I'll definitely help to contribute to this list when I can as I am now using these lists all the time to help find new surround mixes for me to listen to and buy!

Thanks so much for keeping them going!

 

[JonUrban]

You are THE MAN!! Thanks for doing this

Thanks so much for keeping them going!

Since the next big & new surround mix isn't due out until after July 1 ("Amused to Death"), I'm running down my top 5 surround releases of the year so far:

1) Steven Wilson "Hand. Cannot. Erase"
2) ELP "Trilogy"
3) Anthony Phillips "The Geese & The Ghost"
4) Jethro Tull "Minstrel in the Gallery"
5) Simple Minds "Sparkle in the Rain"

Honorable Mention: Nosound
(I don't have the Gavin Harrison disc, so that's why that disc isn't included in this Top 5)

 

[LizardKing]

FYI - Ian Cooke – Antiquasauria has been confirmed as a DVD-A by Neil W.

 

[haikubass]

Wow. I've just realized that this year's schedule is still keeping the pace of one surround title per week. :worthy

 

[OdysseyMusik]

The 'ELP – Trilogy (2CD+DVD-A) 4/27' link send me to King Crimson on Burning Shed. But can't find the 5.1 mix of Trilogy there or on Amazon.uk... Any knows where to get Trilogy 5.1?

 

[haikubass]

Thx, I'm on it. AmazonUK link here
