I rest my case.

I might be confusing the Isao Tomita albums. Isn't the (original quad version of) Bermuda Triangle the one that offered some hidden encoded audio effects that could only be decoded using some very expensive gear or was that a different Tomita quad album?

Pyramid Sound

This album is different from my others in that the master was recorded onto five tracks. Ideally, it should be heard through five speakers, four in the conventional rectangle and the fifth suspended above the center - thus a sonic pyramid. Although it is impossible to encode this onto a phonograph record, as much as possible of the five-channel effect has been incorporated into standard discs through the help of the engineering staff of Japan Victor.

Another fine SACD. Every Tomita is a refined voyage. I cast a 9.

That is interesting! I wonder if DV had access to that fifth track of the masters.
