Are you ready for this. It's the Flaming Lip's four disc experimental release Zaireeka mixed in 5.1 surround sound 8 times over and is set to various cult classic movie clips. The timing of the clips to the music is mind blowing. This is a must have for any Lips fan. Those not familiar with the Flaming Lips or the Zaireeka concept should also enjoy this incredible display of sound and vision. For more information on the music please see the review of the Zaireeka CD below.
The DVD was created by Joe Morales (aka JedE3) who has been mailing out copies to the community of the FLAMINGLIPS.COM message boards for almost a year now. The copy presented here was mailed to me by the master himself. The response has been overwhelming to say the least and has been met with critical acclaim. It's legend is only beginning.

Hear what the audiences around the world are saying:

"Got my DVD in the mail today. I was amazed how well put together it was! The montages were easily some of the most disturbing things I've seen when put with the music (especially 35,000 Ft Of Dispair)."

"i just wanted to congratulate and thank JedE3 for what really is an outstanding, visually stunning, extremely well put together piece of video collage."

"clockwork orange during the screaming section was a move of genius."

"That DVD (Zaireeka) is just amazing. 10 times better than I ever imagined. And I haven't even watched it in 5.1 yet! And it made me watch Jason and the Argonauts!"

"it is great. i must have watched it a dozen times. this thing is genius."

"This DVD is beautiful! I just finished watching it. Excellent editing job! I was so visually overstimulated in such a good way! Excellent choices with the movies/documentaries"

"well, it's official. my mind has been officially blown. i completely misunderstood what the visuals of this DVD were going to be. the results of this DVD blew my expectations right off the map."

"The guy who put this together is brilliant. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!"

"Right on, cool DVD. Gotta love all the movie clips from all the old favorites, Zaireeka just got better ! "

"Have treasured my CD copy of Zaireeka for years now but only got to hear it properly 3 or 4 times. This is going to be one of the downloads of the year!"

Review by Jason Ankeny from allmusic.com

A combination of the words "Zaire" and "Eureka," Zaireeka is a term coined by Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne symbolizing the fusion of anarchy and genius. It's a perfect title; Zaireeka is the culmination of the Lips' helter-skelter brilliance. Pushing the concept of interactive listening into new realms of possibility, the work extends Coyne's infamous "parking lot experiments" into not merely one album, but four separate discs that can be played separately or in groups of two, three, and four with multiple stereos. (Properly synchronized multi-disc playback requires more than one person — it's literally a party album.) Between combining the discs and toying with volume, balance, fidelity, etc., the options are truly limitless. No two multi-disc performances can be repeated, thanks to the space-time continuum and discrepancies from one CD player to another. Musically as well as conceptually, the Lips are defiantly experimental throughout Zaireeka; individually, each disc sounds more like free jazz than pop, although Coyne's diamond-sharp melodic sensibilities prevail even during the most chaotic moments. With each additional disc, the music's force and ingenuity reveals itself: "Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" is an epic orchestral noise suite, "Thirty-Five Thousand Feet of Despair" is a multi-narrative plane-crash drama remarkably evocative in its depiction of fear and chaos, and "How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos)" features such extreme high and low frequencies that it can lead to disorientation, confusion, or nausea (the track is not recommended to be played while operating a motor vehicle or in the presence of infants). Logistical nightmares aside, Zaireeka is a dense, difficult work, recommended only for the hardiest Flaming Lips fetishists; however, they're in for the musical experience of a lifetime.

Maybe when the baby is born, that would be a heck of a way to introduce it to music out of the womb!
