DTSE
RAISES THE BAR FOR DVD-AUDIO
NEW RELEASES HIT THE STORES APRIL 30th
Agoura Hills, CA - April 8, 2002 -- DTS Entertainment (DTSE), the
independent record label created by technology leader DTS, today announced
that two exceptional new DVD-Audio discs will arrive at retail stores on
April 30, 2002.
The highly-anticipated 5.1 remixes of Queen's legendary A Night At The
Opera will be included in an exclusive DVD-Audio version that offers 96/24
Advanced Resolution MLP 5.1 tracks for all DVD-Audio players, and
DTS-encoded 96/24 tracks for all DTS-capable 5.1 playback systems. These
new 5.1 remixes were created by surround innovator, Elliot Scheiner, along
with Queen's original producer, Roy Thomas Baker, and guitarist/co-writer
Brian May, the band's appointed representative.
Roy Thomas Baker has since revealed, "When we were recording A Night
At The Opera, we had surround sound in mind, so it's great to get to do it
now in 5.1. Quite a lot of this mix is how we imagined it in our heads
when we were recording it twenty-seven years ago."
Also arriving at stores on April 30th is Songs For Survivors, the powerful
new recording from rock legend, Graham Nash. This ground-breaking disc
marks the first time a major artist has chosen to release a 5.1 DVD-Audio
version of their new material prior to a stereo CD release.
"I wanted to place you right in the middle, just like when we cut the
record, as if you had the greatest seat that you ever had in your life,"
Graham explained. "A lot of people who listen to music would never
have such an experience, unless they were part of the band or management.
And I've always wanted to share this kind of listening experience. And the
great thing about 5.1 is how it feels to me... how it places you in that
environment. I couldn't be more thrilled with the way my 5.1 mixes
sound."
Songs For Survivors was co-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by
Nathaniel Kunkel, an extraordinarily talented Sound Engineer and Producer.
This feature-loaded DVD-Audio disc boasts menu screens that link to the
song lyrics, a gallery of photo images from his private collection,
biographies of all of the contributing musicians, links to Graham's
official website and other related sites, plus a ROM zone that is fully
compatible with all PCs and Macs.
