  I have heard the Madonna CD on a pretty good hi-fi. I was pretty sceptical
about how effective it might be. It's a nice surprise! The rumbles at the 
start of "rescue me" are very effective, and the initial "What you looking
at" in Vogue goes all over the place. The general ambiance generated is
quite definitely larger than on other recordings. Much of the processing has
been applied to the quieter percussion sounds- you keep hearing sounds
coming from above you, in particular. Very odd. 
  Oh, and of course, since it relies on the phase relationships between
channels, it doesn't work through headphones!
