The Flaming Lips' Zaireeka

From Calgary - No need to alter your consciousness. We'll take care of that when you arrive.

Compared to this project's inspiration, head Lip Wayne Coyne's Parking Lot Experiments, where up to 50 cars played specifically arranged tapes in unison, Zaireeka seems almost tame. Only four CDs make up this critically hailed 1997 offering by the well-loved Oklahoma City psychedelicists. The trick is playing them simultaneously, as even tiny differences in play speeds create a delicious confusion that is hallucinogenic, but nevertheless legal. NME magazine called it a “bedazzled trip to the furthest reaches of the imagination… a work of pure genius.”
