nabra-sync 4d - listen with ordinary headphones, expect unordinary space. but some of the other recordings also sound very "holophonic".

I love binaural recordings for the awesome positional sound but I wonder if there's any good suggestions for more modern electronica or pop music that uses this technique. I know for example Circ uses a lot of sound effects that seems to wander around your head in their recordings like this one for example (probably not binaural but sounds awesome nonetheless) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6VTqmveBTk
 
Do you know any other suggestions that's similar to above?

That stuff is usually hard to with an actual binaural head. Usually stuff like this is done in post-production using HRTF's.

Honestly, I've always paid the music I've been listening to. Sometimes I use youtube. If I like it I buy it.
 
And I couldn't care less about 5-to-60-second samples or recordings of people going around town with a dummy head. I want music! Songs! Albums! Simphonies! Operas! Concerts!
 
Why don't we open a sticky thread just on... "legally downloadable binaural recordings"?
 
If they exist. Honestly the only binaural recording that impressed me and that I'd really call "binaural" is the one available on HDtracks and promoted in Jude's video on head-fi TV.
It was not the first binaural recording I was going to listen to, at all, but it gave me shivers. While Jude was talking I just thought "who the hell is knocking there???" - And I was wearing 20-$-worth Sony's plugged into the netbook headphone out.
 
Hats off to the mixing engineer!!!
 
I wish they used dummy heads more often...

Yes, it would be nice if there were more binaural musical recordings available. If you find any, even if not free to download, please do let people know about them here. The symphony recordings mentioned in the first post of the thread are no longer free, but I kept the listing because they are so rare to find.
Here is the MSO store: http://download.mso.org/app

The last one is NOT a binaural recording. It's a spaced omni recording.

 I went to that page and then used the "Lossless zip" link on the left side of the page to download the entire Cowboy Junkies concert. The download was 470 MB. I just unzipped it, and now I've got the entire concert in FLAC. I'm listening now (through headphones) and the sound quality is great! Thanks!
