Dance of Death DVD-A on March 22nd

Posted by Shadow on March 10, 2004 @ 15:33

EMI Records will release the DVDA with 5.1 surround sound specially mixed by producer Kevin Shirley and Steve Harris on 22nd March. For the Audio buffs the DVDA portion contains the album in full crystal clear Hi-definition 24-bit/96 Khz glory while fans who own DVD 5.1 home cinema set ups will be able to enjoy the album in Surround-sound in Dolby Digital or DTS. Listening to the album in this format takes it to a whole new experience level especially with tracks such as ‘Paschendale’ taking on epic proportions.

Also included on the DVDA as a bonus are two full length videos of the singles 'Wildest Dreams' and 'Rainmaker', both directed by Howard Greenhalgh and which can also be viewed accompanied by full 5.1 audio.

We will be posting details of your nearest stockists as the information comes in.

The successor to the outdated CD is DVD-Audio. The differences between CD and DVD-Audio center around word lengths and sampling rates more than fundamental differences in execution. The CD dictated word lengths of 16 bits and a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz for two-channel audio. The DVD-Audio specification, however, allows for word lengths anywhere between 16 and 24 bits, sampling rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, and a variety of channel-number options (although 24-bit/96kHz, 5.1-channel mixes will be the most common here in the early stages of DVD-A). DVD-Audio discs are similar to DVD-Video discs, and although a DVD-A's high-resolution tracks are not compatible with standard DVD-Video players, many DVD-As also offer a Dolby Digital mix that is backwards-compatible with DVD-Video players.
