Zaireeka is the eighth studio album by the alternative rock band The Flaming Lips. Released on October 28, 1997, the experimental rock album consists of four compact discs. Each of its eight songs consists of four stereo tracks, one from each CD. The album was designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems, the four CDs would produce a harmonic or juxtaposed sound. The discs may be included in different combinations, omitting one, two or three discs.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Zaireeka is the eighth studio album by the alternative rock band The Flaming Lips. Released on October 28, 1997, the experimental rock album consists of four compact discs. Each of its eight songs consists of four stereo tracks, one from each CD. The album was designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems, the four CDs would produce a harmonic or juxtaposed sound. The discs may be included in different combinations, omitting one, two or three discs. 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, an expression of joyous discovery. Zaireeka was the first album made 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) and is the predecessor to the band's more conventional surround sound releases.
  • Zaireeka es un álbum de The Flaming Lips que fue lanzado en 1997. Es muy experimental, y consiste en una caja de cuatro discos que deben ser tocados al mismo tiempo.
  • Zaireeka er et musikkalbum bestående av fire CD-plater, utgitt av den amerikanske gruppen The Flaming Lips 28. oktober 1997. De fire CD-platene har lik rekkefølge og lengde på kuttene, men har forskjellig musikkinnhold. Meningen er at alle fire skal spilles samtidig på hvert sitt musikkanlegg for å danne et komplett lydbilde. Siden synkronstarten blir unøyaktig, og hver CD-spiller har små individuelle variasjoner i hastighet, kan musikkopplevelsen variere fra gang til gang. Navnet Zaireeka er ifølge bandmedlem Wayne Coyne en kombinasjon av Zaire og eureka (gledesrop ved oppdagelse).
