 Flaming Lips

| What is the name of the Flaming Lips song that required a warning to be placed on the album it was released on? | The Flaming Lips Unzipped

How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos). It had nothing to do with the lyrical content of the song- instead, it was the actual sound which necessitated the waring. This song uses high and low frequencies played at the same time which can cause a person to become dizzy, disoriented, and sometimes sick. The album has a warning on it describing what may happen when listening to this song.
Tape decks of 50 or so cars each playing different sounds at the same time. Wayne would synchronize the tape decks of 50 or so cars in underground parking garages so that they would all play different noises or sounds and create a symphony of sound. These experiments were held circa 1996-1997. This led Wayne to develop more experiments with multiple sources, and the eventual four discs at the same time as the album "Zaireeka".
Dave Fridmann. Dave is a producer of some regard in the avant-garde rock comunity. He has worked with such bands as the Lips and Mercury Rev.
