I haven't quite finished listening to the new 5.1 surround mix of "A Farewell to Kings" yet (starting "Cygnus X-1" now) but so far, "Eye in the Sky" is the better 5.1 surround mix for me (and neither are quite as good as "Black Sea"!)

Interesting. I agree Black Sea is great. Going to listen to Farewell now, got hung up on INXS KICK, which is better than Black Sea. Back in 45 after I listen to Farewell.I haven't quite finished listening to the new 5.1 surround mix of "A Farewell to Kings" yet (starting "Cygnus X-1" now) but so far, "Eye in the Sky" is the better 5.1 surround mix for me (and neither are quite as good as "Black Sea"!)
Symbion Project Misery In Soliloquy DTS 4.0 DVD, well done, currently Exercise In Futility. Surrounds well used, low end is good too.:thumbs: More physical discs please.

John Hickey - The Storm Tree Suite - Fits good to the mood here at QQ
Remember you as always can listen to a free sample (stream/download) at Surroundmusic1
Agreed - Melancholic Soundscapes at its best.
A quite beautiful suite .
John Hickey has more to be released too.
A fine little album with an equally fine quad mix.

And later tonight......I'll give this....my first ever DVDA.....a good listen to.
I like this very much for an early 5.1 mix from......John Kellog (I think?)
Only had DD capable DVD player then, and it sounded very impressive to me (Lotz o surround front to rear etc.)
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer-Brain Salad Surgery DVDA (1999/2000)

Grooving to Beneath the Waves. Rob Reed is one of the best. if only he could to more work for other artists.

It's back, Donald Fagen Kamakiriad 5.1 MLP 96k 24b DVD-A. Seemed appropriate, a favorite.
I am getting settled in to do a comparison between the two surround releases of A Farewell To Kings. I think I will use Xanadu with all it little noises. Any other suggestions ?
I’m not trying to find out which is better, I believe that the new SW is already better, just want to educate myself. Many times when doing comparisons, it’s not if it’s sonically better as much as it is at what cost . You know there going to be selling us the same recordings over and over until we die.

I guess I must like INXS - Kick, I've listened to it multiple times now. For me, that's a good sign.

Rush "A Farewell to Kings"... as marpow said, this sounds great LOUD! Cygnus X-1 is killer!!!

Listened to it twice now. Neil's wrap-around toms are amazing. So glad Steven and Rush decided to go full-on surround with this. Amazing dynamics and sound quality is the best I've ever heard for this album. Wow! Gonna take a Toto - IV palette cleanser and listen again. Again, Wow!

YES... the wrap-around toms are the key!! Steven could remix every Rush album using this effect only, and the results would be great! (Of course, we know he would do more than that with his mixes, but just sayin’...)
XTC - Black Sea... This sounds great!!! This could be my favorite of the XTCs released so far (from a musical standpoint)... of course the mix and fidelity are phenomenal. I like how you can have favorite songs on an album in stereo, but then you listen in surround and the “lesser” songs suddenly grab you too!
The Pineapple Thief - 8 Years Later. Great album and mix to start a lazy Sunday morning

For me, this is really the best...
Yes, it's really a kind of show and tell type of DVDA . Experimental surround in it's infancy......a must own for any collector or ELP fan.
