Blast the Human Flower is an album by the English experimental musician Danielle Dax. It was her first album recorded while signed to Sire Records.

The cover artwork is by Stylorouge.

Reception

Billboard noted the "interesting songs" but felt that Dax lacked "the kind of distinctive chops to break her out from the pack". The "exotic cover" of "Tomorrow Never Knows" was singled out in the review as "the best overture for modern rock radio". Music & Media felt that even though the album was "pretty offbeat", the "total avant garde extravaganza has gone".
