Just placed my order. The DVD sounds like it would be interesting. Thanks for the reminder!

Yep, I pre-ordered from elusive last week. Can not wait.

What is going to be on the DVD?

I played my CD set a couple of days ago -- for the first time in ages -- and had forgotten how reverberent the recording of the instrumental sections is. The voices are fine (if pretty close) but I found some of the instrumental sounds very hard and even verging on distortion at times can only hope that the DSD remastering will "soften" the sound a little.

I also remember noting when I first played it that, after the Martians had died, the acoustic surrounding Burton's voice seemed to disappear and it became drier. Was that intentional, or another "take"?

Thanks, Stephen. I should have gone to the trouble of reading it before.

I just saw an advert for this on TV. Disappointingly there was no mention of SACD at all. Suppose I shouldn't be too suprised really.

July's Mojo Magazine has an article on the making of the album, with the participation of Jeff Wayne. Lots of cool pics too.
