In a Priest Driven Ambulance marks a pivotal moment for The Flaming Lips with the addition of Jonathan Donahue as a member of the band (and later Mercury Rev), along with Dave Fridmann behind the board for the first time. The blend of lo-fi psychedelic rock retains the melodic chaos while exploring new experimental territory. Wayne Coyne finds his voice, and tracks like “Shine on Sweet Jesus” showcase his spiritual fixation, filtered through fuzz pedals and existential yearning. It’s an ambitious, unpolished gem that foreshadows the band’s later sonic evolutions.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Sweet Jesus (Jesus Song No. 1) 23:20 - Raining Babies 32:42 - Take Meta Mars 37:30 - Five Stop Mother Superior Rain Outro - Unconsciously Screaming   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
