This works awesome with headphones. I was wearing headphones and listening to it I thought it was coming out of my speakers behind me because its so real I had to take them off to double check. Its not anything that scares you either so turn it up loud.

I wonder if you'd halucinate the images from the sounds if you were stoned?!?!?

On a related matter, the sound effects on "All we ever look for" by Kate Bush gain a whole new dimension (ie. fore and aft) when played over a Hafler surround setup.

It sure does - in fact it was the 2nd album ever to use this technique (I have no idea what the first was!). As above, you get the best out of it through headphones.

It's prevalent throughout the album, but the rocket in 'Get your filthy hands off my dessert' is pretty cool!

yeah.. Lots of people walking about, shouting stuff. The rocket does seem to go from left and slightly above, to the right... and off into oblivion!
