I have the Dual Disc......I have to believe the surround mix is the same. I'd say it's not really discreet, but it's nicely immersive, which I personally love.

Looks like you can get a used Dual Disc at a decent price...though I don't know cost for where you live for shipping...
Advantage of Dual Disc version is, it has video along with 5.1 audio which adds to the "coolness"

Hopes and Fears Dual Disc

Styx Cyclorama DVD-A 5.1 MLP 96k 24b: Sure it's one of those but it has its moments, These Are The Times is a stand out for me. Always seems to get better the longer I listen.

Love the way AP lists it as STEREO when it's 4.0 [along with Child Is Father to the Man which is 5.1]

Luckily, I only paid $60 + tax for this set as part of Amazon's warehouse deals....brand spanking new/sealed.

Haven't compared it to Audio Fidelity's 4.0 SACD version ..........the only difference, IMO, would be in the mastering!

Is "Child " also 4.0. ?

Child is 5.1- remix done by Al Kooper for Sony SACD release during the early 2000s, but shelved until AF reissued in it 2014. Bloodlines disc has the same mix as the AF.

There are, however, some 4.0 Child tracks on the BS&T Greatest Hits quad album AND on the Mike Robin reels, but Kooper's 5.1 is far superior IMO.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (US Version Colombia PCQ 33453). This quad version has a snippet of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part IX tacked to the end of side one. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but is very unique. As is the quad mix.

Correct, sjcorne, along with Al Kooper's excellent 5.1 remix of Super Session also released by Audio Fidelity.

Santana & John McLaughlin- Love Devotion Surrender (Q8)

This is awesome! But really how could it not be- an epic collaboration between perhaps the greatest guitar virtuosos of the '70s. To me it's got way more of a Santana vibe than Mahavishnu Orchestra. It fits in nicely with the sort of the trilogy of sort of out there fusion-esque albums (Caravanserai, Welcome, Borboletta).

The mix by Larry Keyes is your typical later-era Santana quad mix. Pretty static in terms of placement, unlike the wacky panning in early titles like Abraxas or Santana III (I often wonder how different those early gold-bordered titles would be if they were mixed later on...).

Santana and McLaughlin's lighting fast guitars are placed left and right front, while keys, organ, and all kinds of percussive elements attack from each corner.

I would so love it if D-V got this one, and it seems plausible since they did get ahold of Santana & Alice Coltrane's Illuminations. For now, my cart that I snagged on discogs for around $4 sounds suprisingly good

One of my VERY favorite Santana collaborations along with Illuminations. I've never heard it in surround but if the Coltrane~Santana DV SACD is any indication......bring it ON!
