When i did my release of the album i used the remastered version first, and gave up. Horrible. After re-doing it with the original release i finally heard what Alan's mix, and those that have heard it have been amazed how good decoded UHJ can be,.
I have an old CD of this album which seems to be genuine UHJ encoded. One of the tracks on the album has a brief synthesised harp sound which pans from front left towards the listener (in the middle of the square) past the tip of your nose and curves away again towards the front right, all in one smooth arc if you like. Very impressive for basic 2 channel UHJ and only 4 speakers I thought. The integrity of the UHJ encoding may well be lost if the re mastering was done with no regard to the surround presentation but I have not listened to a re mastered version.

Does that mean that all CDs of this album will be encoded in UHJ or can that be lost in the mastering somehow? Thanks, -- Bearcat M.
