Looks as if you are delving deeply into your DVD-A collection tonight! Do you have the latest Blu-ray release of The Last Waltz? If so, how does the mix and fidelity compare to the DVD-A?

Like the Martin Scorsese directed flick mostly ambience, Comrade and I do look forward to a Native 4K remaster down the pike which I'm sure will be released in Dolby Atmos.

BTW, that Checkfield disc is another one of American Gramaphone's slam dunk discrete DVD~A releases. Just ordered a back~up- copy ... just in case!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Great Stuff

WOW!!!! Checkfield in 5.1 Surround. Give us more Checkfield in 5.1. MORE MORE MORE. I am hooked on this group. The 5.1 surround separation is incredible. The overall quality of the audio is pristine. It is offered in DTS 5.1 Surround, Dolby 5.1 Surround, or Dolby 2.0 stereo. And all 3 formats are in 96KHz/24bit resolution.

A quick note: The disc is a 2-sided disc. One side is for DVD-A players, the other side is for all DVD Video players.

12 Audio only titles that will blow you away in 5.1 Surround include....

1. Through The Lens
2. Grasslands
3. Flowers
4. Clockwork
5. Shennandoa
6. Back Porch Kauai
7. Spirit
8. The Good Brown Earth
9. A Sailor's Lament
10. Distant Thunder
11. Going Home
12. Live At Five

The special features include video. The first is a video version of the first audio title "Through The Lens" also in full 5.1 surround. As cool to watch as it is to listen to. There are video adds for Mannheim Steamroller DVD's in 5.1 and other titles on American Gramaphone Music. And a special treat called "Chip Davis' Comet. It is a CGI comet zipping through space in all directions, and the audio is in 5.1 Surround. Cool to watch. I replayed it 5 or 6 times in a row. It only last for about a minute, but it is different and fun.

I want MORE Checkfield in 5.1 Surround. Where do I find more of it? Gimme Gimme Gimme, I want it I want it I want it!!!!!

Mannheim Steamroller Fresh Aire 8 [American Gramaphone/MLP DVD~A 5.1 96/24]

IMO, ALL the American Gramaphone MLP DVD~As are superbly executed, wildly discrete and represent a diverse repertoire for one's surround collection.

Too bad Ken Scott delivered a very conservative and tame surround mix for this Bowie masterpiece. A real shame!

Damn, I wasn’t aware that Alexi had passed away. He was a damn good metal guitarist. I know that most of the Finnish metal bands I listen to drink massively and that Alexi was quite the party animal, but I don’t know if that’s what did him in. RIP Alexi!
