    I listened to a ton of music on my walkman in the 80s, but the one thing I listened to that has stuck with me since then was the binaural recording of The Mist. I listened to it late at night during a very intense monsoon. Just amazing.

      I also listened to that very same recording of The Mist, on my walkman. I remember reading in the liner notes they used a “Kunstkopf” (“false head”) system to make it sound like some things were behind you. Holy sweet fuck that was great to listen to. Then a bunch of years later I’m playing Half Life for the first time and when things went to shit all I could think was “oh, Arrowhead Project”
