I went through a period where I was upset about Pink Floyd breaking up and did not care what Roger Waters was doing, so I missed this when it came out. I was in Portland at Echo Audio and the owner Kurt used a vinyl copy to demo a $100K system they put together and it was amazing.
The opening cut, the The Ballad of Bill Hubbard completely blew me away. There is a dog barking near the beginning and I could have sworn that the sound was coming from behind me. Jeff Beck's guitar playing on this cut is sublime.
I was afraid that system would ruin my enjoyment of my system and that I would go home and be terribly disappointed, but that same track sounded _almost_ as good on my system (thankfully). Whatever they did with that Q Sound, it really worked on that album.
