Jean Michel Jarre's latest album.

[OBonio]

Has anyone purchased the latest Jean Michel Jarre album?  Is it honestly done in 5.1 surround sound?  Does it work well?  Is it just remastered oldies or is there new material?

Aero is Jean Michel Jarre's first experiment in 5.1 surround sound as well as being the most respectable "best of" album in 13 years. The album features reworked versions of his golden oldies and three new pieces. The result of the new orchestration is a modern-sounding remix album, rather than a definitive greatest hits.  Whether it works well depends upon your equipment and how you have set it up (speaker positions etc)

I really don't know why that happpened

I'm tempted by it, but the move from stereo to 5.1 seems like a strange idea for music.  Obviously it works for film...  First I best invest in a surround sound system I guess :o)

Yep the stereo has to be up to scratch to get full enjoyment from the sound quality
