What am I hearing

On a very select few of my recordings in my collection I hear this "Mind Trickory"as I would call it..If I could describe what I'm hearing is a "SUPER" holographic image.It's like they took certain instruments from the recording and recorded them out of phase.These "Super Images"as I would also call them are very pleasing to the ears..It really plays tricks with my ears.Some of the recordings that do this are-Roger Waters"amused to death"(perticularly the dog barking in the first track and the old man being interviewed)- Grover Whasington jr."winelight"(certain parts)-Blood Sweat & Tears.(certain parts)-Willie & loobo"fantago nights"-Norman Brown"After the storm"..etc.At certain parts of these CD's it almost sounds like you have headphones on.Whould anybody else know what other CD's give you this sound.

Thanks

I remember that Roger Waters CD sounding excellent, but on the whole QSound is a bit gimmicky for my tastes and occasionally sounds flat-out wrong to my ears (see Madonna's "Immaculate Collection").

On earlier (pre-90's) Roger Waters tracks you're probably hearing holophonic imaging, which is a variation on binaural recording.
