I have this disc sitting in my aged pre-HDMI Sony 400 disc player connected to the analogue plugs of my newer Marantz 8012.

the final track - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes- has some extraordinary surround effects at the end, however, the best method to hear these descending crashing tomatoes is, strangely perhaps, on a PS3 unit that I have deliberately kept at Firmware 2.0 which - for the whole 20mins it was available - contained a accidental capacity to carry multi-channel audio over the Toslink optical cable (NB: optical can not carry the same amount of data as an HDMI - however, this technical limitation is not the reason the licensing agreements prevent this option)

Using the PS3 with this accidental option provides a phenomenal surround sound outcome I have been unable to replicate through HDMI using myriad playback options.
