Lightbulb Sun in 5.1 DVD-A is still in the cards according to Simon, the moderator of PT fan's forum. Patience is a virtue as Steven Wilson is a very busy man who is in 3 different bands.
From their website: The reissue of Porcupine Tree's 1999 album Stupid Dream will be available in early 2006 in the form of a 2 disc set containing a remixed and remastered stereo CD, and a 5.1 surround sound DVDA. The 5.1 disc also contains surround sound mixes of "Ambulance Chasing" and the...
The following were listed to be released at one time or another as seen on line or in interviews with the artists. What happened? Does anyone know? Is there any hope or should we forget about it? Steely Dan - remainder of albums The Who - Quadrophenia Talking Heads - Remains in Light...
Got my copy today too from Amazon-UK. I agree with the other reviewers - absolutely stunning. Just as the CD was the cutting-edge of incredible clarity, this is too, only in 5.1 surround. I was surprised for the better that the surrounds were as active as they are - things coming out of the blue...
Thanks Manus for backing me up on the 5.1 mix. Whatever that other dude was hearing is beyond me. Obviously, he begs to differ with the experts voting on the Surround Music Awards in 2004, who gave In Absentia the Best Surround Mix of the Year (Non Orchestral). He also must be saying Elliott...
I too recently just got into Porcupine Tree. I too am amazed by this band and shocked that they have not made it big yet. The DVD-Audio of In Absentia is of benchmark quality, on par with the sound quality of Pink Floyd's Dark Side in SACD. The layers of sound, the production, mix and effects...
I have the DIRECTV HD package as well as having an antenna in my attic for local network channels in HD. I don't get NBC or ABC that well via the antenna. Late last year, I requested DIRECTV to obtain a waiver from my local NBC affiliate so I could get the HD feed via DIRECTV - no problem - I...
Here is my 2 cents: 1. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery (DVD-A) 2. David Bowie - Heathen (SACD) 3. Deep Purple - Machine Head (DVD-A) 4. Allan Holdsworth - All Night Wrong (SACD) 5. Weather Report - Mysterious Traveler (SACD)
I just picked up Allan Holdsworth's "All Night Wrong" on line on SACD, imported from Japan for about $40.00. If you are a Holdsworth fan, it is definitely worth the cash. If you are an audiophile, love jazz fusion or great sounding live music in high resolution, than this is something you...
Freddy Kruger is available. Really guys, this is an act of desperation by the remaining members. Freddie Mercury will be rolling in his grave if they tour with Paul Rogers, whose better days are long past too. What I am going to see next - The Jimi Hendrix Experience with Lenny Kravitz on guitar...
I'd watch it when it comes to buying stuff off of BMG. I remember when I was a member that their CD's were the "rejected" kind that was not distributed to record store retailers and the like. In other words, the SACD's from BMG may not be up to the critical standards you want with SACD. There is...
I love the multi-channel SACD and DVD-A stuff. However, the new releases are coming out slower and slower and it is discouraging. What seems to be the deal with this? There are so many titles, old and new, that would sound incredible with the new formats. When I listen to CDs now, it is a downer...
Thank G_D!!! These guys were the velveetas of watered-down rock. Scott Sapp thought he was G_D. If I have to hear that guy sing like he has marbles in his mouth again I will puke. They were rip-offs of better bands that preceded them. Sales don't equal talent - does Brittany Spears, Spice Girls...
