Default Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality

Anyone own any of these titles from Surround Records?


Spatial Dynamics - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [HD DVD]


Space or Dream of Life - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [HD DVD]


Mysterious Aqua - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [HD DVD]


The Way To Paradise - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality [HD DVD]

The studio has a couple of other titles out including Jazz Standards, Bach, Mozart, etc. I'm looking at an eBay auction for the 4 titles listed for $49.99 Buy it Now price with free shipping, which is a pretty good deal as they're $18.95 - $20.95 each on Amazon. DTS-HD MA audio with 1080p video of images - Space or Dream of Life is supposed to have some really good photos from the Hubble Telescope. Never seen anyone comment on them. From Amazon customer reviews, it seems like you either love them or hate them.

If anyone is interested, the eBay auction is running until 1:30 Pacific Time this afternoon, with 8 batches of the 4 titles available.

EDIT: Guess I'll find out, I bought a set.

Since I see you bought a set let me know how it turns out. I was about 15 seconds from buying them and then was distracted by the fact that the site was in English...

आप बहुत अधिक समय खर्च पर विदेशी वेब साइट!

Hindi via Google Translate for: You are spending too much time on foreign web sites!

PS - I hear there's some great coming out in Hindi.

I'm fairly sure I've seen that Spatial Dynamics 3-D Sound disc at Fry's in the HD-DVD section. I believe it was $25 though so I passed.

I own all their releases except Mysterious Aqua & all are pure audio demo material.

Even Uncommon Bach.

I own "Spatial Dynamics" and "Space or Dream of Life". Had to import these from the US because I'm pretty sure these weren't available here in Canada (or as far as I know they weren't). I've never really heard too much of this electronic music before, but it wasn't that bad actually. I enjoyed it for the most part.
I have to say though I like "Space or Dream of Life" more*. All the music in it seemed to flow better in my opinion. The space photography in it wasn't that bad either. There were some terrific 1080P looking shots, while others didn't look so hot (some were fuzzy, a bit outta focus, some compression issues). I wish that there weren't 10-15 second delays between each photo either. I was expecting some faster cuts between these and fading into the next photo. It sort of felt like the 'video' work was a bit rushed, but remember this is mainly an audio experience, and a darn good one it is. Surround use is immaculate. Crystal clear audio. Very 3-dimensional. A fascinating audio experience**.





* - Although "Spatial Dynamics" was pretty decent as well

** - Everything I said about the audio/video up there goes the same with "Spatial Dynamics"

Thanks for the Feedback, mine shipped today so I'll post my impressions when received.

BTW, if you click that eBay auction link in my OP, and the "View Sellers Other Items", they continually run auctions at pretty good prices for their titles. And it looks like the seller is Surround Studios directly, my shipping notice reads:

Shipped From:
