Yep bits of it were recorded binaurally by Tchad Blake.

'Several tracks on the album were recorded using binaural recording techniques, hence the title. These can usually be identified by a warm sound to the music, such as the acoustic "Of The Girl."' Wikipedia

I don't think that desciption of the 'warm sound' is that great but there is a nice recording of a dog snarling on the start of one tune and it certainly gets your attention

Well dummy heads have some advantages, especially for static perspectives and long takes.

I have done a number of professional binaural recordings of music and music/environments using in-ear live head recording.

Here the concept is different, I am trying to convey the sense of having access to an individual witness of an event through a real person's ears, rather than an electro mechanical recording.

From Silence CD is binaural.

Geoff Downes - The Bridge, track 1 stereo, the rest binaural.

All the above were recorded binaurally by Dallas Simpson.

headphones essential - Enjoy!

Yes, the box of matches is probably the creepiest recording I've listened to. It literally gave me chills down my spine and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up. It works better if you close your eyes. I remember getting my mom to listen to that recording and she got so creeped out she almost threw my headphones off her head. I'm glad she didn't though as it would have cost me a bit of money to replace them if they broke.

Definitely recommend listening to that mp3. It is great.

Lou Reed's "Street Hassle" is said to be the World's first commercially released pop album recorded in fully in binaural FWIW

It's not binaural per se but pretty close; however, the sound you get will nevertheless blow you away. It's the most relaxing stuff I've ever heard.
 


You can see on the pic how they recorded it. So it's not a dummy head but the end result is kinda similar...

This is a pretty cool demo compliments of the BBC. It takes a while to get to the 'meat' of the binaural stuff, but if you fast-forward to the 4:50 mark and put on your headphones, you'll probably find it pretty cool:

The head shown in the piece is the Neumann KU 100, the same used by me (immersifi) for my binaural stuff (a lot of which is referenced in my posts).
 
There's a lot more going on with the binaural content in the piece though as people are adapting it to VR to be head position-dependent. Anyway, I know this is late in the thread, but I just saw the post elsewhere, had a listen to the piece (headphones on of course) and felt like people might enjoy it.
 
In other words, if you want a stable image (i.e. for listening to a concert etc and you don't want the sound to change as you move your head) then you just use binaural. If however you want to make a sort of virtual binaural head that turns as your head does, then you need to modify the signal (though some pretty painstaking math...at least...getting the data can be painstaking) by convolving it with the various BRIRs (binaural room impulse responses) in real time.
 
Cool stuff.

LOL  "Are you weirded out yet?"   Nice demo, thanks!

Red virgin soil by Agnes Obel, shure sound like binaural.. (o: and spooky

I've amazed how my virtual plug n' play DR-05 and Roland set up gives me live recording that sound better than a lot of jazz CDs I've heard.
