Depeche Mode - PICK ANY! They're in the process of releasing their entire back catelog in 5.1! In the USA, you get a remastered CD along with a DVD that includes video and mini-documentaries (exclusive to each CD) AND a 5.1 mix that plays on any DVD player. In the UK version, you get a SACD that has a CD layer on the other side + you get the DVD (but in PAL).


Yeah I really like Depeche Mode. Some of their 80s stuff (Music for the Masses for example) was recorded in low rez digital though so I wonder what sonic benefit there would be for those tracks over CD aside from 5.1?

Billy Joel's The Stranger in SACD is pretty good. The Police's Every Breath You Take on dual layer CD/SACD is also good, but they employ some distracting noise reduction on Can't Stand Losing You on both the CD and SACD.

The Pink Floyd Dark Side DVD-A was a good find as well. Thanks for that!
