Steven Wilson is still one of the masters of surround sound, and he demonstrates this right out of the gate on Drums and Wires. As the opening track "Making Plans for Nigel" kicks in the drums beat from the rear channels and progress to the front channels as the rest of the band comes in. Guitars reverberate from the front right channel to the rears, while the accent secondary vocals "wha-hoo" from the back left channel. There is good use of the surround channels throughout the album, but the primary energy of the mixed is focused up front, a common multi-channel mixing style for Wilson. 

This Blu-Ray edition particularly is a virtual boxed set on a single disc, containing well over 100 separate tracks, with the additional material being drawn from single A+B-sides, instrumental mixes, demos, rehearsal tapes, and promo videos, all in high resolution.

Dit is dus de BluRay met vele extra's!
Voor de fans.

De DTS.wav zal ik apart rippen en posten.

Have fun.
