I don't like any of the vocals on Sleep Dirt. I like Lather.

i've made a drastic 180 on the 5.1 DVD-A thing. I used to not care and Douchemonger's relentless babbling about it kinda turned me off to it but within the last couple of years I have really gotten into listen to a lot 5.1/surround sound mixed stuff. Quad mixes also. There are a shit load of 70's quad LPs that people have converted and are able to be burned to DVD. Pink Floyd DSOTM although 1,000,000x over played has a whole new life in it's quad mix, it's amazingly different. It blew me away. Pink Floyd WYWH was also amazing.
The newly released 40th anniversary King Crimson 5.1/DTS sets are also great. The Genesis ones are cool too.
I would LOVE the Over-nite and Apostrophe (') quad mixes to be released officially in 5.1 or even 4.1 surround. I do have the Apostrophe quad LP converted and it's cool!!
I'm more into the
music than the
audio quality of the music which seems to be your focus. I can appreciate a good performance even if it is not a great recording. 5.1 doesn't make me drool. King Crimson in 5.1 is a waste of my money. The quad mix of Dark Side Of The Moon is not
that different from the original. Unless you are into placebos.
It's a shame that after you listened to the King Crimson 5:1 remixes, you felt that you had wasted your money, but from my pespective having, say, the flute in the rear speakers, and the sax in the front speakers, makes it alot easier (for me) to hear exactly what the flute is doing. I find I can appreciate all the different musical sounds better in 5:1, than when they are all crammed into 2 speakers.
Mind you, there are lots of other groups I wouldn't pay extra for 5:1 sound. You gotta want it, to like it, I guess.
