I found that review/interview of the 2 channel surround sound i was

The first copy i saw didn't have the 2nd page. In it it's explained that
you'd need speakers behind you to hear things behind you.

They speak of proximity, of things moving closer and further away from
your face. Can ambisonics do that as well?

classical ambisonics doesn't really do that. on good recordings, you will get a very nice sense of distance, but that is due to distance cues which are more or less independent of ambisonics (any good recording method can do it). what you definitely won't get (with any order less than "ridiculously high") are sources closer than the ring of speakers.
