I do not remember my DVD set being this discrete. Yowza!
I listened to the old Pulse DVD last night and there was no music info. coming out of the surrounds. Only echo & clapping. Lame... that's probably why I've only listened to it twice.
Glad to hear this one is better.
Whoa. We have a true remix on our hands, then.
An Ayreon evening, DD only but......fantastic mixes and sound, all of them!!

Jan, so agree with you. Arjen L. projects are really well done and his surround mixing is stellar. Sure hope he gives us a lossless mix one day as that would put it over the top.
Me too, I tried to convince him via mail that lossless would be the icing on the cake but maybe his budget doesn't allow him to?I'm so happy he did my favourite album of his (Electric Castle) that I didn't push him any futher. I'll try again, thanks Peter!!
I was hoping that a surround mix of Universal Migrator might be in the pipeline for an anniversary next year.
He's got his own studio equipped for surround now so who knows, when I asked him if we would ever see The Electric Castle in surround a few years ago he was not very optimistic but it happened. If you ask me yes I think he will continue with mixing his older (and also new) stuff in surround. In the words of rtbluray.....

DJABE & STEVE HACKETT: BACK TO SARDINIA
I gave this a good listen today as just picked this up at Pineapple Thief concert on Friday night and listened to the main album twice and the acoustic album once. WOW,WOW,WOW.... to my ears Bruce S. has totally nailed this surround. Its a really engaging listen and wonderful use of all speakers. There's lots of stuff going on in rear's even on the stripped down acoustic version you hear some extra guitar and beautiful harmony vocals in rears to accompany main vocal in the front. The main album has lots of extra keys and sound affects going on to give it a more layered sound than acoustic.
I am not much of a lyric guy so hearing these 2 versions is just awesome as they are different enough that it makes it a joy to listen to either one even back to back listening.
People not getting this because of the price are missing out as its a fantastic surround x 2 listen.

Under The Eye Of The Sun sounds like it would fit a Jon Anderson album; it has that same vocal vibe.
I like the guitar in Underground Railroad, but the piece itself seems undecided on what it wants to be.
So far the mix seems pretty front heavy. Everyone is in bed so perhaps it needs more volume to enjoy.
This isn't something I would spin much; I am glad my library had a copy to check out.
As an aside, I think I have been too harsh on him over the years; the wounds from GTR are still fresh.
