You have the 2011 remastered audio CD. Also included is a live CD (previously unreleased legally). The third disc is a DVD-Audio disc which includes the 5.1 surround mix from 2009, the 1975 Quad Mix, the 2011 stereo remaster in LPCM and two more versions of the multichannel audio in case your system can't support the higher bit rates of the other two versions. The fourth disc is the visual material (with LPCM stereo and 5.1); these are the "concert films" that played behind the band when they performed in 1975. This DVD also includes a 6 minute Storm Thorgessoon film. The reason for me to purchase the...

Like the DSOTM Immersion, I bought this for the Quad and 5.1 mixes. In the description I read of this set, there was no mention of the quad mix on the Blu-ray disk. Fear not, it is on there. I find the quad mixes of both Immersions and the recent Aqualung Anniversary addition to be fantastic. I don't mean to diminish the 5.1 mixes they are great as well, it's just a personal preference. You really get a better appreciation for the musical arrangement in multi channel. There is a lot more here musically when you listen in quad or 5.1. Bottom line, if you already love multi channel music or are interested in an introduction to it, this might be the perfect opportunity. Yes, it's pricey and that may turn away a lot of casual fans of Floyd but, if you have a room full of speakers a decent multi channel decoder and some disposable cash, you...

The 4.0 Quad and the 5.1 Surround mixes both sound wonderful. Like DSOTM Immersion, I find the Quad version to be my favorite of the two.However, the real treat is hearing the live version of SOYCD Live. Wright's organ work is simply outstanding. I don't think most people realize just how much Rick meant to the band. If only they had included Echoes and some versions of the songs from the Animals Tour. Speaking of which, they could have included some screen films from the '77 Tour as well. They did this with the DSOTM set and should have done so here, too. The trinkets are okay, but I would have traded them for more live versions of the WYWH album. Maybe, hopefully, they are holding this back for an Animals Immersion. I have to give the set 5 stars because the music is just that good. I do think they could have added more music without being so repetitive. |
