Speaking of his own collaboration, The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne said: "To be able play with a track as uncompromising and confrontational as John and Yoko's 'Cambridge 1969' is, for any curious artist, a rare treat. We took Yoko's primal screams and John's moaning feedback and turned them into a kind of Ornette Colemanesque melody... I fear we may have de-fanged rocks' most disturbing/art/jam."
