The Flaming Lips "Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" - Zaireeka

[iSeiranai]

TVTropes: At the end of "Riding Into Work In The Year 2025 (You're Invisible Now)" by Flaming Lips, while the singer is going "Aaahhh..." over and over, someone can be heard saying "Alright... stop."

This track isn't properly synchronized, i did my own Zaireeka Mix by uniting each track from the very start and the result turned to be great. You probably moved a track accidentally while editing.

[PoetsOfElan]

These are meant and mixed to play from alternate sources, and they sound off synch cause there's massive phasing, not to mention clipping. I'm currently working a binaural stereo mix for fun. I'll try to put something up soon, and would love to see what others think. Love your Lips today

[elszanto]

could just mean that the meeting between the future and the past (present) is invisible.

But it's yours!

About 12 years ago I had digitally combined the tracks on these 4 CDs and have been listening to these versions often since then. The combination here sounds different, yet still interesting as the band intended. Thanks for this upload and your others like this!

I'm glad it's only 2011 and my now is still visible.

[pheeeeelip]

Wow, just wanna say thanks a lot to the uploader for putting this online. I don't have 4 stereos and this is a perfect way to still listen to the album. Very conveniently went to the trouble to describe the album, provide a link for more info, then also provide links to the rest of the album. Truly good job, man! It's people like you that make me love the internet!

I'm sorry if I seem strange. I'm really high :/

[Tracebebo]

yeah these don't really sound quite synced up with eachother

[soniclovenoize]

This mix is pretty terrible, sorry. :(

I would suggest dl'ing the "5-in-1 Superior Mix" as it's all four discs (plus the fifth bonus disc) mixed in stereo, but it's not just all the discs playing at once, it's an actual mixdown.

[allensingley]

@pikachupwnsssbb That's the name of the song. I think perhaps the your is possessive on purpose, for some crazy reason that Wayne came up with.

[BlueZuluFoxtrot]

@allensingley Yeah, it's very clever. It can superficially be interpreted as "You are invisible now," but it is actually saying, "Your now, which is invisible." Invisible is modifying "now" rather than "you." I think it relates to the theme of the song, which is despairing personal stress for a secret agent in the future. Bravo, Mr. Coyne.

Invisible is modifying "now" rather than "you." I think it relates to the theme of the song, which is despairing personal stress for the last secret agent in the future. Bravo, Mr. Coyne.

[thecrikster]

@pikachupwnsssbb No its correct. It's like "your potential future". In context, he is referring to a "you" that is in the future that you aren't aware of yet. Hence invisible. Coyne's just playing with words and grammar to freak with your mind.

[nelsogg85]

@pikachupwnsssbb It's not an error, it means that we are never fully capable of grasping and holding onto the present, since it's always moving past us. At least thats my interpretation.

[megadeth773]

@pikachupwnsssbb also it is officialy [sic] at the end which means even though it may not make since it is the true title

[MaurJacobLUV]

@pikachupwnsssbb Or MAYBE it doesn't mean that you is now invisible, but rather that the now that we possess, is in fact invisible. Like the present is invisible, or something... idk. But that grammar error was the very first thing I noticed xP

The 4 Cd's was an experiment. one could play any amount of them at a time. with the songs being structured that delay in timing wouldn't ruin but actually augment the listening. Thus succesfully creating your own one of a kind version of the song.

[gsboss]

is there a point to breaking up the song so you have to play it on 4 cd players? or was it just to be unique? cause if they only did it to be different, they were dumb

[doublefeel]

If you get the chance to actually play the four CDs at the same time you'll see what they were going for. I don't know if their aim was to be unique, but that is exactly what they achieved with this album. Imagine those thundering drums coming from your kitchen, backing vocals from your living room, synths bursting out of your bedroom... It's worth the trouble of getting the four stereos and 3 friends to push the play buttons at the same time in diferent points of the house!

[GoreyOr]

@gsboss They did it so that each time you hear it, you get a different effect, making it all the more interesting. The delay actually augments the music, creating the trippiest of listening experiences, with all the sounds engulfing you, and swirling into a psychedelic haze, like 3D in music. So you can never hear the album the same way more than once. If you think you have experienced "Zaireeka" by listening to these videos on YouTube, then you are being truly deprived.

This is the most artistic thing I've heard since smiley smile.

[willlliw]

[FuriCooly]
