Ocean child - songs of Yoko Ono

"Deerhoof's take on "No No No" adds a jolt of electricity, drawing from Ono's experimental side, and applying its sonic niche, for a scratchy moment of burnt-synth avant-garde rock. "Mrs Lennon", performed by The Flaming Lips, blows out the song's haunting minimalism via the group's signature kaleidoscope of instruments and effects, Wayne Coyne's vocals floaty and vulnerable. Stephin Merritt's take on Plastic Ono Band's "Listen, The Snow Is Falling" is an enticing amalgam of voice and synth, at once familiar and spectacular, like a streaking comet or a shooting star. A cover's worst offence is the feeling that it was crafted by rote, a straightahead rendering that adds no personal flair to the original song. Fortunately, 'Ocean Child' largely avoids that lack of imagination".
