These formats like SACD that are sometimes surround and sometimes not surround drive me crazy. Problem is, when you can find the titles the listing is not always clear as to whether or not the recording is in surround.
So my question, do all dual discs have a surround sound recording included? I'm thinking the answer is, no.
For example, this would be a great disc (Devils' Rejects Soundtrack) if it were truly in surround, but it is described as Dolby stereo.

Can someone clarify what the scoop is with DualDiscs. All surround or not?
 
Definitely NOT. Some have video content, some just enhanced stereo. Some do have surround, but by no means do all dual discs have surround
 
Here is a list of DualDiscs that I know for certain contain surround tracks. I'm sure there are more out there that I am not aware of, but this is a good start:

Wow Cai, that is a great list -- thank you!!! A bunch there that I didn't know about.

Am I correct in guessing that the list includes DualDiscs with DVD-Video sides that have surround mixes?

Mark Z
 
My list makes no distinction for surround-sound formats. If it has a DualDisc logo and there is some form of surround-sound content, then it's on my list (to the extent that I know about it - again, it's not comprehensive).

One caveat though... there might be a few in there that are not technically DualDisc (might be OneDisc or some non-branded flipper format).

Noted omissions include all the rehashed Silverline dreck previously available on DVD-A. I purposefully didn't give this tripe a second glance. However, I do include Silverline DualDiscs that were NOT previously released on DVD-A.
 
Cai,
We should keep this as a sticky for future reference. It's a great list and saves a whole lot of frustration when searching sites like Yourmusic for cheap surround titles.

Found another title dualdisc surround title on Yourmusic;
Jesus and Mary Chain: Darklands
 
Is there a reason "Drawing Restraint 9 Soundtrack" from the Björk Surrounded DualDisc set is omitted? I have it and haven't even listened yet.

The Jesus and Mary Chain DualDiscs are stereo, but DVD-A stereo for what that is worth.

Chris
 
That's right. Unfortunately, all the Jesus & Mary Chain DualDisc titles are stereo only.

I wonder if this is an inaccurate quote from the yourmusic.com site then?
"Darklands" is no "Psychocandy" in the end -- nothing the band released later ever was -- but it's still a good listen. [This DualDisc version includes additional mixes in Dolby Surround.] ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide"

Wonder no longer; that quote is most certainly inaccurate. I wish it were not so. :(
 
The Los Lonely Boys DualDisc is supposedly surround, but I was sorely disappointed. If there's anything in the rears, I'll be damned if I can hear it. The stereo separation isn't even that good!
