Not knocking the Christian mystical tradition...
...just recommending the new Flaming Lips album, 'At War With The Mystics', to the moot community. I have a copy, and I think its great.
It has a less electronic, programmed vibe than 'Yoshimi...', and reminds me more of good old rock and roll, with some great guitar riffs. There are also some more funky, soulful moments interspersed throughout. Actually, a lot of styles are touched on, giving the overall impression of weirdness which the Lips are so well known for. Not only is it an interesting listen style-wise, but, typically, the lyrics are very thought-provoking/inspiring. Check it out here.
