Sometimes the reverb from a sound comes before the actual sound and sometimes it is delayed causing an agitating but invigorating song structure. It’s an interesting idea, but the high end frequency really hurts your ears.Because most CD players will not play in synch with each other, every listen is different. “Though their hearing was temporarily impaired, the participants reported feeling as if they could predict the future,” Coyne added. The song is based on the myth that being exposed to such frequencies at high volumes for extended periods of time has strange psychological side effects, Coyne said. Liner notes warn that this track should not be listened to while driving or when infants are within listening range. At the end, all four CDs come together with a numbing funeral parlor organ.”How Will We Know (Futuristic Crashendos)” contains extremely high and low frequencies that can cause a person to become disoriented, confused, or nauseated, Coyne said. On “The Train Runs Over The Camel But Is Derailed By The Gnat,” sounds collide and clash with each other, but the vocal melody runs close together. Featuring a ‘spacey’ bass line, echoing moans, and heavy booming drums, this composition almost puts the listener in the secret agent’s shoes. Collapsing under the pressure of being this most important person, he goes insane, but wonders: Is insanity just imagination that can’t find its way back to reality?, Coyne explained. “Riding To Work In The Year 2025 (You’re Invisible Now)” is about a character who imagines that he is a secret agent on his way to work in the future, Coyne said. All eight songs seem to carry the theme of insanity, which isn’t too unfamiliar if you’ve heard previous Flaming Lips albums. Upon instruction, they all started the tapes at the same time and what resulted was a kind of mutated symphony, Coyne said. Strategically parking the cars, he gave each person a cassette with specifically arranged music, sounds, and frequencies. In the fall of 1996, Coyne gathered fifty people with loud car stereos in a covered parking garage, he said. “It’s a kind of anarchy meets inspiration, or maybe a mess with a purpose,” he said.The concept behind “Zaireeka” stems from what has come to be known as “The Parking Lot Experiments,” Coyne said. When played simultaneously on four separate players, “Zaireeka” impresses your ears, while simultaneously disorienting and confusing them.”Zaireeka” is a combination of the words Zaire and Eureka, front man Wayne Coyne said. Thanks to the Flaming Lips, a band ahead of its time, comes an innovative listening experience.Their eighth album, “Zaireeka,” consists of four CDs featuring the same eight compositions, but each has drastically different music/gibberish. Flaming Lips' 4-CD set impresses and confuses
