“The Colossal Gray Sunshine,” featuring guest vocals from the Flaming Lips, has been remixed as the emphasis track for Faultline’s lost electronic classic “Your Love Means Everything”, which will be re-issued in the U.S. with four new tracks on August 24th. Both versions of the song will appear on the album.

“Your Love Means Everything” also features guest vocals from Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Michael Stipe, Joseph Arthur and others. Mojo called the album “exquisitely moving.”

The Flaming Lips were just outgrowing their cult status when they originally recorded the track with London studio whiz Dave “Faultline” Kosten, who has remixed the song as the emphasis track on the UK and US versions of the album. It can be previewed here:

The Mississippi Free Press produced this story through the MFP Solutions Lab, supported by the Solutions Journalism Network. This series digs into Mississippi’s systemic issues and sheds light on responses to them in other communities. Beyond just reporting on problems, these stories interrogate their causes and inspect potential solutions.

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
