MEANWHILE, IN MERE 5.1…
THE BEATLES ‘LOVE’
he stereo mix of ‘Love’ has never quite convinced, Giles Martin’s mash-ups sounding sometimes contrived and constricted. The Cirque du Soleil show itself used surround sound with speakers in every seat back, and given the additional space of 5.1 the surround mix from the DVD in the two-pack release is a riveting listen. It’s nicely and , then a more binary presentation for the earlier songs, the music kept in the forward soundstage with screaming to the rear, then building back up to some truly immersive mixes where the experimental mashing of different tunes brings delight rather than alarm. It’s a cert that you’ll never have enjoyed so much.
