Thanks for the review as those of us in the colonies are still awaiting our copies.,..ps. just on Since The Last Goodbye and despite the sound veering on the bright side of things, i'm really really enjoying the surround mix!
bravo Mr. Parsons you've done it again! wonder if he'd like to take up the multichannel mixing mantle and do some surround mixes of other artists if Mr. Scheiner has gone into full retirement!?
Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

i'd give it a few points for being musically interesting and a few more for them heroically trying to do something surround-y in the face of adversity but.. anymore than a 7 and i'd be questioning Pollsters sanity.
The Band : Music From Big Pink
(SDE)
Blu-ray says;
"i shall be released..
from my shrinkwrap prison!!"
mwahahahahhaaa!!
first impression; track 1 = Centre channel feels pretty prominent in the mix?
fredkarn's evil 2nd impression = track 2 more surround-y and less Centre-y.. phew!

Time for spacey / noodley yummyness 
Move D / Namlook: XI - Sons Of Kraut
Track 2 sounds like a long trippy remix of Frankie's Welcome to the Pleasuredome.

A few songs are mixed this way (most notably “The Weight”) - I’d guess due to a very limited amount of tracks to play with? OTOH, “To Kingdom Come” and especially “We Can Talk” feel almost like 4-corner quad.
just on "The Weight" now, not surround-y at all. i don't remember the same track being like this on the old DVD-A?
edit: next track "We Can Talk" much more like it! as you say its very Quaddy!
edit 2: maybe they should've fudged/futzed with "The Weight" and upmixed it? really not good.. and its my personal favourite track on the album
edit 3: so annoyed i'm ejecting now to go onto something else!

Chris Squire : Fish Out Of Water
Disc Out Of Wrap
edit: no pressure but if this is more 5.1 boxset balls i'm gonna channel Keith Moon and throw a tv out the window!
edit 2: i wish this had been mixed like the Yes stuff
edit 3: congested sound, feels Centre channel heavy, some odd mixing decisions that don't really work for me (Centre Back has to be used carefully or that Rear info just appears upfront and any Surround effect is diminished imho).
eject.

The boys in DTS knew how to get the panning done properly.

A Bad Think - The Savior
Bob Clearmountain mix!

well.. 'twas not the lovely lads and lasses at DTS, you see.. but the work of the legendary (the one, the only, there'll never be another) Mister Shelly Yakus ('im wot did the somewhat 'meh' multich mix of BÖC's "Agents Of Fortune" and the much more betterer Quad of Rick Derringer's "Spring Fever").
now Mister Yakult musta been having a spectacularly good day at the Quad controls back in June 1975 mining the creamy jizzmine with no nightdream terrors because it is, without a doubt, not only one of my all-time top Quads ever but (no hesitation in my miiiind) also one of the absolute tip-top cream of the crop DTS CD releases, ev-errrrrr!!
I've just corrected my omission in not downloading this one last year...

how's the Centre channel working out for you on this one Baggster?
vague recollections of it maybe being a tad, overegged at times, perhaps..
i'll give it another airing in the corona confinement.

you did a bad bad think
..but you did a good good think in the end!
My Think is not quite the Think it used to be...I Think!!you did a bad bad think
..but you did a good good think in the end!
Center is pretty hot. The mix sounds nice though. I think the center carries most of the percussion/drum sounds? Interesting choice.how's the Centre channel working out for you on this one Baggster?

It does leave the other 4 channels sounding very organic and airy a lot of the time.
from Jasmine Nightdreams to Tangerine Dreams at night 
another boxset that's been sitting pretty in its cellophane for many a month..
now i'm in search of a good 5.1 mix, hope Mr. Wilson doesn't disappoint!!
cometh the hour, cometh the box set.. itssssss...
Tangerine Dreams: "In Search Of Hades"
time to slit the shrink.. zzzzippppp.. pour another glass of medicine... glug glug glug.. and we're switched on Bach-ing mad
edit: well the mix of the first track on the first BD was fabulous and what i believe may have been an upmix (?) thereafter was very Surround-y feeling and noice.
however, musically it was kinda a non-event.. so much so that i hadn't realised the actual album had ended and i'd had the menu background music on a permanent loop the last 25 minutes! well i thought it was kinda going nowhere.. HA!!
