An Experiment

[Chris Yoder <allegra!scgvaxd!engvax!CHRIS>]

     I realize that this is *totally* off the subject, but it was such a neat
discovery that I'd share it with all you lovers of that ill-defined genre of
music called art rock.  Only Pink Floyd fans need read on, the rest of you can
skip this. 

     The setup:

1)   Find someone who hasn't listened very closely to the CD version of The Wall
(it could be you) but who is (relatively) familiar with the album.

2)   Find a copy of The Wall on album and CD with the appropriate equipment to
play it on.

     The experiment:

1)   Have the subject listen very closely to the last song on side 4 and then
the first song on side 1 using the album.

2)   Do the same thing with the CD.

     I was so blown away by what I heard on the CD that I just couldn't control
myself.  I'm interested in what you hear, and what medium you hear it on first.
BTW: I have a very mid-fi system, please include what type of system you have if
you tell me what results you find.  Course, The Wall is undeniably my favorite
album (I like the Kate Bush that I've heard, but it just doesn't move me as
totally The Wall) so I know it quite well.  I do notice that the CD version
allows me to hear the backround voices quite well (you can hear the P.A. in the
airport!). 

     Raving off...  Good listening!  (I have to go hunting for a decent record
store, at least now they're starting to stock KB *records* at Wherehouse.  Maybe
they'll see the light and bring in her CD's.)
