Album in 5.1 surround sound, new & original album mixes in

Als fan van 5.1 en Steven Wilson zal ik dit zeker gaan volgen. Zijn andere remix werk met King Crimson, Jethro Tull en ELP is zeer de moeite waard.

Ik heb de cd/bd set nu twee dagen in huis. De muziek is erg lekker, kende eigenlijk alleen de Balled of peter Pumkinhead en The disappointed. De rest van de muziek is ook goed te verteren.

De geluidskwaliteit is super, kraakhelder. De mix is ook zeer goed. Veelvuldig gebruik van de rears zoals inmiddels de standaard is bij Steven Wilson.

In het bovenstaande bericht staat dat de BD in DTS MA is, er staat echter ook een LPCM audio stream op.
