Well done!! :-))
DVD audio is the best thing to come out since the 24 karat gold CD in sound quality. Having a home theatre is a huge plus though. Before I bought mine I played the DVD-As on analog speakers, then on digital speakers, and then on the home theatre and....WOW -- an aural orgasm! You can hear EVERYTHING, even Freddie BREATHING. I think it's the next best thing to being in a studio, the clarity is THAT awesome!
God bless Brian and Roger, the jet-lagged guys we love who are doing such a tremendous job with the musical. Maybe, just maybe, Brian will be up for that knighthood one of these days...!!

Well, I stand corrected said the man in the orthopedic shoes!!! And thank god i heard duff information! Does this mean Dark Side of the Moon will be re released on DVD-Audio?
Lisa: i agree with you 100%
ANATO on DVD-A simply blew me away even though i was using a cheap system
i could tolorate the Queen Boxset delay if they were releasing more Queen albums on the DVD-A format...
i am very disappointed that they haven't announced which album will get the DVD-A treatment...

Dark Side of the Moon is already available! One non-Queen DVD-A I adore is Fragile by Yes. It sounds so awesome next to the CD and vinyl version. Even the sound of Steve Howe's guitar pick hitting the strings of his guitar on The Fish -- OOOH!!!!
That's why I'm not-so-patiently waiting for another Queen DVD-A. Why they chose The Game as the second release isn't clear, I truly wish it had been SHA or Queen II -- think of how really beautiful Nevermore and Some Day One Day would sound! And Seven Seas of Rhye....PLEASE bring it on, Brian and Roger!! And SOON!!

I agree that The Game seemed like a bit of an odd choice for the second DVD-A, but then one has to bear in mind that it's an album that is apparently very popular within the Queen camp (probably more so than among fans).
You're totally right! I've read (some Queen website a long time ago) it's Deacy's favourite of all Queen albums. It's good but not as brill as Queen II or SHA.
I took the liberty of emailing Mr May with that question; let's see if I get a response. Most likely not since he's busy globetrotting for the musical. He and Roger must be SO jetlagged by now!!
(I read about the merchandising for the musical on his website too. OMG, it's going to be like something KISS thought up for their last tour!! AIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!)

Is Brian taking lessons from Gene Simmons? Stay tuned!! (LOL)
Exactly. Here's a comment of Reinhold Mack on that subject (though Roger isn't included in Mack's recollections, I seem to remember - from interviews and the like - that he quite liked it as well. Brian obviously still does, as his comments on the soapbox about the DVD-A have shown).
"The global result of 'The Game' was very satisfactory. John was delighted with the final appearance of the album, and Brian recognised that since 1976, when they mixed 'A Day At The Races', they hadn't done anything that good. Freddie was the one with more doubts. He wasn't unsatisfied, in fact for so long he considered Crazy Little Thing was one of his three or four best songs; but he had to make major efforts to adapt the new sound we were looking for. Years later I remember he was working for a song of 'The Miracle', an album in which I didn't participate, called Stealin', and he assured me that, seven years after 'The Game', his way of writing and arranging the tracks owed too much to the stuff we did in Munich. I feel proud of that work, it was a total of five albums we did, and they all presented a debt with 'The Game'. I can't hide it's my favourite album that I edited with Queen in which was their best era. Out of it there were also some emblematic songs that since then never were absent of each one of their concerts, like Another One Bites The Dust and Crazy Little Thing."

Is Mack still producing albums? It sounds like he was a little unhappy he "didn't participate" on The Miracle, and what a shame too! I think he did Queen a lot of good on the ones he did produce.
You would think John would have liked Jazz better because a lot of his more lyrical/sentimental songs were featured. The Game was more successful commercially, not to mention AOBTD charted on three different types (Hot 100, Dance and R & B), something no other British group could attest to besides the Stones!

Err...Mack died back in Oct/Nov 2002, I believe. Definitely.
Peace,

I didn't know that, either. Are you sure you don't confuse him with Mike Stone ?
I'm sure I have the date wrong. But he definitely died because, Brian was hoping to mix The Game dvda with him and he had died some time before. Again, dates escape me.
Peace,
Adam.
