An awful lot of audio and video technology that exists today as 'new'
has, as you say, been around for a lifetime.
One of the first films to use multichannel was Disney's Fantasia and Binaural recording was discovered by Alan Blumlein, who is also well known for developing modern day radar as we know it. All invented long ago before the shit we see in Curry's shop floor.
