Earlier on there were some comments here about Quad Mixes appearing on Multichannel SACDs.
Amazingly, one of the clearest sounding Multichannel SACDs of all is Virgin's Multichannel SACD of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells."
This is a hybrid SACD so it features a Conventional CD Stereo mix, an SACD Stereo mix and an SACD Multichannel mix.
The SACD Multichannel mix is the star here. Taken from the original analog discrete quad studio master tape, Tubular Bells on SACD offers surprising clarity, discrete sound localization and surround effects.
The disc also has new liner notes that describe how the original quad version came to be. And the story how Tubular Bells became the first pop/rock Multichannel SACD to be released.
Highly recommended !
