This thread hasn't seen a lot of action recently, so I thought I'd add a few lp's that in my opinion decode very quadlike through a Tate II.
Jethro Tull - Benefit
Spirit - The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On
Nektar - Journey To The Center Of The Eye
Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord
Blue Cheer - Outside Inside
Grateful Dead - Anthem Of The Sun
Psychedelic Furs - Book Of Days
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis Bold As Love
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxter's
Big Brother And The Holding Co - Cheap Thrills
Monster Magnet - Powertrip
Julian Cope - St. Julian
Procol Harum - A Salty Dog

Oh hell, I forgot to put some up myself for a while.
The following decode well through SQ logic (or I think they do)
Paula Cole- This Fire
Peter Gabriel -Secret World Live (yup, got into Paula on seeing / hearing her on this CD)
Rick Wakeman- Chronicles of Man
Andreas Vollenweider- Book of Roses
Andreas Vollenweider- White Winds
Andreas Vollenweider- Dancing With the Lion
Robert Plant & the Strange Sensation- Dreamland
Rory Gallagher- Wheels within Wheels (2nd half of album)
John Cooper Clarke- Best Of (providing you like grim poetry to music)

Oh, the Vollenweider ones -nearly forgot. The reason they decode well is because they were encoded in doby surround.

All work well through a decent logic SQ decoder -haven't tried them through variomatrix, CS or a Tate, but I'd like to....
 
Okay, here are a few more stereo titles that play quite well through a quad decoder:

Fortran 5 - Bad Head Park (Tate II, surround mode)
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief (Tate II, surround mode)
Soundgarden - A-Sides (QSD-1, surround mode)
 
Another batch o' CD's that sound good in synthesized quad:

Black Lab - Your Body Above Me (Tate II Surround Mode)
Crystal Method - Vegas (Tate II Surround Mode)
Freestylers - We Rock Hard (Tate II Surround Mode)
Prodigy - The Fat of the Land (Tate II Surround Mode)
 
I just listened to The Clash - Sandanista through my Tate in surround mode. The results were quite good.

Robert Fripp - Radiophonics: 1995 Soundscapes Volume 1 - Live In Argentina

See especially Radiophonic II... what were once impressive (if not severe and often unsettling) stereo effects are, through the wonders of Vario-matrix technology, impressive (if not severe and often unsettling) quad effects. Highly recommended.
 
May I gently suggest that all those Yes fans out there sample the delights of Keys to Ascension Volume 1 and 2 -the live tracks work especially well through SQ logic or even simple passive setups.
 
Just pick up the new Monster Magnet special edition US release of Monolithic Baby which is a CD plus bonus DVD. The CD decodes beautifully through my Tate in SQ mode, very discrete separation of the instuments, and effects such as an intro that starts in the front speakers that is followed by the rears kicking in for emphasis, or a guitar in the left front channel followed by a bass in the right front, sound effects coming from the rears.

There are some serious high points on this recording, the title track Monolithic Baby is intense, there's a cover of a Robert Calvert (Hawkwind) song, The Right Stuff, that is 100 mph full throttle rock, and The CNN War Song which is like Dead Can Dance meets Led Zepplin's Kashmir. This is a super record from beginning to end, if you like loud electric Rock you can't miss.

The DVD contains 2 videos which will never see MTV (too explicit and/or radical), 2 live bootleg concert performances, and an interview. It is stereo only, but plays well through the Tate. The video for Hotel Baby/Unbroken has a bunch of scantily clad and half naked girls in it, lead singer Dave Wyndorf explained that if he had to make a video, he felt he should give the fans something they wanted to see. :alienrob:
 
Thanks for the review, Sandy! I gotta check this one out, and try running "Dopes to Infinity" (still my fave MM CD) thru my Tate. I think these guys are perfect candidates for multichannel!
 
It has been a while since I've stumbled upon a stereo title that resulted in pleasing synthesized quad. I dunno, maybe I'm getting picky in my old age. In any event, the band is Thievery Corporation and the CD is "Outernational Sound".

Wow, this CD is awesome! Thievery Corporation provides a virtual melting pot of music from all over the world and layers it on an irresistible beat that carries you blissfully through the entire CD. I've listened to this thing all the way through three times now and there is not a single dud moment. This is my current favorite CD, period.

The icing on the cake is that it sounds spectacular through a DPLII decoder. I'm sure it sounds equally fabulous through any quad decoder, though. This one is definitely worth checking out!
