Stereo? Mono? Listen in 3D60

Isn’t it strange that we are listening to Dylan in mono? Of course the sound is gorgeous. But what went wrong with the stereo mix? Why was stereo the last “invention” in sound production? Yes, we had quadraphonic, but it died a premature death. Although Dylan in quad is  treat.
But finally, there is a new innovation: 3D60. It is a new sound production process created to deliver an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience to headphones. A 360 degree surround sound. If you listen to music made in 3D60 (on ordinary headphones) you hear sounds coming from all around; in front, behind, at different heights and even from overhead or below.
3D 60 is developed by Mike Brady, the Jam’s live sound engineer and music video director, musician and multimedia producer Ian Thompson, and music producer Youth. The new CD by Orb (featuring David Gilmour), metallic spheres has been made in 3D60.

This “disclaimer” used to be on the original vinyl records. Never understood it by the way “stereo records can be played”, of course you can play them on mono reproducers. Whether it gives a satisfying sound quality is the real issue. In the light of the reissue of Dylan albums in mono, I really wonder: were we misled all the time? I mean i have Dylan LP’s in mono, stereo and even quadraphonic (desire), CD’s in stereo, remasters, super audio and now mono. And I do agree that the mono mix is great. But why did we buy all the other stuff?
