I like the back 1/2, but agree it loses cohesion. Barry Williams is fun and Signal to Noise is so bizarre that I admire it for the experimentation.
C'mon you like the front half just as much!

Signify in surround?? Also Marillion? What did I miss?I keep going back to my Marillion discs hoping that I can tweak my system into making these discs sound good. Not to be.
Otherwise:
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun & Signify (I like that era best).
Roxy Music - Avalon
Pink Floyd - All of them!
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (DVDA)
Van - Moondance

Hey Jon;
Agree with your analysis; 3 additional thoughts
My original "bootleg" copy of DSOTM, is still my go to demo disc
The reps from Goldmund, the super high end Hardware firm, flipped when they heard it
Never ceases to amaze me, the look on people's faces when they hear Money, & Us & Them
The DTS version of "Gaucho" may be better than the DVD/A; IMHO
Also, the Staples Singers singing "The Weight" on The Last Waltz, DVD/A, is surreal
In my Acura, it sounds like they're in the car
I am wondering about the DSOTM - what is the story about it? If it's OK to talk about a real thing. I was told it was from the vaults of Alan Parsons. But he only did a Quad Mix 4.0 - Right? So who made it into a perfect 5.1 disc? "Allaround Surround"?
I thought the DVDA bootleg Alan Parsons DSOTM was 4.0
5.1 came later from someone upmixing the 4.0
When people speak of the bootleg being demo goto I always assume they are referring to the 4.0, not the 5.1
At least that's how I understand it.
Isn't the 4.0 bootleg on the Immersion DSOTM Blu-ray anyway?
But why are you referring the original Parsons's quad mix on the Immersion set as "bootleg" when it is far from it.

I have one of the first AP 4.0 DVDA's released online (both 2.3 GB and 4.2 GB versions) and it sounds so good that I can only assume that it is basically an Original Master Quad Tape (or 1st gen like you mentioned) --> DVDA done by Parsons himself.
