4. Let Me Be It
produced by The Flaming Lips and Dave Fridmann

Released on clear vinyl in a groovy hologram sleeve, this was a fantastic song from the epic In A Priest Driven Ambulance album. It has remained a live favourite to this day and it really does rock well - the guitar work is unreal and the compressed drum sound really creates an impacting sound.

The b-sides were recorded around the time of the album - Lucifer Rising was also a live favourite at the time with it's incendiary guitar dynamics turning a straight forward rock song into something else entirely. Ma, I Didn't Notice is a typical song of the time which didn't really fit in the album anywhere but is still pretty great. Let Me Be It is a beautiful song full of the greatest Lips longing feeling but built around a great upbeat riff. The whistling on the song is the perfect foil to the buzzing noise of the tune.
Cool is really the word here for the whole record. Worth paying for.
