I'm really glad to have the AHM quad mix in digital format from the master tapes. Here's a video of what it might have looked like. Supposedly, Stanley Kubrick wanted to use ATM in A Clockwork Orange, but the band refused. Anyway, this box set is an improvement on the previous Immersion sets and I'm really getting a lot of enjoyment from it. On the first volume, the quality of the Scarecrow video in vivid color is amazing! I only wish there was more of Syd. It's great to see all the members looking so cheerful and having such a great time together. I've been going through the videos in the box set and having a ball with this psychedelic period of their output. The fidelity is very good, warm and full with plenty of bass. The Quad mix has an organic, hands-on feel to it, which I really like. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast's quirkiness is wonderfully done. There is active panning going on through much the album. I also like how Gilmour's guitar solo comes in the rears and moves around. The Quad mix uses the surrounds effectively to separate the orchestra/chorus from the band in the opening track. Personally, I like the music, and really dig the orchestral & chorus aspects. I'm thrilled to have the Quad mix of this album in Hirez.
