[Clement]

NOT ON YOUR LIFE, Comrade. We can tour D~V and then drink Ale and eat fish 'n chips with fredblue, Duncan and Master Smithers and pack on the £'s!

Well, that would be one HELLUVA road trip! But no more drinking for me; this is about the only adult beverage i can enjoy nowadaze

Pineapple Thief: Versions Of The Truth Bluray. Just received this today.
Great fidelity. This is the first PT album where I like all the songs. Voted a 9. That may change after listening to the alternate versions. I recommend this disc for its sound and surround mix.

Steven Wilson ‎– 4½ Blu-ray 5.1 mix

Album details - Dynamic Range Database

Mr. Wilson serves up some tasty leftovers

"Together with musicians that have been with him on previous endeavors, Wilson gave life to old pieces that may have otherwise not seen the light of day.
It is something that his fans can be grateful for; as everything that comes out of the man’s mind seems to be genius"

 

[Beefalo]

Genesis ‎– Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
SACD 5.1 mix

"The first disc is devoted to progressive-rock songs with a pop leaning while the second largely is devoted to montages.
Essentially The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway contains both a direct Genesis’ rock side along with the impressionistic masterpieces found on the second half"

Speaking of wOw factor, i've always dug this song

@fredblue did you ever get around to comparing the SACD to the DualDisc as you mention in this POST? I'm interested in what your post-2015 discerning ears have to say about it . . . and if the Surround Master helps the tepid mix! Stay Surrounded, Comrade!

I now remember why it's been so long since last i listened–sitting down with the "opera" is quite a commitment! What is your issue with the release? I think @Mediaversal makes some excellent observations about the release's limitations in this review:
