Multi channel music recommendations
Hi all, i am looking for some recommendation of music to listen too that is multichannel (sacd, dvd-A, DD or DTS). My interests (for multi channel) are mostly electronica like jean michael jarre and tangerine dream. I also liked Dire straits 'money for nothing' and War of the worlds. Not really interested in concert/Live recordings or classical.
Thanks
Steve

For TD there isn't much tbh. I think Rubycon on SACD is the only one thus far.

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
I enjoy the 5.1 DTS on Steely Dan's Everything Must Go, but then Becker n' Fagen can do no wrong in this house.

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
Hi, Dark Side of the Moon on SACD is excellent. Shame about the limited availability of material. regards stasis.

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
If you want to listen to 5.1 at it's best try any of the Porcupine Tree stuff. Most of their music was produced and recorded with 5.1 in mind right from the start and it shows.

isn't that only in stereo, though
I'll second Beatles LOVE and all Porcupine Tree releases
5.1 electronica
ERA - Greatest hits SACD (this is like Enigma)
BT - This Binary Universe DVD-V
John Michel Jarre - Aero.
not heard these two but apparently they are good
Tipper - Surrounded
Crystal Method - Legion of Boom
for extremely minimalist ambient electronica
Bass Communion has a DVD-A and another coming out soon
Other rock issues
Rush's new album is in MVI format with a 5.1 mix
Favourite surround mixes
Roxy Music - Avalon
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Porcupine Tree (All of 'em)
Steely Dan - Everything Must Go
Blue Man Group - Audio
take a look at AIX Records too
I know you don't want concerts - but JMJ has this JMJ in China which is quite good - it was performed in surround. And the Porcupine Tree Arriving Somewhere live DVD has an awesome surround mix on top of great sonics.

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
I'd definately recommend The Beatles "Love" DVD-A. Like so many others, I'm totallt bowled over by Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon SACD. Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" SACD is also incredible.
Not one for live music recordings either, I would recommend though you try to get a copy of Kraftwerk's Minimum:Maximum Live SACD. It's such a pity that there aren't some Tangerine Dream examples, Ricochet in h-res (preferably MCH) is just what this album is crying out for. Now that's another live album that I rate very highly. How about Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells 2003 DVD-A.
I can highly recommend Tomita's The Planets 2003 DVD-A, and Kitaro's Daylight:Moonlight Live SACD.
Good luck in your search!

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
The Altogether by Orbital was made as a 5.1 album from the ground up and is available on DVD . lots of trippy visuals and hidden extras on the isc and a 5.1 version of the Doctor
Some of the jarre albums are good to. Theres a really strage track on his latest album thats awesome in 5.1

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
I haven't listened to it yet, but can't wait to get home and listen to Sigur Rós' Heima DVD in 5.1 DTS, which was waiting in my 'intray' this morning

Tubular Bells is pretty good in SACD.

Re: Multi channel music recommendations
Pink Flodys SACD is good but the DVD A of the Alan Parsons 4.1 mix is the best
Also good is the wish you were here and animals dts copies
Bjork Vespertine and Nirvana nevermind DTS copies are good as well.
I agree there is not enough surround music out there but just type in dts or 5.1 on Pirate Bay and you get a few results ,my DTS collection now numbers 21 albums
