%X In order to discuss analytically spatial aspects of recorded sound William Moylan¡¯s concept of ¡®sound stage¡¯ is developed within a musicological framework as part of a sound paradigm which includes timbre, texture and sound stage. Two Michael Jackson songs (¡®The Lady in My Life¡¯ from 1982 and ¡®Scream¡¯ from 1995) are used to: a) demonstrate the value of such a conceptualisation, and b) demonstrate that the model has its limits, as record producers in the 1990s began ignoring the conventions of stereo recording¡¯s illusion of three dimensions and reached for a severing of the intimate relations between sound and Euclidic space.
