I recently brought the Aqualung Quadradicc on ebay (some dill listed it just after new year and I got it for a song, $13 US). The sound was great and I noticed it had a different sounding mix and this spured me to search for the MP3's to download and as I have some 18 copies of Aqualung I felt I was within my rights to do so. To my amazement I ended up finding Aqualung and Thick as a Brick in Dolby DTS 5.1 format WAV files. I was somewhat sceptical as I had never heard of such a release either official or not. The result was rather dramatic to say the least with vocals from the centre speaker, bass form the sub and varying instruments from the other 4 speakers. These may only be played on a 5.1 system otherwise all you hear is white noise. The Brick one sounds like the MFSL gold disc and the Aqualung one is the 25th anniversary version with the extra tracks. All I can say is WOW.

Thanks for that Slipstream. I reckon Tootull is the person to comment on this particular issue and I'd certainly look forward to reading his comments and I expect others would as well.

dts - Stand Up, Aqualung, & Thick As A Brick are all available in 5.1. WarChild dts 4.0 quad, too. All are "fun". There's also a 5.1 Benefit which I have not heard.

Pleased to read Slipstream's use of 'Dill' as an adjective...I thought I was alone in the world using 'dill' to describe all things dill.

www.rhythms.com.au/features/default,id,20319.aspx Ian Anderson's just confirmed that Aqualung is being remixed in 5.1 to be released as a collector's edition this year! And it looks like Thick as a Brick will follow next year!
