It's probably because that wasn't what was asked for.

Roger Waters' "Amused to Death" has the most enveloping 2-ch sound I've heard. A well-set up system/room will image fully 90 degrees to your left and right, well beyond the speakers, as long as you're precisely in the sweet spot. Huge fan of his solo work, so I can easily just melt into this one.

What a quality recording, I use this for one of my demos. I also use Janis Ian Breaking Silence, I listened to that on Sonus Farber Stradivarius powered by 600 Watt Krell Mono Blocks and it was mind blowing. And for movies I like Heros with Jet Lee, the Blue Room Scene I think it's #7.
