The Flying Lizards were a bizarre manifestation of the post punk / No Wave era’s anything-goes spirit.
Even for the times, they were an unbridled Dada mindfuck, releasing one of the most resolutely inaccessible “pop” albums ever made in the form of Top Ten – an achievement made doubly notable by the fact that it was, indeed, the Lizards interpreting hit pop and rock songs, rendered as cold, mechanical deconstructions of the originals. In spirit they’re close to some of the mutant disco groups from New York but with a much more forbidding affect.
The cover effectively telegraphs that Top Ten isn’t a typical collection of standards:
The Flying Lizards were more an art project than a band, and their music was more sketched than composed. (The Art of Noise were trying for something similar, but were fatally undermined by Trevor Horn’s connection to the self-conscious seriousness of the progressive rock scene he came out of. Which is not to say that Art of Noise weren’t great, just that as a prankish art-fuck they weren’t successful.)
The remarkable thing about the Lizards is how fresh they sound even today: their music has lost none of its alien allure.
The Flying Lizards are now almost totally obscure, although they still have a small but rabid group of fans online.
Finding their music is nearly impossible, as all three of their original albums (and, of course, all their singles) are now completely out of print, and the most recent pressing of their albums were Japanese CDs released without the knowledge or authorization of the band !!!!
This LP was Printed in Finland !! with the authorization of the band .. and that makes it double RARE !!
