I remember back in the 1970s binaural sound was a buzzword briefly. There were
a number of binaural recordings made but it eventually went the way of 
quadraphonic sound i.e. it disappeared. I think the problem with it was
that you had to wear headphones all the time.
Tangerine Dream are a likely candidate for a binaural recording so it might
be worth digging out some of their old 70s' stuff.(I vaguely remember an LP
cover with one of those polystryrene dummy heads used in shop windows with a
pair of headphones on).
I don't know know the name of the LP since I'm not a fan.
