tom cochrane & red rider trapeze, DVD-A 5.1 MLP 96k 24b; good use of the surrounds. A fine disc, sounds even better than the first few listens, good low end and fidelity. A rocker no doubt.

I probably listen to this one a bit too often, but I love the combination of rock instrumentation, with keyboard/industrial sounds, combined with Elliot Scheiner's surround mixing sensibilities!

Alan Parsons - The Secret DVD-V... Loved the first track (an instrumental), but man, when the vocals on track 2 kicked-in... just WAY too loud in the mix (for my taste)... which is too bad, because "Miracle" sounds excellent otherwise...
How is the surround/ATMOS mix on this? Discrete or audience?
I've gotten spoiled with live stuff from Mr. Wilson and Pineapple Thief.
Discrete and very worthwhile in Atmos. AB'ed it in Dolby HD Master and Atmos, and the latter was an astounding upgrade.
Though, not in the Steven Wilson sense. No, no. Two different animals.
Never get tired of watching this excellent sounding disc.

Never get tired of watching this excellent sounding disc.
And...I never get tired of asking “why don’t I own this?”

Would you prefer I use the word, bloated? Hey? I’m just reporting what I hear with my system, in my room and with my ears.Muffled huh? Hmmmm Perp......
I’m going to give The Secret another spin later on today. I’ll probably have to make adjustments to lighten the over blown low end. I had a quick listen to the stereo version and it sounded decent enough.
Such a variety of impressions about the sound, so far! On my systems the DTS sounds far better than the CD.Would you prefer I use the word, bloated? Hey? I’m just reporting what I hear with my system, in my room and with my ears.

maybe its the dreaded 'LFE bug' making it boomy on some people's setups!?

Gotta say I agree with you... I also hear a slightly muffled aspect to the instrumental aspects of the mix (especially the drums), but I think it has something to do with the overly prominent vocals on many tracks... I wish I could turn this up loud to hear the music better, but the vocals are just too hot (some songs, such as "Miracle", are worse offenders than others). I don't find this to be a snooze-fest at all, though... I'm really digging the content and will try putting the CD into my commuting rotation... hopefully the mix is more balanced in stereo. I'm REALLY friggin' bummed about the hot vocals because I love the music and surround mix.Would you prefer I use the word, bloated? Hey?

Hey, jimfisheye, can you fix these vocals, lol?! (Like you did on "Amused to Death"
)

i've not had a chance to sit down and pull it apart yet, are lead vocals mixed mainly in the Centre channel (would be unusual for an Alan Parsons surround mix), mostly up in the Front L&R or in all channels equally?
Lead vocals are mainly FL/FR (almost nothing in the center channel)
