HELP! - identical to the mix that is found on the DVDV but for my ears at least it sounds really nice. Warmer and fuller in the low end with a lot more sizzle to the highs. A little more air around the vocals too. Easier to navigate to the songs you want to hear from the pop up menu. The only addition here is a DD 5.1 offering that wasn't on the DVDV.

As if HELP! wasn't enough for one day, LCD Soundsystem triple Bluray. Comparisons to 'The Last Waltz' and 'Stop Making Sense' are valid - ok, you have to dig the music but the visual presentation is stellar. It's also 3 and a half hours long! .The front sound stage is really wide and despite lighting up as 5.1 on the Onkyo and Oppo, there is nothing coming out of the centre channel! James Murphy - essentially the main guy behind LCD Soundsystem did the surround mix himself and there's no indication of why he's chosen a 4.1 mix. Phantom centre is very much present with thick and rich synth melodies sounding focussed alongside the vocals. DTS HD Master Audio for the surround mix, PCM for the stereo. The rears are an artful blend of the atmospherics of Madison Square Garden - crowd cheers and claps as well as instrument reverb but he's not shy with panning the choirs into them as well as some percussive high lights. It really stands turning up too - but that will have to wait until friday night

So far for Blu-ray audio, I've got:

Pink Floyd - DSOTM, WYWH
Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning, The Raven That Refused To Sing
The Pixies - (From the Minotaur boxed set, all their studio albums on one BR. A great example to follow, but I doubt it'll happen.)
Rush - Moving Pictures, 2112 (latest purchase)
Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
Storm Corrosion - S/T

It really doesn't look like there's going to be any organized campaign of releases for these, that I've seen at least. Pretty discouraging...

I would love the Pink Floyd sets.
Want to swap DSOM Quad disc for Ginuwine SACD?

Guess that "box" is a four letter word for you , Miss Linda!!!
BTW, how's the move (another four letter word) coming along???

 

[Quad Linda]

Most of my stuff is still in boxes. Waiting for a glass shelf to be made for some of the gear in my main system.

The PF Blu-rays are great. As for the swap... sorry about that.

So the DVD didn't have Dolby Digital? That seems odd.

Was at BBY today. Saw the Help Blu-ray. It's packaged in paper. I wouldn't even call it cardboard. Twice as flimsy as Yellow Submarine. I passed on it.

By the time Let It Be comes out they'll just give you the disc in a paper sleeve.

The McCartney Years DVD set was the same. PCM stereo or DTS 5.1.

As to the packaging - yes, I thoroughly dislike the almost identical to the previous release card and paper case but hi-res surround Beatles trumps presentation for me at least.

Bad Company - Live At Wembley

 

[d0zer]

Rush - R 30
The DTS HD MA really has more "punch" than the DD you got with the DVD. Plus, unlike the DVD, it's the complete show.

where are you ? in Europe or the USA

His location states Kansas above.

What I'd like to know is, what did it cost in dollars and is it two-channel only?

Where does it say 2 months? I see where it says it could take an extra 2 days to process.

I don't think your translator is working correctly.

I noticed someone on amazon.de has the Serge Gainsbourg and ships internationally but about $20 postage per disk.

What part of, "In stock, but delivery may take up to 2 months", don't you seem to understand?
