Hi, Jon...
It's more likely to have been the experimental mixes Peter and I created
for the Boots Ambisonic Microsystem. "Another Surprise" and "Surprise,
Surprise" were both made in 1984. There would have been a track
reminiscent of Popcorn, some orchestral tracks and other material;
perhaps some electronica-style tracks from Keith Mansfield's "Contact".
We still have those and again we've done G-Format versions - first from
my reference cassette and later from the master that Mr Malham had at York.
Four speakers would be very likely as that was (is) our standard array
and all our decoders were 4-out only.
I'm glad we made such a good impression!
Best,

You have sparked a memory in the deep recesses of my headŠ
Back in 1983 (might have been early 84) you visited us at the Tonmeister
course at University of Surrey, to talk about ambisonics and surround, and
the sound field mic (which we had at the department ‹ it was my favourite
mic then, and still is today)
You set up a 4 (or maybe more?) speaker horizontal surround array, and
then played some music which I remember you describing as ³production
library music² which you were involved in at the time.
I can still remember the exceptional clarity of the positioning etc. And
then fun you could have moving things around in the horizontal plane.
Maybe it was even this CD that you are referring to?
Ah, memories :-)
Best
Jon
