1K Club - QQ Shooting Star
Watched this in full yesterday (incl all extras and found the easter egg).
It's superb isn't it, I'm watching it regularly. The easter egg - is it just the pianist headslapping scene?

Genuine question - the surround is so good on this can anyone suggest one that is better than this?
I agree that it is very good, but it is not 100% perfect in my book. I think that on some songs the surround channels are mixed a little bit too high. Nitpicking, I know, but there are many surround recordings out there that is absolutely perfect to me - three examples that I played recently:
Beck - Sea Change
Van Morrison - Moondance
Bob Marley - Legend
XTC - Drums and Wire
Or maybe you were thinking about live recordings only... Then there is nothing that beats Porcupine Tree's Arriving somewhere... - lossy DTS but still the best I have heard.
I wouldn't pick XTC's Drums and Wires as having the perfect mix. While I love the principle of what's going on, the centre channel seems to be mixed too low, so the vocals are difficult to hear. Not a problem I have with any other 5.1 discs...
No such problem for me... Do you have similar problem with the other XTC discs? or other Steven Wilson mixed releases?
No that's the only one with the problem every other XTC and everything else by Steven Wilson is just about perfect. That's why it's so odd. I really don't understand why one disc out of my surround sound collection of 120+ discs should be so different.
We're getting way off-topic here (and this is a poll thread after all), but go back and listen to some of SW's other remixes released in 2013 or 2014, and you might hear some more level discrepancies concerning the center channel, especially if yours is calibrated to the correct level.
Can anybody confirm the best buying option(s)? Enjoying the heck out of the music on El YouTube.0
When I looked before I think it was only offered on their website or some such.
Is it possible to have too much of a Genesis vibe? Good stuff.

https://www.burningshed.com/store/progressive/product/506/7184/ - sold out there though, appears to be selling well on this site as this is at least twice it has sold out of its stock.
www.amazon.co.uk appear to have it now but £8 or so more expensive than the official site & more dosh goes in their pocket buying that way, more ways to buy from 3rd parties on amazon I've just noticed, most cheaper than amazon.
Ah noticed you may be from USA, the 2nd pressing which will guarantee NTSC area playback is not released until 4th July, though all people from the USA who have took a chance have had no issues, Neil may be able to further.
But can anyone tell me if the video or audio is compromised in any way, since this a euro spec disc.
The brass during The Underfall Yard put this m#@therf!*ker over the top. Just lovely.
