Listening now to the 2019 SW remix of Tangerine Dream-Ricochet, 5.1 Blu Ray DTS-HD MSTR 24/96.
I would never know this was a live recording except for audience in beginning. These Tangerine Dream discs can go volume low or higher. They do create a certain ambience at differnt listening levels. This one I am listening to at 50db which is just right as there is good drum sounds.

Sounding better than ever via Universal/Rocket's Greg Penny 5.1 remix. And Universal, what are you saving the unreleased Elton 5.1 remixes for: Elton's 100th birthday?

Stunning.

BS&T - Mirror Image
I don't think this album is particularly well-regarded in the BS&T canon (almost the entire classic line-up had left before it was recorded), but I think it's a real hidden gem in the CBS quad catalog.
Stylistically, it's incredibly diverse. You definitely won't find "Spinning Wheel" or "Go Down Gamblin'" here. It starts off with an almost disco/soul-type number ("Tell Me That I'm Wrong"), and most of side two is fusion-y instrumental prog weirdness (the epic multi-part "Mirror Image" suite). New vocalists Jerry LaCroix (previously featured on Edgar Winter's White Trash) and Jerry Fisher sound nothing like David Clayton-Thomas or even Al Kooper, but they're solid in their own right and there's some great interplay between them.
The quad mix is fantastic! The layout of the instruments is very similar to the Chicago quads: stereo drums, bass guitar, and vocals across the fronts, with different horn parts, backing vocals, synthesizers, and percussion isolated in the rear speakers. I'd also say it's quite a bit better than the BS&T self-titled album and greatest hits quad mixes, which in discrete form sound almost as if the four discrete channels were somehow blended together by accident.
I've said it before, but I think this title paired with the following album New City (which also has an excellent quad mix, and features David Clayton-Thomas back on vocals) would make a killer D-V two-fer. But until that happens, both the SQ LP and Q8 are surprisingly good examples of their respective formats

Let's sell this bitch OUT, y'all!
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra 5.1 LPCM Blu-ray from the In Search of Hades box-set.
Tangerine Dream - Oedipus Tyrannus 5.1 LPCM Blu-ray from the In Search of Hades box-set. Phew I found Act 1 hard work, very droll.
I had the same reaction. All of this music was new to me. I enjoyed Phaedra and Ricochet, but Oedipus Tyrannus was trying my patience in places.
