I've been an APP fan for over 35 years. I'll definitely be adding this to my collection.

Alan Parsons Project, still going after all these years. I grew up with this music.

Eve, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Eye in the Sky, Pyramid, The Turn of a Friendly Card, Vulture Culture, Stereotomy, Gaudi, I Robot and those are just the ones I remember.

I think I will have to get this!

Got my copy today. I give it 4 out if 5 stars. Cheap too, $13. Definitely a great addition to my music library.

Is it in discrete surround sound?

What's the music like?

I've listened to the first 4 tracks and IMHO there isn't as big sound field like I was expecting with the 5.1 DTS-HD. It sounds okay but there doesn't seem to be as much separation as I was hoping for.

Sound is decent but not mind blowing, I kind of expected more from AP being the 'legendary' engineer he is.
Pretty satisfied with the song selection, they make great use of the Philharmonic orchestra. The vocalists, none of which are the originals, do a pretty solid job. The drummer is very good but seems to be buried in the mix.
It is hard to complain at the price $13. I would've paid twice that and still been satisfied so to me it's a great value.
