There is a (record) scratching sound...its an effect that's in the mix....it doesn't bother me.

Like Lizard said...it's a scratching sound...almost like a vinyl record...it's inherent in the production as it's found in the CD also...I used to just skip that song to avoid it...it's not one of my favorite songs on the disc...I see you mentioned on another thread that you are expecting to be "wowed"...I'm not sure you will be...based on your impressions of other discs..this one will be a challenge for you....I mean in a "style"/genre way...this presents several styles on this one disc..it's pretty diverse and a LONG way from progressive music..I do hope you like it...I loved it at first blush but some songs were a challenge for me..but songs like El Paso and Vanishing Point are just so good it elevates the whole album...I will be interested to see how you feel about it...I'm guessing you will give it a 7 in the poll...we will see...
A Grrreat album, made better in lossless 5.1:

David Gilmour in Concert - Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown - DVD-V 5.1 Dolby
Mainly acoustic, intimate performance from Gilmour - excellent video directed by veteran David Mallet with arrangements from the late, great Michael Kamen. Engineered and recorded by James Guthrie and Andy Jackson - it's all ambience in the surrounds but it is a wonderfully unique performance.

I must challenge you on a few points.
First, if the scratching sound is a part of the production and mix, it's not really a "problem", is it? When you said problems, I though I might be buying a faulty disc, and I definitely do not need to do any more of that…
Also, what impressions of other discs that I have given makes you think I will not be "wowed" by this one? I do love me some prog, but surround sound has opened up my ears to a lot of artists and albums that I may not have gotten into otherwise, so I think that could very easily happen for this disc, especially after I liked the samples I heard on iTunes.
I feel like I'll probably give it at least an '8', but we'll know for sure soon enough.
It is harsh - the whole way through the song. It makes me think "mastering error" but I'm no techie. I find it unlistenable because it is so unpleasant. Track #9 "You're Not" is similar although not as pronounced.

Are you sure it's not Gentle Giant?
WoW! Just got it. Fantastic surround mix and nice little accompanying video on this BD-A! I like how Steven Wilson spreads the vocals out among the speakers...sometimes center, sometimes wide in the L/R fronts, sometimes front with strong reverb in the rears. This really helps to enhance their offbeat vocals. And the hip, beatnik jazzy angle to this Prog Rock is great fun. Thanks a lot for the gentle nudge! :brew

Never listened to this band until I listened to this bluray. Enjoyed every note, great music and great mix!
Listening to Gentle Giant's The Power And The Glory now, but bought it months ago and put it aside. I bought it based on reviews here and on listening to about 20 seconds on Youtube. I can't stand videos or ripping off the artist, but I did get to sample it and knew I had to have it in surround. All I know is that by track seven, my partner NEEDS to understand that I need a surround sound system in the bedroom, because I am effing floored! Now I know our furniture sucks because I can't get comfortable enough to drift off into another space! This was preceded by another unheard buy, Relayer from Yes which was good, but not GG good.

Yay! Glad you like it, Lute. This was the first album of theirs I ever heard (way back when) and I've been a mega-fan ever since. The SW mix was a dream come true.
You may want to pick up "The Yes Album". It really is the best sounding of the three YES surround releases, released, so far.

I appreciate the reccomendation. I have all three and enjoy them. The Yes Album is a really good listen I agree.
Talking Heads-Speaking In Tongues Dual Disc...I'd like to dedicate the first song on this superb sounding disc to Quad Linda...BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE:walker
