First, all of the recordings on the Ultrasone Demo CD are binaural. Consequently, you will most likely hear a "3D" effect no matter which headphones you listen with. Here is the answer to your question, having gone through the tracks on the CD rather quickly (there could be more):
Track #.....Title....................................... ....What?
4.............Ave Verum Corpus..........................Some Voices in front
5.............Rondo Allegro.................................Piano in front and to sides
9.............Adante Cargheto............................Violas in front and to sides
13...........Vogel La Palma...............................Some birds chirping in front
18...........Grille............................... ..............Cricket in front
19...........Herscher Des Kimmels.......................Voices & some horns in front
20...........Brandung............................. .......... Part of wave & wind in front
If you want to hear a surround, "3D" effect (periphonic) effect where a sound position is in front, from a "regular" stereo (not binaural) recording, listen to a recording by a vocalist with an orchestra or band. Frank Sinatra's recordings from the late 1950's and 1960's are a very good example of this. Usually, in his stereo recordings (keep in mind that his older recordings were recorded before the advent of stereo), his voice was positioned in the center. Usually, but not always, his voice, when listening with the Pro 750's, will sound as though it is sometimes right in front of my face and in other recordings a little more distant from the front of my face. The various instruments of the band or orchestra will usually be heard on all sides of my head (including horns and strings behind my head, lower frequencies of bass below my head, with reverberation from the instruments and his voice above my head). When listening to these same recordings with headphones that are not Ultrasones, his voice will sound as though it is inside the center of my head and the various instruments of the band will sound as though they are playing inside my head to the right and to the left only.
This is the way I hear these recordings. It is possible that you may not hear them the same way.
Edit: I listened to one of my Sinatra CD's called
"SINATRA'S SWINGIN' SESSION AND MORE" just to check, and as only one example, the tracks on this particular CD are as I previously described. Also, it is a generally fun recording to hear.
