Colour Me Pop is probably not the best place to start but worthwhile none the less.
I'm pretty new to Flipper's Guitar having heard about them through Cornelius. There's little crossover with Cornelius's most recent solo work (Point and Sensuous) but those who like Fantasma and dug deeper to listen to 69/96 and especially The First Question Award will find a lot about Flipper's Guitar to enjoy. The sound is deeply rooted in English pop of the 60s and 80s, principally 80s Jangle-Pop and C86 with some Madchester and Psychedelic rock creeping in. The main sound is the then fashionable (in Japan) Shibuya-kei style, which is basically a cross between lounge music, latin music and guitar pop. Think Stereolab or Orange Juice and you get the idea.
The album appears to be an odds and sods collection of non-album singles and compilation tracks with a sprinkling of cuts from each of the group's studio albums. Again i'm pretty new to them, but this disc seems to collect the majority of their non-album work and is really worth having. I just need to pick up the albums themselves! Anyway, this album isn't quite what it's cracked-up to be since it chops around and focuses on rarer songs. But, it is the Flipper's CD that seems to sell for the lowest price on Amazon and has a lot of great tracks. My picks are Camera! Camera! Camera!, Summer Beauty 1990, Love Train, Coffee-Milk Crazy and the epic closer The World Tower.
