A pure DVD-A is highly unlikely, IMHO.

I would wager that a more likely scenario would be a DD 5.1 treatment like Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle". Maybe, just maybe, they would see fit to do a DualDisc with both DD and a real DVD-A track, but as for it being a pure DVD-A disc, I am afraid that that ship has sailed (and sunk!).

Wow, very cool. And Madonna's stuff always seems to sound good to excellent so a 5.1 mix would make such a release even more fun to listen to. I own the Immaculate Collection, Ray Of Light and Like A Virgin and would buy all of these in 5.1 form. On another forum a member said that Madonna supposedly has a directive written into her contracts concerning recording quality.

I'll second this (hopefully DTS will be included to though). With hi-res players being so tricky to set up even for many of us audio nerds, a dvd-video format would sell better I think.* And with the videos that are sure to be included, and she definitely has a lot of good ones, these would take up a lot of space anyway. And btw please don't say the word Dual-you-know-what: that frainkenstein format is almost dead so don't help renew its lifeforce by repeating its name.


* and lower priced players can be a joke: too-high/non-adjustable crossovers set at 120Hz (this is very common), no distance compensation system, etc.

I think Warner will likely do the two-disc CD/DVD-A combos for Madonna like they did for R.E.M. and Depeche Mode.

Personally, as a huge Madonna fan, I am excited. Like A Prayer has been long overdue for a remaster in and of itself

I'll be the first one in line for this. Hopefully Warner will go the route of the Bjork "Surrounded" box, which is a dual disc release, but it's absolutely beautiful.

To have not only all the songs but also the videos remastered in dolby digital and dts would be amazing.

I would love to hear "I'm Breathless" and "Ray of Light" in surround sound.

Ray of Light should sound killer. Looking forward to this

Erotica is going to benefit the best from this treatment. It’s also my favorite Madonna album.

I hope it's two-discs like the recent Depeche and REM remasters, I don't trust DualDisc
