how'd you do that?

I ripped all 4 discs, and mixed them together by importing each track into Cubase (any recording software would work).

speaking as someone who has done the all 4 stereo system idea, i got to say theres no way you'd get the same effect mixing it all down to one. Its so much better/interesting with 4 because different parts come in thru different stereos at different times creating this great flow and organic feeling.At times you can hear two drumbeats. Youre just cheating yourself if u think one will suffice.

Back to the poll, I like clouds taste metallic best, but transmissions and in a priest driven ambulance both tie in at a very close second in my opinion. I really love those records the best.

Yoshimi is the best in my book.

I went with priest driven ambulance. IT fuckin rules. With probably clouds and bulletine coming in behind it.

Zaireaka is the fucking best. Hearing it through eight speakers in four different areas of your room is an audio orgasm. However, it's not on the list, so Priest Driven Ambulance would be my second choice.

I've done it too. But I wanted something to be able to listen to on my ipod as well. When I get the chance (which isn't often) I use all 4 discs at once, but if I feel like listening to it on the bus, I have my own version. And, on the flip side, I got to personalize my own Zaireeka. I got to mix it. I didn't know how to do much, but I worked with it. I panned things left and right, and to the front and back. That in itself was a lot of fun.

I want to do the zaireeka on shrooms. That'd be holy.

Also, glad to see someone voted oh my gawd! and no one voted mystics... for that album is helplessly bland and reliant on 'krazy noises!'
