Perhaps this has been discussed before and I'm just late to the game......
I must have listened to the multichannel mix on the SACD more than 100 times over the years, but never thought of listening to it one channel at a time until a friend casually suggested it to me recently. This way of listening provides a completely fresh perspective of how the different instrumental and voice tracks are mixed together on each song.
The biggest surprise is, however, Karen's main vocal track on one of the channels. Stripped of most (but not all) of the instruments and backing vocals, I'm hearing things in her vocal delivery I've never heard before. What a revelation!
I know it's not going to happen, but how glorious it would have been if the entire Carpenters catalogue were given the multichannel treatment and Karen's voice tracks could be isolated for enjoyment.
