Anyone heard the new Moody Blues SACDs yet?

It is dissapointing to hear they aren't in 5.1 as the articles I had read over the last several years (it seems) indicate. In fact here is the latest press release:

I guess they are referring to the "Deluxe versions" which I'm not sure I purchased (???). I'll hold on to my MoFi versions until further notice.

Trey - only ONE of them isn't in multichannel, the rest of them are!

i'll be doing a full review of them in the upcoming weeks. i'll be covering the music, 2-channel, and multichannel mixes of each. and i'll be starting with On the Treshold. . . .

if you have any interest, see my previous review here on the 'Gon for an idea of what format i'll be using. i want to have time to get to know them intimately 1st, and i plan on doing the Depeche Mode SACDs 1st.

but fret ye not, all but one have 5.1 mixes. (although the center is sparsely used)

Thanks Lazarus,

I see now - re-reading the posts above - that it is only the one "In Search of..." that's not in 5.1. Still, I agree Legend of a Mind would have been great in 5.1 as would "The best way to travel":-)

I'm hoping they arrive soon. I was too cheap to have them ship Priority mail and went with the "media mail". I should still get them sometime this week.

I'm listening to To Our Children's right now and it is quite an improvement over the CD. I ordered it from England. It was actually less expensive from amazon uk and in stock well before the US versions.

I got my set from Amazon.UK on Friday and have been very impressed. I've mainly been sitting back and enjoying them, but I did a couple of quick comparisons on Threshhold and Children's Children of the SACD and CD layers and with my redbook Threshold, and there's no comparison -- the SACD layer of both have more depth, subtlety of tone, spatial info, pretty much better in every way. Days of Future Past is the one that has grabbed me the most in terms of sound quality so far. I've been a Moodys fan since around 1970 and have heard lots of versions of these albums and my gut impression is these are the best I've heard yet. I'm hoping if these sell well maybe SACD reissues of classic rock albums will continue at least in Europe.
