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

This CD is stunning, I sit 6-7 feet from my Audiophile Speakers ( MTS Preludes )
Track 1 The sounds of a Dog barking comes forward along the right wall about where I'm sitting 6-7 feet forward,( ear height) on my left the same miraculus sound of the radio conversation, and so on, CD. Incredible soundstage, GREAT CD. If you know of any other Audiophile Cd that has this special sound effects, could you please post them along with its label and cd number.
Roger Waters Columbia Sony 468761 2

Thank you
Peter

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,
