WTD - 3D Sound like Amused To Death By R Waters

The technology is called Qsound, from a Canadian company specializing in 3D sound effects. For more info and a list of artists click here.

as i recall, The Final Cut also featured this 3-D technique...

Proy, I hope that you have the Gold Columbia Mastersound disc with Sony's Super Bit Mapping! Another great Gold disc is DCC's "The Summit". The late Frank, Dean, and Sammy [last names not needed!] recorded live. Although not 3D like "Amused", it shows what simple 3 microphone field placement (I assume) and using tube equipment can do for spatiality and movement on stage. There are a few very minor glitches on the master tape, but when you consider that this performance was recorded over 40 years ago (jeez, has it REALLY been that long!) and it has a life and airiness seldom heard on many of today's multi-miked, multi-tracked, solid-state digitally remixed "live" recordings, it is truly a wondrous gem!

Peter, if you want to really enjoy ATD, get the vinyl 2 LP set. The CD absolutely pales in comparison.
I think I also have the Sting recorded in Q-Sound as well.
I really laughed when I saw they recorded Wilson Phillips in Q-Sound. What a waste of time! (Apologies to all the audiophile W-P fans) :-)

Still waiting for the Monkey to return,

Egoss, "Amused" on vinyl will cost $100+ used (and who knows how "used") and $200- to $300- new and sealed! Also, it is a two LP set, meaning that you will have to jump up 3 times to hear the music in its entirety. My personal belief is that this album should be listened to uninterrupted for maximum pleasure. Just my opinion...and, according to the old saying, you know what body part opinions are like! The Gold Columbia Mastersound with SBM is far superior to the regular pressed CD.
