Favorite Multi-Channel Recordings (SACD and DVD-A)

The Pink Floyd thread got me wondering if there were any others out there that any of you recommended... I currently only can listen to DVD-A because I don't have a 5.1 input on my receiver (DVD-A also includes a DVD-Video quality 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS track for playback on normal DVD players - no special equipment needed.) I only have a few but one problem I'm running into is that finding what titles are out there is really a pain in the neck! Nearly all of the titles I've found are via word of mouth. My collection is very limited, but here is my start:

1) Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth (most recent CD) available as a "DualDisc) meaning that on one side is a CD layer you play in your CD player but if you flip it over, you get a DVD-A that will play in both normal DVD players (Dolby Digital) or in DVD-Audio players (uncompressed 5.1 audio).

2) Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (DualDisc format AND SACD). I only have the DualDisc version but the SACD includes a bunch of rare tracks.

3) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (SACD commercially and DVD-A via bootleg)

4) The Flaming Lips - Yoshi

5) The Beatles - Love (both this and Yoshi will be at my door soon so I can comment on them, but both get 5 star reviews)

6) 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). The UK version is the one to get as long as you can play PAL discs and have a region free player (or NOT a region 1 player! )

There are a bunch in my wish list like The Doors - LA Woman but I can't comment on them yet..

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!
