To chime in, yeah this is a good one - the Critical Path was pretty good,
but Surrounded is a much more mature album that goes in lots of pretty
directions and kind of departs from the washing, bouncy breaks one
associates with Tipper.
I have only got it in stereo because it's rare that I
actually want to sit in one place while listening to the music (ie. sit
dead center in the middle of way too many speakers in one place in my
house.) Actually i don't even have surround sound at home ...
Worth checking out, even if only in meager cheap bastard stereo sound.
I wonder if the "Surrounded" show in LA was super disorienting? I think if
one were tipsy and listening to a huge surround system it could get kind
of ugly ...
