I recently watched Tron:Legacy. I enjoyed the orginal so I suppose I was predisposed to this flick. The movie was cool but the soundtrack by Daft Punk was awesome. It sounded so good in surround and really blew me away.
Soooooo, I ran over to my library to pick up a copy of the 2-channel CD soundtrack. Wow, what a dissapointment. The music itself was fine but without the multi-channel presentation I just pales in comparrison to what was on the bluray. Don't get me wrong, it sounds good but it's just missing that "umph" that was on the bluray. It lacked the immersion...
I know SACD is a niche format (and for all intents and purposes DVD-Audio is dead) but a soundtrack like Tron is exactly why we need a multi-channel format.
Just my 2 cents.....
