Blindamood 08-03-07, 09:24 AM Probably not. I've got Outlandos D’Amour, and it is two-channel only. I don't think they ever did a surround mix of the early Police stuff. If they did, I'd definitely want it! JasonColeman 08-03-07, 10:35 AM Nope, all the old stuff is 2-channel. J. konoyaro 08-03-07, 01:28 PM The only way to hear studio renditions of older tracks in 5.1 SACD is to pick up a copy of Every Breath You Take: The Classics. The individual studio albums are in two channel only, unfortunately. kenny44 08-04-07, 07:53 AM Nope, all the old stuff is 2-channel. J. How come the elton john stuff is in multichannel?same era ,no? jeffrey r 08-04-07, 08:15 AM How come the elton john stuff is in multichannel?same era ,no? He must have meant all the Police "old stuff" is in 2-channel. There is plenty of other "old stuff" in surround, including Elton John, Grateful Dead, Clapton, etc. kenny44 08-04-07, 09:14 AM He must have meant all the Police "old stuff" is in 2-channel. There is plenty of other "old stuff" in surround, including Elton John, Grateful Dead, Clapton, etc. thats what i dont understand.Why would the police have not included multichannel-its gotta be a big selling point(having said that,i ordered zenyatta mondatta anyway,always liked that album) jeffrey r 08-04-07, 07:34 PM Believe me, I wish they were in multichannel. But alas, they are not, and I never bought them. But I do have the Police greatest hits SACD in surround, and that's something at least. sivadselim 08-04-07, 08:42 PM thats what i dont understand.Why would the police have not included multichannel-its gotta be a big selling point(having said that,i ordered zenyatta mondatta anyway,always liked that album)Probably because whoever produced them rushed them through, production-wise, to get them on the shelves when SACD was just taking off and didn't want to spend the money or the time to remix them as 5.1. konoyaro 08-05-07, 01:41 AM Releasing a legacy title in surround is a bit more costly and time consuming than only doing a 2 channel SACD release. Peter Gabriel (and the Stones) also released his back catalog in 2 channel SACD. I think both the Police and Peter Gabriel would have benefited from releasing hybrid disks with surround mixes in the US. Instead we got 2 channel SACD only in the US. Pity... buc18 08-05-07, 06:27 PM Releasing a legacy title in surround is a bit more costly and time consuming than only doing a 2 channel SACD release.

Ah but Peter Gabriel's Up was released in hi rez multi-channel and it is absolutely amazing in my opinion. In my top 5 surround list for sure. konoyaro 08-07-07, 01:23 AM Agreed - Up is great, especially in surround. But I can just imagine how PG's "Melt" or "Security" would sound given a similar treatment. Also, I think Synchronicity and Ghost In The Machine would be taken to the next level if presented in 5.1. :-) sivadselim 08-07-07, 02:51 AM Also, I think Synchronicity and Ghost In The Machine would be taken to the next level if presented in 5.1. :-) Invisible Sun :eek: |
