Oh... My... God!!! :yikes That's the album where you need 4 different sources that are synced together to play the album properly, isn't it? If you could figure out how to sync all 4 and combine that into a singular quad presentation, that could be like whole other level shit!
:worthy As for your question, in my opinion, I would say
Discrete! Discrete! Discrete! Discrete!
:51banana:
Edit: Wait, I just figured out that there is a combined 4 sets of
stereo pairs.
@: Maybe do FRONT Left & Right for one pair/RIGHT Front & Back for one pair/ REAR Left & Right for one pair/LEFT Front & Back for one pair. Wow.
Good luck! I'd love to hear it! :banana:
Re-Edit: If there is a pair that is more 'foundation' re: main drums and bass, I'd use that as Front. If there's a pair that is mostly effects/keyboard/percussion, I'd use that as Rear. Any main guitar and/or keyboard rhythm or melody, I would use as Left & Right.
re:Re-Edit: Logistics of listening to Zaireeka:
The speakers being used may be physically positioned in many different configurations (e.g. at different heights or even in entirely different rooms). Some listeners may even choose to disable the left or right speaker of one or more systems. Synchronization errors between the audio systems may cause effects such as reverb or echo being heard on one disc before the original sound is produced from another. Further, the type and quality of each audio system affects the relationship between the four CDs
Zaireeka is viewed by the band as nothing more than an experimental release. "It was, and still is, intended to be listened to by other artists, musicians and producers," Coyne would later state in the liner notes for The Soft Bulletin 5.1, adding that they "never expected the less involved members of our audience to care about it."
