Very true. I heard it myself when it first came out, and was suitably impressed.

Although, that's two years ago now ... and a full three since "Yoshimi" first appeared on normal CD. Nothing seems to have happened in the format since then (apart from lots and lots of DVD soundtracks, of course).

Is it, perhaps, the Quadrophonic Sound of the 2000s?

I'm likely to agree with you there. Sadly, it seems that the 5.1 music format was practically stillborn, with a few notable exceptions.

Anyone looking to really hear with the format can do should really check out the DVD-A release of The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots". While the mix may be a bit gimmicky at moments, it really explores what the format can do.

DVD-Audio is yet to be explored in any way, I think. The BBC recently released its first radio show on the format (the first new series of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy") - and if 5.1 can be used for anything it must be (a) ambient music and (b) radio drama (both of which collide with Arthur Dent and his galacic wanderings!)
