Hello all.

Haven't heard anyone else speak of it, so I thought I'd throw out a =
mention.  I got my copy today which I purchased on eBay.  Had looked at =
all the local mall stores, but no luck.  Was chagrined to see that the =
one I got has a drillhole through the UPC, which means to me that =
they're already cutouts?!?  They don't seem to have even made it into =
the stores, and they're already cutouts?  Maybe mine was one of the =
promo ones and they'll be in the stores soon, even though they've been =
out for two weeks?  Let's hope.

Anyways, on to the music.  I purchased a Kenwood Home Theater System a =
couple weeks back partially in preparation of listening to this disc, =
which was a bit bothersome to my wife, but what can you do?  The sound =
is incredible.  Have not listened to the whole disc yet, but the best =
mix out of the first or five songs seems to me to be Golden Age.  The =
percussion so well isolated in the surrounds, Peter up front and center, =
the guitars in the left and right, just incredible!  Listened to the =
normal CD version of Golden Age right after, and the difference was =
immense.  I would highly suggest people who have the 5.1 systems =
necessary to enjoy the disc to obtain a copy, well worth the trouble.

I also have to note that the excitement of the great sound is tempered =
soewhat by the fact that this will be what I assume is the one and only =
DTS CD from the Oils, since they have changed from who we have known =
them as since the base album was released.  But we all know that, so =
I'll just move on.  Has anyone else gotten their hands on a copy of the =
DTS Capricornia, and if so, what are your opinions?

Take care,
Pete
