I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. I do like "Gantz_Graf" and the
accompanying visuals quite a bit, but also think they did sort of drop the
ball by not including the original (superior) "Second Bad Vilbel," by not
exploiting the 5.1 sound for "Gantz_Graf," etc.
Speaking of which and changing the subject, does anyone know who actually
_is_ doing something with 5.1 sound? I know Hawtin did some sort of
proof-of-concept CD thing at the Miami conference a few years ago (it's now
unavailable, see
http://www.m-nus.com/flash/) and I've seen a DVD from the
Sly & Robbie / Howie B collaboration that was mixed in surround, but who
else is (if anyone) actually writing stuff in 5.1?
The Orb always seemed like a no-brainer to me (they've always gotten so much
mileage out of panning, I can't imagine they wouldn't leap at the
opportunity to "paint the room" in surround), but that's probably just
wishful thinking on my part...
