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

Q-sound is a great effect, and Roger Water's "Amused to Death" is an awesome example (and album), particularly when the speakers are set-up properly and you are sitting dead centre. I have windows on the right side of the room and, when I play the opening track from "Amused to Death", everyone, and I mean everyone, who I've played it for thinks the dog's bark is coming from my neighbour's yard outside and past my window. But, as I've said, the speakers have to be set-up properly and you have to be sitting pretty much dead centre. The album has a lot of great examples of Q-sound, particularly the TV/radio throughout the album and the piano in the first couple of minutes of Track 3. Definitely one of my favourite sounding, and generally favourite, album.
