["pete" Subject: things noticed during a dull week at work... ..listening to Tori with only one headphone in an ear at each time, so I can listen for my phone: - - the "Librarian" version of Cornflake Girl has the piano turned upside down - bass on the right, high notes on the left. Very appropriate! (where'd you put the keys girl?) - anyone noticed this on any other songs? - - the opening lines of CALS have no harpsichord on the left hand side - - Josephine is a completely different song depending which side of your head you listen with (east or west, of course) I love it when musicians make fuller use of stereo. Also, if you just have your headphones' plug not quite in the socket right, so it just makes contact but you aren't getting the stereo signal, it seems to cut out all the central sounds leaving just the ones on far left or right [insert technical explanation please Richard :-) ]. I was listening to Orange Knickers when this happened, and most of the vocals are removed, but the occasional backing vocal leaps out - just listen to the way she sings the "kiss" backing vocal if you can, its really beautiful and now I've heard it in isolation it really stands out when listening normally. Just thought I'd share that with the world! Pete x change, my dear ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V10 #129 **************************************
