Well, I love it. Had a listen about 4 times now on the DTS-HD MA stream. So in addition to my earlier comments on the first track which is stand out in terms of the use of all the speakers, very adventurous mixing by SW; the second track Clap is a pseudo surround because the masters couldn't be found but anyway it's a live recording of an acoustic guitar track but I get a real sense of being at the concert. Third track, Starship trooper is more front biased but the last section Wurm has some interesting swaps of guitar and organ from front to back. The last track, Perpetual Change goes centre speaker entirely towards the end and then the sound builds to fill all the speakers and there is some nice use of the rears for the backing vocals.
Each instrument is very clear and can be picked out even in the noisy sections. I particularly like the bass playing which is almost like a lead guitar in its presence.
I don't know the album well enough to be an aficionado but it does sound very nice. You won't be disappointed.
