What are these Ambra blu-rays? Are they a sort of modern day 'son et lumière'?

Ah, just found a scan of the inlay... Interesting! It's a sampler of not just the Ambra albums, but also other related ones that I wasn't aware of. Be still my beating heart

Did some more digging and read the reviews on amazon for the Experience, the Prism of Life Blu Ray and (OH BOY!!) a new Lichtmond Blu Ray that came out two weeks ago (OOOH BOOOOYYYY!!!!).
If you only care about music, I'd say get the "Experience" Blu Ray. It features 3 tracks from the 3 Ambra albums each, which are very good because the albums are very good. Then, 3 tracks from the "Faszination Natur" DVDs, which were recently re-released on Blu Ray in horrible sound and video quality (apparently, they really messed up the mix on the Blu Rays and everything seems to come from the front left). Those 3 are okay. I did some youtubing for those, and I'm not too excited about them.
Then, there are tracks from stuff they were apparently going to release, but it seems like they never did. All that doesn't seem so interesting. Rather uninspired techno/trance stuff. I love trance if done right, but seems like that's not the case here.
The image quality of the "Experience" disc is horrible, and after every clip, there's an advertisement for the actual title. The product page on amazon.de is littered with 1-star reviews.
I'm passing on it, but I think it's a good idea if you want an introduction to Ambra. Sound quality seems to be pretty good.
As for the Prism of Life Blu Ray, from what I understand, it's a remaster and re-mix of the original album (seems to include 5.1 and 7.1 tracks, with the 7.1 being new), and this time it's done right. It includes one Blu Ray with audio and visuals, and one Pure Audio Blu Ray. Audio is DTS-HD MA. Reviews say the sound and image quality are brilliant. I know the album is amazing, so I've put the disc on my (long) to-buy list
As for the new Lichtmond... POPPED A BLOOD VESSEL!!! Insta-buy.
I was actually getting mixed up: I was thinking of forsenses Blu Rays. I have the Lichtmonds in my basket but have not purchased; do you recommend them?
