Roger Waters Amused to Death in 5.1?

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
To me Roger Waters became and was Pink Floyd. I stopped purchasing their records after Waters left. I'm not saying Gilmore's not an artist in his own right.
Sorry I can't help you
I'm trying to find some definitive on this too but to no avail.. I can just cancel the SACD if it turns out to be upmixed as I have the Q Sound CD already which I rather like.. on second thoughts, the sonic upgrade may just be worth it
Heck, I'd settle for the last SACD release which I never was able to get at a decent pricing.
Same here. And I added a pressure cooker part for $10 to get free shipping. And now they're sending out the pressure cooker part immediately with free shipping. Pretty cool.Let's hope it is true multi-channel. I placed my Amazon pre-order.
I don't like to cook under pressure. Bad things can happen.
^ That's what they mean by "Buy Local".
Hi Jeffrey, I just asked the question over at the A Fleeting Glimpse forum. Luna65 over there is very close to James Guthrie, I am sure she will respond. Her earlier replies indicate this is a real 5.1 mix.
Keep you posted.

Final Cut is Snood's fave Pink album.........love the other stuff but this album was big with my friends and I back in the day.
and this is her answer to the question if this is the real deal. Actually Rontoon answered first
after which Luna65 said
Sounds good to me.

TFC was just outstanding...I don't think there is any other album that is comes off so heart-wrenchingly vulnerable..every note, every sound, forever etched in my being
I wonder if they ever plan on surround sounding "The Wall".

Indeed...that would be the top news of the year.

Things move very slowly in Floyd land, so it might take another couple of years.
I don't understand why they continue to release in the SACD format when it is outdated. Three things come to mind.
1) What I understand is at some point, DSD becomes PCM, and then back again to DSD.@:
2) DSD has graduated to a higher level. We now have gone from DSD64 to DSD128 and above in recording and downloads.
3) Most people that listen to a high resolution music format, listen through their home entertainment system in stereo and surround sound. With that in mind, most listen with an AVR or Pre-Pro that has room correction built in. When room correction is used, it takes that DSD signal and converts it to PCM.
This is why we need our music in two ways. The Blu-ray format and PCM Hi-Res downloads.

I should have added to the above that some of the room correction software used reduce the resolution down to 24/48 too because of lack of horsepower to properly implement the higher resolution formats.

Whether you consider it a PF album or a Waters solo album - Criminally underrated ! The subtlety, nuance and raw emotion of this album is unbelievable.
"The Gunner's Dream" & "The Final Cut": The combination of music , sound effects, lyrics & vocals create of aural picture that is simply a piece of art. So much depth.
This release - above all others, including The Wall - screams for surround.
Nearly a perfect album ( "Not Now John" just throws it all off near the end).
If I could commission the 5.1 left to go in the Floyd family, here is my top 5:
1) Final Cut
2) Animals
3) Radio Kaos
4) About Face
5) A Momentary Lapse Of Reason

I'm glad that we see this one in 5.1 so for me every hi-rez format is welcome.
My 5 were:
1) Animals
2) Meddle
3) The wall
4) A saucerful of secrets
5) A momentary lapse of reason
To Final Cut I listened perhaps 3 times.
Imho it is a boring album.
