The good thing is that this album is available for a reasonable price. A bit disappointing to see it is still Dolby, while Rob Reed knows about dvd audio.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised and mailed them for confirmation; it is only DD.

I'll certainly be buying it for the extra tracks and I should stress (for the benefit of anyone who hasn't hear it) that the 5.1 is truly stunning and sounds higher fidelity than it actually is!

Feels a little like a missed opportunity right now, but I think it's been driven mostly by the originals (both CD and DVD) having been out of stock for some time.

I do have a very strong feeling that this will not be the final word wrt Magenta and 5.1...

Agree, the Metamorphosis Collection dvd sounds great, not the typical DD affair.

I'm not familiar with this group but the reviews are very good and I just ordered it from their site. Good price and reasonable shipping to Canada. I did notice a single copy of a DVD-A of this album at Amazon.uk but for over 30 pounds.

There is no DVD-A of this disc. The old version is just DD as well. But this one has more to offer. I would echo Neil's statement that this is a great disc and the surround mix is a great one despite the lack of a lossless track. I know some get hung up that if it's not lossless they aren't interested, but you are just cheating yourself out of a great disc. Any prog fan should give this one a chance. This is my favorite of the 3 Magenta surround offerings.
But yeah, I sure wish he'd have at least gone dts this time around.

Looks to me like the DVD disc is just a straight clone of the old one.

But I don't have the CD, and the bonus tracks look good, so maybe I'll bite.

Yes, let's hope The 27 Club will be in 5.1 too.
