Tallis' MOTET FOR 40 VOICES. It was written for eight groups of five singers, possibly surrounding the listeners. Perfect for surround?

Long live two channel stereo!

PUT THE SIDE CHANNEL SPEAKERS AND REAR SPEAKERS IN THE DOG HOUSE BECAUSE THAT IS WERE MY WIFE WILL PUT ME IF I INSTALL ALL THOSE SPEAKER IN OUR FAMILY ROOM.

Beatles Magical Mystery TOUR. iT SOUND GREAT IN PRO LOGIC. dts SURROUND ON i'M THE WALRUS WOULD BE AWSOME

Give me the purity of 2 channel sound. It's a glorious experience. Just because there is a new format (multi-channel) that's available,it is not necessarily better or for the good of the industry.

I don't mind sound shooting at me from all directions during a movie, but have no interest in sitting in the middle of an orchestra or jazz combo during a concert or gig. Anyway, my favorite classical music is chamber music, which seems REALLY unsuited to being played from all around you.

I've bought a Sony SACD 940. I also have an Audion 300B. Awesome combination! I'm dreaming in a treedimensional picture! Why do I need surround?

Toy Matinee . . . Whoops, this overlooked gem of modern rock is already one of the pieces scheduled to be released! I can hardly wait!

Kansas' POINT OF NO RETURN.

It is a stupid idea!

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

Some electronic musical disks, along with the expected classical and jazz. Highlights: Aphex Twin, Autechre, Plastikman.

I would like to see what modern artists such as Nine Inch Nails, U2, and, especially, Radiohead can do with these new audio formats. Perhaps they can do for multi-channel what the Beatles did for two channel(one can hope anyway).

Spice Girls!!! Can you imagine five British girls coming from five speakers? Ginger, Posh, Sporty, Scary, and Baby surrounding you . . . too cool.

Pink Floyd's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, I still have the original SQ version and would love to hear it in Multi-Channel SACD.

What piece of music do I think is suited to multichannel? Does what I, or we, think make any difference? I'm sure that the folks in control of such decisions will see to it that there will be CD bins full of Molly Hatchet and BTO crap and that any real artist will continue to be overlooked. I'll be buying music based on my tastes and not on a new release of Peter Frampton Live in DTS or any other multichannel surround format. Let's hope that guys like Joe Harley make a push for the audiophile/real music-lover.

Anything that was RECORDED in five or six channels should be released in five or six channels. Anything recorded in two channels (99.99% of music worth listening to) should be reproduced in two channels.

Surround is great for films, but audio engineers tend to make cartoony sounding recordings now. I don't want to hear singers behind me, just ambience. Since they won't do that, I'll stick to two properly imaging loudpeakers.

A few of the first albums by Jean Michel Jarre, such as OXYGENE or MAGNETIC FIELDS. They sound great in stereo, but possibly could sound awsome in good surround.

Pink Floyd, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. But beyond that, I'm not sure I'd bother.

I hate the idea of surround. Two channel audio is expensive enough without having to worry about five! Sounds like another marketing gimmick to get people to move into home theater and to have more people in the home theater crowd accept the new formats. Use the space on the disc for a high quality 24-bit/192kHz two-channel audio signal and throw the rest of the channels away. Let the consumer actually have a real digital out (24/96 or 24/192) instead of the downsampled 16/44.1.

I only have two ears (stereo), and have never attended a live music event where any of the performers were playing behind me.

I am not buying DARK SIDE OF THE MOON one more time!

Obviously, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON by Pink Floyd.

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

PINK FLOYD!!!!!

Alan Parsons I ROBOT.

We had surround in the 1970s. It was called quadraphonic and it sucked.

4'33" No. 2 by John Cage.

what is in those other channels? if it's a concerts do you want to hear the idle chatter of the anoying couple behind you i don't get it, it't just silly.
