Product Description

Rolling Stone (12/11/97, p.78) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...ZAIREEKA's wall-of-surround-sound approach melds droning-rock dissonance with warped, off-kilter pop melodies, producing a totally immersing, post-PET SOUNDS seance..."
Q Magazine (12/02, p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The effect is both thrilling and unsettling..."
Mojo (7/02, p.60) - "...Expensive, odd, but impressive if you get it to work."
New Musical Express (1/3/98, p.32) - 10 (out of 10) - "...even by the Flaming Lips' synapse-searing standards, ZAIREEKA is a tatanic, bedazzled trip to the furthest reaches of the imagination....the Flaming Lips have released arguably their most beautiful music....To reiterate: a work of genius."
Entertainment Weekly (11/14/97, p.93) - "...the Oklahoma quartet has placed the various components of ZAIREEKA's eight songs onto four CDs, ideally to be played simultaneously on four separate stereos....Whether human anatomy is equipped to handle octophonic sound is anyone's guess." - Rating: A
Magnet (1-2/98, p.69) - "...dense, catchy walls of sound that just happen to be emanating from eight speakers..."

私は1枚にSTEREO/編集してCD-Rで聴いたのですが、F.LIPS の作品群の中では最も”RAVE”色の強い”ALBUM” 勿論”BOTTOM”は”ROCK”ですが。

世界初!4枚を同時再生する事で1つの作品になる特殊な8thｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ｡環境､回転数の問題も当然あるが､4方向からﾎﾞｰｶﾙやﾗｽﾄの犬の咆哮が聴こえる様を想像を絶する凄みを感じる｡来日記念『Race for the Prize EP』にてM2～3を完全楽曲として聴く事も出来る｡

点数つけらんねー（笑高校の学園祭の時初めて四枚同時に聴けました。気味悪いと不評でした。当時はﾌﾞﾚｲｸﾋﾞｰﾂを聴く感じで無理やりﾊﾞﾗで聴いとりましたそれでも充分満足してました
