I had to re-read that page twice to understand where they stated it was multi-channel too. It is not. Apparently, it will be using Q-Sound.
Hmm. I'm really not familiar with this record at all as I lost track of solo Roger - didn't care for The Wall (which I think of as a solo album basically) Pro's and Con's etc so basically stopped listening. But now a multichannel release gets my attention and I guess I'll have to borrow a friend's copy a give it a few spins to see if I may want the SACD.
Being multi-channel you'd think they would want $35 for it like WYWH. Good deal.

If you don't like "The Wall" or "The Final Cut" chances are you wont like Amused to Death. Personally I think it's a superb album, but I particularly liked Waters influence on Floyd.
That looks exactly like mine shame the tracks from the 12" were not added

Just preordered from Amazon. 32 usd, including shipping cost to Spain. Much cheaper than acoustic sounds.
According to the info posted, it was James Guthrie who convinced Roger to let him do the multichannel mix. That, together with the support from Chad Kassem, gives me some hope for other releases in 5.1 (the wall, hopefully Animals...)
ATD is a very good album, specially the last songs which could have perfectly been part of a Pink Floyd album. For those who have not heard it, Jeff Beck's guitar work stands out and only for that it's worthy a listen.
Pros and Cons would also be nice in surround, by the way...

I may be one of only a handful that like The Final Cut more than The Wall.
I was thinking of getting this one, even if it was just stereo. The confirmation of a 5.1 mix tipped the scale. Ordered from Amazon.
US or UK, Mike? I can't find the pre-order. Do you have a link to the Amazon pre-order please?
Not Mike, but I can help.

Thank you for your help
I've pre-ordered from the US link as the UK one doesn't seem to be active at the mo (just says "Currently Unavailable".).
Thanks for no one's help on figuring if this is a true multi-channel disc offering and not just Q-Sound upconvert. I'll have to assume that someone has read somewhere else that it is other than what I read on the Acoustic Sounds Website.
I guess Im a little confused too. There is this link from Acoustic Sounds saying it will be a true 5.1 mix

But I don't see where the Amazon items are 5.1. Are there two releases, both SACD, one stereo Q-sound... the other 5.1? Can someone clarify? I wonder if Guthrie will try to combine the Q sound and the 5.1.... with all the effects on this album, it could be a mind blower.
For my 2 cents to those unfamiliar with solo floyd .... if you like the Gilmour created musical part of Pink Floyd, get a good copy of The Division Bell. If you like the Waters created lyrical parts of the Floyd boys get, Amused to Death. Unfortunately we cant get them combined anymore. They SHOULD try the Elton John/Bernie Taupin method where Waters would send lyrics to Gilmour to set to music. They wouldn't have to even meet in a studio, and I'm sure it would make a fortune for them
