New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Wilson and Fripp did an exceptional job with both 2 and 5 channel mixes

...I've always thought ITCOTCK sounds light in the bass and a bit congested. The new hi-res 2-channel mix is perhaps still a bit light in the bass (especially if you're a bass player), but there are so many little things revealed with the individual wonderfully talented musicians in the midrange, that used to be a struggle to hear. There is the right amount of body, weight and detail that makes listening to these songs again fresh and new. You can hear all of it effortlessly and it can be played loud.

I doesn't make sense to even compare the multi-channel mix with any 2-channel experience regardless of mix or resolution. I am surprised how much the vocals are directed to the right rear channel, but like I said before, the type of music this is allows tossing recreation of soundstage aside and full exploitation of surround channels. I'll be sharing this with friends over the holidays, if their wives can put up with it:)

21'st Century Schizoid Man is raw and intense, as it was obviously intended to be - as is the title cut of Red. Very interesting to get multiple DVD-A releases from King Crimson, the Doors, and Neil Young within about a 1 year span. I hope to see more of the same next year.
