I've never heard binaural recordings. Are there any good sources for such recordings? Any recommended recordings in particular?

Thanks

Try to buy THE MIST!, by Stephen King on CD, you should be able to order it from most on-line book stores.

Heres a good place to find all kinds of binaural links:

There are quite a few binaural sound clips on the net you can download and listen to. I happen to own some binaural microphones and have done a little recording on DAT with them. The ability of binaural to capture reality is astonishing. Binaural recording as a 'business' is limited and probably doomed, but, the lessons learned from binaural are helpfull to sound processing scientists.

I just got a good one. "Disciplines" by the Vattel Cherry Trio(s).
Cherry is a Free bass player. Great stuff, and more than once the binaural recording made me turn my head or jumped up because someone made a noise on the soundstage.
Available from CD Baby and drimala.

I need to look into these myself, and I appreciate the recommendations.

www.binaural.com has not been in condition to ship anything for about a year, and one wonders whether they really exist. Has anyone actually received any product from them recently?

I have tried and don't recommend two discs (mentioned favorably on binaural.com) by Newport Classics with the Pasadena Symphony conducted by Jorge Mester. There's the Saint-Saens 3rd symphony and Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" on these, but the recording is not set up for much ambient sound. They hung the mike above and just a little behind the conductor with the result that there still is no perceptible distance between listener and orchestra. These recordings must have been designed for speakers--if they were sensibly designed for anything whatever.
