Automatically, I was shown the lyrics to the opening track, Death On Two Legs. In this case, from the menu screen we get the following choices: TRACKS, VIDEO, GALLERY, LYRICS, CREDITS, DTS STORY, and AUDIO OPTIONS.Īfter choosing the DTS 5.1 Digital Surround option from the AUDIO screen, the first thing I did was listen to the tracks. I got more than I bargained for, and I’m not even set up for DVD-audio yet! I listened to the DTS 5.1 track that plays on any DVD player-in this case, my Pioneer DV-414.ĭon’t forget, this is DVD-Audio we’re talking about, so we’re treated to some visuals along with our audio. Instead, I approached this familiar album looking for a more enjoyable and much improved listening experience. This is probably the best surround mix for music I’ve ever heard, and that includes Alan Parsons On Air DTS and the Steely Dan concert DVD.Ī Night At the Opera is a popular title from the 70’s and is responsible for such memorable hits as “You’re My Best Friend” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I couldn’t just sit down and pretend I’ve never heard it before. Let me tell you, this disc is worth the wait. I’m sure there are others, but I know that the creative instrumentals and vocals of these bands would provide some unique listening experiences in 5.1Īfter a delay, the much anticipated Queen title, A Night At The Opera, makes its way into music stores in April. My personal short list of Pop/Rock groups that, to me, have real potential in the digital surround sound realm include (in no particular order) Pink Floyd, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, pre-‘80’s Genesis and Queen. Keep in mind that most of my radio listening and concert going occurred from the mid 70’s and through the 80’s. When 5.1 channel surround sound music mixes first made their way onto the scene, there were several bands that came to mind that I felt could truly benefit from the extra discreet channels.
