Rock In 4 Channels by Various is an album that showcases the best of rock music from different eras. The album features tracks from classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, and Pink Floyd, as well as newer acts like Radiohead and The Black Keys. The album's unique selling point is that it is mixed in 4 channels, allowing listeners to experience the music in a way that is different from traditional stereo recordings.
The album opens with Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," which sounds crisp and clear in the 4-channel mix. The guitars, bass, and drums are separated, giving the listener a chance to appreciate each instrument's contribution to the song. The same can be said for other tracks on the album, such as The Who's "Baba O'Riley" and Pink Floyd's "Money."
The album also features some lesser-known tracks, such as "Lay It Down" by Magnolia Electric Co. and "Heartless" by Heart. These tracks are a pleasant surprise and add some variety to the album.
