About: Zaireeka

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Zaireeka is the eighth studio album by American rock band The Flaming Lips, released on October 28, 1997 by Warner Bros. Records. The album consists of four CDs designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems, they would produce a harmonic or juxtaposed sound; the discs could also be played in different combinations, omitting one, two or three discs. Each of its eight songs consists of four stereo tracks, one from each CD. The album's title is a portmanteau of two words: Zaire, chosen as a symbol of anarchy after Wayne Coyne heard a radio news story about the political instability of the African nation, and Eureka (literally: "I have found it"), an expression of joyous discovery.

Zaireeka was the first album by the band since the departure of guitarist Ronald Jones. It acted as a preview of the music and style that would surface on the next album The Soft Bulletin (1999), which was recorded during the same sessions as Zaireeka, and is the predecessor to the band's more conventional surround sound releases.

  • 《Zaireeka》는 1997년에 발매된 플레이밍 립스의 음반이다. 워너 브로스 레코드에 의해 발매되었다. (ko)
  • Zaireeka è l'ottavo album discografico del gruppo statunitense The Flaming Lips, pubblicato nel 1997. Il titolo è una crasi che include le parole Zaire (Paese scelto per essere simbolo di anarchia) e eureka (espressione di gioia che significa letteralmente "ho trovato" e che si dice quando si ha un'idea). L'album è costituito da quattro CD aventi tutti la stessa tracklist. Il disco, infatti, è stato progettato in maniera tale che, quando vengono riprodotti simultaneamente i quattro CD, ne esce fuori un suono armonico e sovrapposto. I dischi possono essere anche riprodotti in diverse combinazioni, cambiando od omettendo quindi l'utilizzo di alcuni strumenti. (it)
  • Zaireeka - ósmy album zespołu The Flaming Lips. Jego tytuł to połączenie słów Zair i eureka. Jest to wydawnictwo eksperymentalne, gdzie 4 CD zawierające różne elementy utworów mają być grane jednocześnie tworząc jednolite kompozycje o znacznie bardziej rozbudowanym i eklektycznym brzmieniu niż te na wcześniejszych, osadzonym w typowym rockowym graniu płytach. Album wywołał wiele kontrowersji ze względu na swój format i trudności jakich nastręczał by można go było otworzyć (czyli potrzebowanie 4 różnych odtwarzaczy CD). Poza fanowskimi miksami w stereo, w internecie dostępny jest też fanowski miks w 5.1 na DVD. Zespół planuje wydać także swoją wersję DVD w przyszłości. Wersje stereo niektórych utworów ukazały się jako drugie strony singli z następnej płyty, The Soft Bulletin. (pl)
  • Zaireeka é o oitavo álbum de estúdio da banda The Flaming Lips, foi lançado em 1997. Combinando as palavras Zaire e Eureka, "Zaireeka" é um termo cunhado por Wayne Coyne lide da banda, simbolizando a fusão da anarquia e do gênio. Zaireeka é um dos trabalhos mais curiosos do Flaming Lips. O álbum é dividido em 4 discos idênticos, com as mesmas faixas, porém com arranjos e orquestrações diferentes, que podem ser executados em até 4 CD players simultaneamente, de forma que o ouvinte pode escolher uma determinada combinação de discos: 2, 3 ou os 4 tocando ao mesmo tempo.
