Sabastian, Zaaireeka comes with 4 discs meant to be play all at the same time.(as k-krack posted above) At first I thought it was a dumb idea. Why not just put all the stuff on one disc? But, that's the best part. You can play one disc in your computer, one in your dvd player, one in your sterio ect. and mix-mach the discs for a completely different sound.
With this one the flaming lip manage to make something that's beautiful, intense and full of noise. here's more info

The coolest part about Zaireeka is song #6, "How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos)." My girlfriend and I were listening to the album(s), and after that song, Jenny (my girlfriend's name is Jenny. Hi, Jenny. I love you!) started crying and laughing uncontrollably for about a half hour. See, Wayne put extremely high- and low-pitched frequencies on CD's 1, 3, and 4, and, as the label on the front of Zaireeka points out, they can cause people to become disoriented. It was really creepy and bizarre- I thought Jenny was getting really sick or hallucinating or something. She was fine soon after, though, and I suppose that's what Wayne intended to happen, so it's really cool.
