Corry, It's a real 5.1 version by "longtime Pink Floyd producer/engineer" James Guthrie. I guess they couldn't persuade Alan Parsons to revisit his crowing achievement? Dunno if Waters or Gilmore were involved.
http://store.acousticsounds.com/store.cfm?Title_ID=10539&do=detail&keywords= newsletter That's good news for the 2 people on the planet who have SACD players. The rest of the world is sleeping through the revolution and that is why it will "fail". For non-audiophiles: This material will NOT be on the final exam. It will be just another Good Idea That Didn't Catch On like the Elcaset and Beta and Laserdisc and FM radio. (Okay, I slipped in a ringer.) SACD is one of two higher-rez formats. Yeah, there are combination players that decode both Sony's SACD and Panasonic's DVD-Audio. As you would expect it's the usual battle: Sony-Columbia versus the rest of the world. There is already one Joni Mitchell title available on DVD-Audio but no one on this list has ever reviewed it. There are no Beatles titles yet. The revolution will not be buying airtime on the Super Bowl broadcast. Lama np: a superb sounding David Crosby solo live disc. I found it in a gas station for $8 or something. The title is "Live" and on a label called "EMI-Capitol Special Markets". Cat #72435-24498-2-8 (c) 2000. The dynamics are intact and that, my friends, is half the ride. (That's what was so disappointing about the latest live one from the E Streeters. You would think that Sony-Columbia would have figured it out by now, but no. Even "Live Rust" comes up lacking in the dynamics game.)
