It's not panning. Why does everyone keep saying that?
?
Go play with your panning knob and try to make a sound move from front to back. The dual-microphone setups a few of you mentioned is called "binaural" recording, and is not the same as holophonic.
They figured out how our brain determines the position of sound using the ear and they can replicate this by generating a reference wave when recording these examples.
"Holophonic Sound is produced by recording the interference pattern generated when the original recorded signal is combined with an inaudible digital reference signal. "
By recording both the the noise and it's reference signal, the wave recorded by the microphone is more like what our ears would be hearing if it were actually happening around our head.
They've had people correctly trace the paths of an airplanes flying over head by listening to holophonic recordings of the planes. That wouldn't be possible by simply panning the sound of an airplane engine.

i wonder if you could find any of the wav's or mp3's in limewire or slsk or something? 400+ bucks is a little too pricey for me ;)
(even though it is extremely damn cool)

I had a website bookmarked a few years ago. It had maybe 6-10 wav files. Now I can't find it.
The best one was scissors cutting your hair!

Its pretty easy to record like this, you need 2 of those lapel microphones and a stereo recorder. Put 1 microphone in each ear (facing out...duh) and record away.
