Just watched a documentary called Fearless Freaks, which was based on the alternative band The Flaming Lips. Not only did it flesh out the band and its music for me, I also got intrigued by an album they did called Zaireeka, which consists of 4 CDs to be played simultaneously on 4 different sound systems.
From what I've read, fans have tried different ways to play this album:
a) Rip the music to mp3s, and start 4 media players on a computer system, each playing an individual CD one second ahead of the next, or
b) Rip the music to mp3s, and "meltdown" four CDs of tunes into one
I'm the type of person more in favour of experimenting (ie. method a), but still I think it'll be much more interesting to actually play this in different rooms and run round between them, just like the Flaming Lips did.

Oooh, Flaming Lips contributed vocals to the first track of Thievery Corporation's last LP - The Cosmic Game.
