Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (DVD-A)
I've never gotten the hype with this band. Not that their music is bad, but rather it's kinda bland IMO. I will say that the surround mix and the production values do draw you in. Anyone who likes this album and has DTS in their home theater set up should buy this disc, whether or not you have a DVD-A player. The DTS track sounds nearly as good as the hi-rez 5.1 track. If you have a stereo-only set up forget it. I read that they only made the stereo mix 16-bit because there wasn't enough room on this disc for a hi-rez stereo track. I don't see myself buying any more PT albums (regardless of format) but I don't regret picking this one up.

Super Furry Animals - Rings Around The World (DTS DVD)
Wow! This sounds great. Who needs DVD-A or SACD with sonics this good? I also have Phantom Power on DTS DVD and while over all it sounds pretty good, there isn't as much mid-bass as on the CD version (there's plenty of deep bass however). They got the tonal balance right on this one though and I like the music much, much more than Porcupine Tree.

I won't bore y'all with the other stuff I listened to. Just listing the new (ehem) stuff this week.
