[gump]

Has anyone actually listened to Zaireeka with the four CD-player setup?

 

[U2Man]

everyone but pitchfork has.

 

[LMP]

I have the stereo mixdown version, it's like a rough Soft Bulletin.

 

[xaviMF22]

Has anyone actually listened to Zaireeka with the four CD-player setup?

I actually bought it

worst $20 I ever spent

 

[U2Man]

I actually bought it

worst $20 I ever spent

...and you didn't even have 4 cd players...

 

[xaviMF22]

...and you didn't even have 4 cd players...

I did

 

[gump]

does it also make sense to listen to the CDs separately? (may be a stupid question, but I never doubt what the lips can achieve!)

 

[LMP]

Do not listen to the CDs seperately, it's basically like listening to parts of a song.

One CD will have the guitar and vocals, another will have bass and baby screaming, you just don't know what you're going to get.

I'm using some iTunes money on some of these. Been wanting suggestions, and here is U2Manboobs just handing it over. Awesome.

[gump]

Hit to Death in the Future Head is pretty good, In a Priest Driven Ambulance is rough but has some gems.

i tried to be nice here...

this has just turned into an order.

Has anyone actually listened to Zaireeka with the four CD-player setup?

yeah its great. it was quite a feat to pull it off, and all the different setups i had were varying quality- but i think that adds to it. not matter how careful you are to set them starting at the same time they end up off. i've listened to it three time this way, and all three were different.

i always thought they should release it as a 5.1 mix, but i guess that kind of goes against the general idea.

anyway, it is quite an experience and really cool to listen to that way.

my top 5 favorite:

1.Lightning Strikes the Postman
2. Spoonful Wighs a Ton
3. Race For The Prize
4. This Here Giraffe
5. The Big Ol Bug is The New baby Now (I Have 3 dogs)
