I just got the CD. It is definitely in Dolby Surround. The credits say "5.1 mix".

Wow!

Wow!

About two years ago, AmazonUS was blowing them out brand new for under $20. If you can procure the MLP DVD~A, BY ALL MEANS GRAB IT: It's truly EXQUISITE!

Really good 2000 release 5.1 DVD-A 24/96, Dynamic Range average 12, from Willie Nelson, beautiful recording and surround, instrumental.

I really love this one, took me totally by surprise; I call it Willie’s Gypsy Jazz album.
To have this in surround is truly special!
I can’t recommend this enough- thanks to Freddie Blue turning me on to this

I am retired, with a limited budget. I can't afford to buy all of the gear you guys have.

First I would have to grab a way to play it in discrete. With the equipment I have now, I would hear it in the same Dolby Surround (if it plays on a stereo DVD player).

I just finished with F.E.A.R. But needed a palate cleanser, so off to a record and mix I really love.

Probably a little too Metal and “busy” for my tastes; but was wondering if there’s a surround release of “Liquid Tension Experiment 2” ?

Well, there's this concert BD - not really discrete, but it sounds pretty good and smokes:

It's starting to get rather weird here: yesterday a song with fireworks comes up right after somebody starts practising for New Year's Eve on the street; today a tune with sounds of thunder made me to look outside and realize it's raining for the first time in a week...
Anyway, Joshua & Ruth have got exceptionally well sounding mix going on for a dtsCD, but it's Son & Sylvia who have stolen the show today.

And, of course, it's digitally remastered!! Hey Adam, try wrapping your head around that one!!!

Nine Inch Nails ‎– Live: Beside You In Time
Blu-ray 5.1 mix

"Predictably, Beside You in Time sounds best when played loud. The low bass here absolutely rivals -- if not exceeds -- even the greatest action movie soundtracks.
The tightness and force of the subwoofer is simply a whopper. The level of clarity & precision to the entire frequency range is palpable.
Reznor's vocals reveal a full texture.
Guitars also have a more vicious feel, and again, those damn drums. This is goosebumps time for fans like me who love loud, aggressive rock"
