PEARL JAM 2000

On May 16, 2000, Pearl Jam released their sixth studio album, Binaural. The album featured drummer Matt Cameron's recording debut with the band. The album's title is a reference to the binaural recording techniques that were utilized on several tracks. Binaural included the singles "Nothing As It Seems" and "Light Years". Binaural would end up selling just over 700,000 copies and became the first Pearl Jam studio album to fail to reach platinum status. The cover image for this album is a Hubble Space Telescope photo of the Hourglass Nebula.

Once recorded, the binaural effect can be reproduced only using headphones. It does not work with mono playback; nor does it work while using loudspeaker units, as the acoustics of this arrangement distort the channel separation via natural crossfeed (an approximation can be obtained if the listening environment is carefully designed by employing expensive crossfeed cancellation equipment.)
