I've always been a fan of surround movies, especially action or sci-fi, but when it came to music, I thought that if it was originally released in stereo, then what's the point in making it a 'surround mix'? I didn't truly understand that they could go back to the individual tracks and arrange them discretely anywhere around the soundstage that they chose. The first true surround experience for me, when I realized what could be done with surround mixing for studio music, was Steely Dan: Gaucho.
When I first heard the discreteness of the percussion, horns, and harmony parts in the separate rears, and the lead vocals from the center and main instruments more from the left and right speakers, I finally understood what was happening and it absolutely floored me, the sudden understanding of what is possible aurally, all around me.
What's your cherry-poppin' surround story?
