Zaireeka logistics

Unread post by kazam »

'Zaireeka', just in case you're not aware, is a release by the Flaming Lips. Flaming Lips newbies would likely be best served by the 'Soft Bulletin'. Should you be able to put aside your initial (likely valid) concern that the vocalist can't sing then this may hook you.

Back to 'Zaireeka', which is a bit of an oddity (even for the Lips). Four CDs, intended to be played simultaneously on four different systems. I'm thinking:

System One
A80s, TCS, Allisons

System Two
A80s, P50, Cube Ones

System Three
Nytech CA252/CXA252, ARC 202

System Four
Talk Electronics 3.1b, Royd Abbot

Think I can just about get four sources together. If the logistics don't finish me off, you shall have pics.. :auto-ambulance:

Has anyone here experienced the full fat 'Zaireeka' experience?

Too far out for me. Loved Yoshimi... and At War with the Mystics though.

I can remember reading an interview with the Flaming Lips where they managed to do it in a student residence with the discs playing in 4 separate rooms and the listeners stood in the corridor.

Personally I love 'The Soft Bulletin' (which is an HDCD and benefits from the extra resolution) and would recommend 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots' if you want to hear the Lips at their psychedelic, wacky best.

Edit: if you could have 4 Sonos speakers, each on a separate channel, then it would be a doddle.
