Man I'd love this. The holy grail would be the 12" version of "Gold" in Surround, it has one of the best extensions of any song I've ever experienced in a 12" mix. That 2.5-minute intro is THUNDEROUS and would kick ass in surround.
As for albums, I'm gonna be the odd man out and say that Barricades and Heart Like a Sky are my favourites. They were more coherent and polished than the previous ones as far as I'm concerned, kinda felt like they had found their groove with those. I'd understand anybody saying the previous ones were more exciting for being more diverse and adventurous, though.
