Thats the one! There's a thread on here about "channel reassignments" that describes specifically how to do it, but 3 of the channels need to be rotated to different speakers to correct the mix. After that, you have to raise the levels of the left channels to balance the mix. The result sounds great! I used DVDAE to make wav files, then used Audacity to do the re assignments and balancing.
This past weekend, i had a chance to listen to both discs properly though I've had them for at least a year and had a great time. It's not "modern" sounding (not an issue for me) and the fidelity and surround are quite nice.
Those Flaming Lips discs are a real roller coaster ride.
Very nice low end, great use of the surrounds and a clean immersive sound. Really like the drums.
Still working through the stack, this was a pre subwoofer disc for me. Started with the AVR set to "Multichannel" mode and it sounded veiled and muddy. Switched to "Direct" mode and no exaggeration, my first thought was it sounded nearly live.
