I was checking this out on CDNow and it has track listings in "stereo", then another set of the same songs labeled "mono".

Any ideas? Thanks.

And now for something completely different:
The past year I've been listening to a duo called "Thievery Corporation", two former DJs out of Washington D.C. I'm not really sure how you classify their music or the other artist's music on this (independent) label, but I like it. I guess you could call it 21st century lounge/chill-out/funk music. And since it has no easily identifiable "genre" commercial radio stations won't play it. (I first heard it on a now-defunct internet radio station called Luxuriamusic.com that I read about in <u>Rolling Stone</u>). I have four of their albums and my favorite is "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi".
This label also sells a lot of this music on vinyl. The sound quality of the CD's from this label I have are quite good too.
Another of this label's artists is Thunderball. A lot of their music is quite funky(?)--like modernized 70's Shaft-type music I guess. I have their album "Scorpio Rising" and it is excellent. http://www.thunderballdc.com/
Blue States plays some real nice-n-relaxing chill-out stuff. They are my next purchase.
Another group, Ursula 1000, is umm, really far out, but fun to listen to. A lot like the theme music for the movie <i>Austin Powers</i>.
Go here for RealAudio tracks of the above music. (They are full length versions and stream at a pretty decent 32kbps so they sound o.k.): http://eslmusic.com/hifi/hifi.html |
| stereo and mono | tj.

Sometimes the mono mixes are very different from the stereo...some artists paid more attentionto their mono product and left the stereo mix to the engineer so the mono reflects the artist's intent better. |
