3D Hoax A Hoot

Yesterday's April 1st tomfoolery on Radio 4's flagship news programme about Simon Heyworth and Robert Fripp conducting experiments into 3D radio gets a few mentions here and there. The Guardian described Simon and Robert as "the Tubular Bells sound engineers" and praised (if that's the right term) the item for its "plausible dullness". Elsewhere, STV mentioned it in dispatches, and Prefix ran a piece about what it describes as "The BBC, as usual, rides to the rescue, putting their own elegant touch on a douchey American tradition."
