well, i drank some gingko (you were clever enough to internalize it , i was
just looking at it until now) and have a few things to tell you:

 it might be a good idea to utilize something like 'fielder' or 'phaseaid'
(both vst plugins) to change the phase of the program material 4 different
ways. the resulting 8 channels could then be routed to an analog mixer and
panned different ways (probably really slight amounts of panning) in order
to create a more phase-coherent presentation or a less phase-coherent
presentation. -probably possible to extract certain tones/instruments and
place them different places within the context of the 8 channel matrix.there
are probably mixers with a phaseknob rather than a reversal swith, the
problem with using that approach directly from the CD is that one is
conceivably changing the phase of  2 channels the same amount relative to
the dry signal rather than altering the phase within the stereo field first.
