Okay, after reading some of the reviews I was excited that this might be the disk to show off the sound system. I was assuming (and you know what happens when you do that) that this would be something along the "jazzy" or easy listening genre. I listened to to the first 5 or 6 tracks and was very disappointed. The "music" is different artists and a very artistic approach to a colaboration of noises. Granted they are nicely mixed in 5.1 surround, and do take advantage of the different channels, but NOT entertaining.

Obviuosly everyone has their own tastes, and for comparision, I listen to everything but country. I returned the disk and took the heavy restocking fee, but something is better than nothing, as I would never listen to this again.

I never knew my speakers could sound so good. This DVD audio was a real treat. Thank you Starkland.

I wish the reviewer who said he threw this out would have given it to me. I will be buying more for friends. A beautiful DVD Audio. Innovative, brillantly done.

This DVD-audio came in handy. I cracked another DVD-audio disk case, and transfered the cover art, and disk over to this case. I then threw out this disk.

this dvd audio disc is absolutly the best.on the market.
if your looking for 5.1 that works this is it....
the production is just incredible and the 5.1 mix is just amazing.these composers are just wizards at what they do.
buy this dvd audio,you will thank me later.

If you want to test or supply your 5.1 DVD Audio system with background music, this will do the job. That said, its eclectic nature isn't something I will develop a longing for.

At first it seemed interesting even if drastically non-traditional, but as each track went on and on it seemed to descened more and more into a cacaphony of grating random noise that hurt my ears. I cannot even stand to listen to the whole thing in one sitting unless I turn the volume way down... Definitely was a waste of my money. Everyone's different so you may like this kind of thing but please beware and don't waste money like I did.

Though some of it is interesting, only 2 of the tracks could probably be called music.
The rest is just noise in surround.
This is just my opinion, but music is usually defined by time and rythm. Most of these tracks have neither.
I just got into the medium a few weeks ago and Sting's Brand New Day is DTS is amazing. I got goosebumps.
Some of the Immersion tracks made me cringe.

I ordered this for my birthday. The "music" (hah!) is terrible. If you love more esoteric modern "classical" music, this may be what you've been waiting for. Otherwise, please save your money, and don't listen to reviews from home theater/hi-fi magazines.
