English new-wave experimental band led by Irish musician David Cunningham; debut album released in 1979. Known for studio-based avant-garde production and deconstructed covers such as their hit interpretation of "Money."

Led by David Cunningham (Irish); associated with the London new-wave scene; collaborated with Michael Nyman on the second album (mentioned in reviews); vocalist Sally Peterson is noted in reviews for performances on Top Ten; notable single/cover: "Money."

The reviews praise The Flying Lizards' inventive, studio-based deconstructions of pop and rock. Critics highlight clever production, playful malice and occasional melancholy. Key albums discussed are Flying Lizards (1979), Fourth Wall (1981) and Top Ten (1984). Overall reception on DeBaser is favorable.

For:Fans of experimental new wave, avant-garde pop, deconstructed covers and studio-oriented music.

 In short: it's a hell of a record.

 An overlooked album by a little-remembered band, out of print for over thirty years, "Top Ten" is a product of its time (the remix trend was at its peak), but it went unnoticed

 A joke, if you will, but much, much more intelligent than many more "serious" things, or so-called. Unmissable.
