The earlier sets had defective blu rays from what I read. You should be good with a set now, almost think to grab it while they are readily available. I got mine like 3 weeks ago.

Genesis – A Trick Of The Tail
SACD 5.1 mix
Mastering packs a wallop. A little loud & bright.
"A nice & enveloping mix. Clear dry vocals from the center channel. Discrete use of the rears that help broaden the soundstage without totally destroying the feel of the original stereo mix.
While "The Lamb" was a little dark "Trick of the Tail" is lighter, Phil is singing, and there is a whole new scenario with a breath of fresh air"

Please excuse my long since forgotten high school German.

I really like the 5.1 of "Trick of the Tail," but (to my ears) the drums and bass are a bit too low in the mix.
Tangerine Dream – Ricochet Blu-ray
Steven Wilson 5.1 mix
"Steven Wilson has worked his magic once again.
The mix is practically perfect, and the dynamic range is fantastic with plenty of headroom to find your own particular boogie volume"

BT – This Binary Universe DTS 5.1 mix
Brian Transeau - musician, DJ, singer, songwriter, composer and audio engineer.
"If you like new music that pushes the envelope a bit and makes good use of your 5.1 setup this album is well worth your time.
For the uninitiated this is electronic music -- very diverse soundscapes - certainly with elements of beat and percussion but very cinematic in scope.
More of a soundtrack feel than anything else"

Depeche Mode – Playing The Angel
SACD 5.1 multichannel mix
"The surround mix is great, and the music is perfect for surround. The rear channels are often used for a lot of cool effects.
There's an industrial rough edge to the sonics,
background noise/harshness that was deliberately NOT cleaned up and mellowed out.
Sometimes catchy and then depressing at times. This album lives up to the tagline on the back of 'Pain and Suffering in Various Tempos'

Miles Davis – In A Silent Way
SACD 5.1 mix
"This is hypnotic, mystical music. Arousing yet soothing some primitive recess of one's consciousness..
The SACD multichannel version is smoother and better defined as one would expect and, frankly, makes a whole lot more sense in it's expanded presentation.
Finally you can clearly discern the 3 (count 'em!) individual keyboard players' contributions full of fire and bursting with dynamics:
Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Joe Zawinul
are spread through the room.
John McLaughlin guitar has bite.
Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter horns are clear and emphatic.
This is definitely one of those albums whose enjoyment is greatly enhanced by the format"

Another new arrival ( I haven’t even mentioned yet the Vocalion items that came yesterday)
Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe 5.1 (The Ultimate Version) LPCM Blu-ray.
I'm really liking this one, and the visuals are amazing!
19 tracks, 1 hour 37minutes 40 seconds. And a "making of" documentary.
