Document - R.E.M. (DualDisc).
The packaging says its DVD-V in DTS 5.1 but it's a genuine Advanced Res MLP 5.1 DVD-A.. only a few tracks into the disc but sounds great so far, typical rear-active Elliot Scheiner surround mix.. sounds very nice (mastered by Darcy Proper).. fun round the room pan (rear right to front right to front left to rear left) of 'typewriter' sound effect at the beginning of "Exhuming McCarthy".. Cool..!

Shoeless Joe (DTS CD).
Never heard of this band but being a 5.1 music disc I had to try it.. well, blow me down, it's excellent!
Very catchy tunes, nice BV's/harmonies (fulsome in the rears, I might add).. clean, spare, spry and jangly pleasant guitar work, very melodious 'lite rock'..
..all wrapped up in a text book 4.1 surround mix (no centre activity I could discern) it does all the right things in all the right speakers at all the right times!
Recommended to the QQ crew!

Sounds great so far. :banana:

I only made it to track 3 before my wife interrupted the fun. I can't wait to give it a good listen, the mix sounds really good.

Opeth - Pale Communion. Love how SW spreads the vocals around the room, and lead guitar in the centre speaker! Drums everywhere as well. It's hard to imagine listening to this any other way. BTW this was on sale 2 days ago instore at JB hifi here in Sydney.
The Doors - The Very Best of The Doors (SACD)
(Another surround compilation - this one from my Doors SACDs - Identical track list to the 2007 CD release 'The Very Best of The Doors' which was never released on SACD)

Sorry but this does not exist. There is NO Doors best of SACD.
I want this! I can't find it on amazon?
I'm guessing HomerJAU compiled it themselves from the various MultiCh SACDs/DVD-A's..?
This is where I got it;

Bear in mind I had been looking for this DTS CD at a reasonable price for approx 7 years before I finally got it this month. It is a very hard to find disc for sensible money, sadly.
Yes. That's correct Adam. I copied individual tracks from my SACDs to make a 'The Very Best Of' album track list. (24/88.2kHz FLACs played from my media player).
I've done similar 'albums' from my Talking Heads and Genesis DVD-As, creating a surround version of a 'Best Of' official CD release. (Basically a recreation from surround tracks from official surround releases).
I also created a DVD-V DTS 5.1 disc for my car audio player for the Talking Heads 'Best Of' (since my car won't play DVD-As).

Very cool indeed Garry!
I've never understood why the labels didn't do just this back in the day and release compilations for artists where they'd remixed all or virtually all of their back catalogue in Hi-Res/surround..
To be fair, Universal did the Marvin Gaye compilation (very cool.. I love it.. it could've been more comprehensive though I suspect its brevity due to combination of disc storage space with its DTS CD origins, as well as possibility of unavailable multitracks?).. and there were The Carpenters, The Police, Seal, Era, R.E.M., Lee Ann Womack, Gloria Estefan, Al Green surround compilations too of course.. and the Rory Gallagher comp, fwiw..
..just think, we could have had hits compilations of artists as diverse (and popular) as Genesis, Bjork, The Moodies, Talking Heads, The Doors, Depeche Mode..
..and if the labels had done a proper job of the surround catalogues of Dylan, Elton, Queen, Bowie, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, The Doobies, Eagles, Chicago, Foreigner, Grateful Dead, Clapton, James Taylor, Roxy Music, Bon Jovi, Rush - can you imagine surround compilations by those guys!?

I would love some G. hits in surround. Maybe Audio Fidelity should try that? Nowadays it is a lot easier; just send the digital files to the engineer. I could do it on my laptop. There's not huge costs involved at all, nor would it take hours and hours of going through tapes.
Universal own some of those catalogs, do they not? They could easily do some G. Hits 5/1/2.0 on Blu Ray Audios.
That's my dream...to take my existing hi rez discs and make my own compilation discs...not just the same band...but mix them up too
...how do they sound?...are they as good as the original hi rez discs?- Status
