It was only available with the purchase of certain JVC DVD-Audio players back in the early 2000's.
Yes, I bought a JVC as my 1st dvd-a player. Having that disc was one of the deciding factors.

I have that one also- my JVC came with two sampler dvd a- one I've sold to a member.
I believe I know the answer to this, but to respond to a claim on another forum are there different releases of this for Europe and North America?
Are you comparing;
1.) the new/S.Wilson stereo remix to the new/S.Wilson surround remix?
or
2.) the original 1970's stereo to the new/S.Wilson surround remix?
Hi everyone,
Just to give you some background, I'm a newcomer here, and have recently invested in a surround sound system. However, I'm having issues getting it to playback correctly and have received welcome advice from some members here, which I'm sure will be useful when I get the time to look at it again.
My question is to those of you familiar with this album - Is there a significant difference in musical detail that can be heard in the 5.1 mix versus the stereo mix? I've read through this thread and there seems to be differing opinion on this surround mix. Some describe the surround version as being more or less the same, others seem to say that it is like hearing the album for the first time, with an enormous amount of musical detail revealed and a vast soundscape. I know differences may well have to do with different setups, but I'd like to get everybody's thoughts on this.

I've had the MFSL vinyl for years. Always thought this album was extremely well done considering the level of ambition. I'm sure the 24/192 transfer of the stereo master sounds just that little bit better without the vinyl generation (well done as it was by MFSL) but I honestly haven't listened to it yet with this amazing 5.1 remix here. I'm usually not a fan of remixes in any way shape or form but Mr Steve Wilson is a big exception. Mr. Wilson, your perception is really amazing!
I always knew this music was over the top ambitious but now you can hear every last detail of that. All the individual layered keyboard parts... Little electric sitar parts I hadn't heard before... The orchestration is huge. This mix simply could not be done in stereo - way beyond the confines of 2 channels.However there's another post somewhere in the thread that claims there isn't much difference between the surround mix and the MFSL LP - again I know the quality of the vinyl pressing, turntable setup, and his surround setup etc but the difference in opinion is curious nonetheless.
