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

Spaz,

Debbie Gibson's "Only in My Dreams" in 12" vinyl is a great record for that effect where the music goes around behind you and way out to the sides. Near the end, the percussive sounds circum-navigate the room (counter-clockwise if I recall correctly.

I also own a Vinx CD, "Rooms in my Fatha's House," that has some of this effect on certain tracks. It's uniquely good music in my opinion. The artist Vinx is one of a kind.

If you like Madonna, her "Immaculate Collection" CD has great quasi-surround effects on a few of the songs. "Vogue" is probably the best engineered of those tracks, though there is another cool track near the end that has a thunder storm going on behind you.

Check it out, and thanks for listing your quasi-surround (SuperImage) recordings. It's intriguing how these effects can emerge from just two stereo speakers!
