ihr Album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, das sowohl bei den Kritikern als auch bei den Käufern gut abschnitt und mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnet wurde. Im Jahr 2005 erschien die Dokumentation The Fearless Freaks des Regisseurs Bradley Beesley. Neben den Bandmitgliedern und deren Familienangehörigen kommen auch Schauspieler wie Adam Goldberg, Juliette Lewis und Christina Ricci zu Wort. Das künstlerische Schaffen und die Drogenprobleme der Band werden thematisiert. Für Yes, I’m a Witch, ein im Frühjahr 2007 veröffentlichtes Remix-Album von Lennon-Witwe Yoko Ono, steuerten die Flaming Lips eine Neuinterpretation des Stücks Cambridge 1969 bei.
Das psychedelisch-poppige Album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) zeigt deutliche Einflüsse der Flaming Lips; auf deren Beatles-Tributealbum With A Little Help From My Fwends (2014) ist Cyrus mit dem Lied Lucy in the Skies With Diamonds vertreten. Ein psychedelisches Musik-Video mit Cyrus und den Lips (zum selben Lied) erschien im Sommer 2014.[1][2][3]
Bühnendarbietung
Neben dem Experimentieren mit Kunstblut (vor allem Frontmann Wayne Coyne) brachte die Band in ihren Bühnenshows riesige, aufblasbare Bälle ein, in denen sich die Bandmitglieder über das Publikum rollen ließen, sowie leicht bekleidete oder als Tiere kostümierte Tänzerinnen und große Mengen an Konfetti. Bis Ende der 1980er Jahre setzten die Flaming Lips bei manchen Auftritten die Bühne in Brand, warfen Feuerwerkskörper ins Publikum oder legten mit Nebelmaschinen den gesamten Saal in derart dichte Wolken, dass kaum jemand mehr etwas sehen konnte. Die spektakuläre Bühnenshow der Flaming Lips war ein Grund, warum die Gruppe 1990 von dem Major-Label Warner Bros. Records unter Vertrag genommen wurde, nachdem ein Mitarbeiter dieser Plattenfirma Zeuge eines der Konzerte geworden war.
