Oh go on, I'll follow it up with "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac in 5.1 on DVD-A.
Another perfect surround sound mix!

"The Last Resort" is an incredible song, and the perfect ending to Hotel California.

You can tell I got this one second hand...the packaging is in a bit of a rough state but the format specific cases are difficult to replace 🤣

I'm a little under the weather today so running a bit late on my daily lunchtime surround sound album, but now sitting back and enjoying "Hotel California" by The Eagles in 5.1 on DVD-A.
A nice full enveloping mix that puts you right in the middle of everything.

I was totally wrong when I said that DVD-A players just play the audio...turns out that's just how the first disc I picked up to test it worked. Of the 6 discs I own only one of them works that way, while the others all have a display of some sort, always different to the regular DVD-V layer.

DVD-A players can play DVD-A discs in MLP lossless 5.1, while regular DVD players present them in regular lossy DTS or Dolby 5.1. This is the first time I've had a player that can handle the DVD-A MLP side of the format.

Back to Queen today with the title and format that introduced me to surround sound music; "A Night at the Opera" in 5.1 on DVD-Audio.
A good mix, but a bit bright, lacking bass.

And since I've lost a lot this year between moving here and AI attracting more and more customers away from my other freelance businesses, don't forget that you can support this account on Patreon. 🙏
By promoting all the great projects, big and small, on a daily basis, I almost forget to promote my own. 😁
Over the past three years, between too many posts and social media relocations, I have gradually assembled a rather nice resource on sci-fi creation.
It's starting to look like something. ☝️

I've never heard the Dark Side of the Moon quad mix...wasn't it done by Alan Parsons? Or did they reject his mix and do their own? I remember there being some sort of drama with the mix.
On a related note I'm expecting my Blu Ray Audio copy of The Alan Parsons Project "I Robot" to turn up today!

While most surround sound music enthusiasts are probably spending their weekend with the brand new 50th anniversary Blu Ray edition of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" I'm just sitting back with my morning coffee and enjoying my 2011 5.1 SACD.
Pink Floyd are masters at mixing music for surround.
