No, more like the surround titles I've played in the couple weeks since I last posted in this thread.

How's the surround mix, Rick? Never heard of them but the AmazonUS reviews are VERY positive!

It's worth mentioning that the 5.1 mix for this album was done by Ronald Prent, aka the European Elliot Scheiner - he has a ton of surround remix credits to his name, and they're almost always very active and discrete mixes. I particularly like his Mando Diao Aelita 5.1 mix.

He's also supposedly like Bob Clearmountain in that he's done a separate surround mix of everything he's mixed since the mid '00s, regardless if the album was released or not, which comprises a ton of unreleased material.

I also noticed in googling him that it appears that he and his wife Darcy Proper (the mastering engineer) have recently relocated to New York (at Valhalla Studios, NY) after many years in Europe, first at Wiseloord Studios in the Netherlands and then at Galaxy Studios in Belgium. It looks like the studio (and Prent) are fully invested in Atmos and Reality3D mixing which can only be a good thing for the future.

I've been 'whizzing' through the entire Chicago QUADIO box set {WHEW!} and am totally delighted by each and every BD~A in exquisite and hyper discrete 4.0 sonics in 192kHz/24bit resolution. Does it get any better than THIS?

Can we EVER anticipate a Joni Mitchell and Eagles QUADIO box set?

A COMPLEX RECORDING FOR COMPLEX PEOPLE DURING COMPLEX TIMES! {Our Recordings/Multi~CH SACD/Includes DVD}

The Danish composer Axel Borup-Jorgensen (1924-2012) was one of the 20th century's great Scandinavian silent individualists. Born in Denmark and raised in Sweden, he was largely self-taught as a composer, emerging on the international spotlight in 1965 when his Nordic Summer Pastoral won first prize in the competition for a short orchestral work held by Danmarks Radio. While the avant-garde of the sixties exerted a strong influence on Borup-Jorgensen's sound world, he always followed his own intuition and obeyed his extraordinary sense of organizing sound combined with a passionate, almost mystical regard for nature. Borup-Jorgensen's music exists on the margins of silence, punctuated with searing dramatic eruptions, all of which can be heard in his orchestral masterpiece Marin (1970). Borup-Jorgensen massive sea symphony exists in its own unique world of sound - sometimes in as many as 55 separate voices - and is one of the most challenging and meticulously detailed orchestral textures ever set to paper. Such visceral music demands visual expression and as part of this very special DVD/SACD release, Lückow Film, and an international team of animators directed by Morten Bartholdy bring Borup-Jorgensen's musical world to life. Also included is the new film AXEL - a portrait of both the composer, and of mid-century Danish modernism featuring interviews with other composers, colleagues and friends, as well as excerpts from recent live performances of the music by Axel Borup-Jorgensen.
