"Manfred Manns`s Earth Band - Solar Fire"
Most time i listen to music with headphones (in the train on my way to work and back).
I prefer rock, and there are many albums i can see no reason for a remix in surround, stuff like AC/DC is well done in stereo.
Prog-Rock and Art-Rock bands are better suitable for some channels more, the releases from the last years have proven this.
"Solar Fire" is one of the proggiest albums from Manfred Mann, there are even some Pink Floyd related sounds on it.
It`s on top of my wishlist for MC because I have such an exact imagination how this album should sound in surround:
For example:"Bass guitar and drums on front, keyboards on rear, the barking dog alternately from different speakers...", and so on.
Something like this are my thoughts during the listening time and i even hear the final mix in my head !
I have not got this imagination with others albums i would like to have mixed to surround:
Radioheads "OK Computer" would also fit well for 5.1, but i couldn`t say where to place which instrument.
