I'm a big bjork fan - I'm also a big fan of the higher fidelity DVD Audio format and remastered CD sound (although some remasters are atrocious) - so I thought this disc was a great buy.
From an audiophile (sound quality) perspective it's frustrating that the DVD side the lacks true DVD-Audio using MLP (Meridian Lossless) which is superior to the Dolby and DTS surround sound provided here. My computer was happy to read the DVD side but reports the surround sound as 48/24 for both Dolby and DTS not the 96/24 claimed. The CD remastering is fine - although not a noticeable difference from the original release which was mastered with CD in mind. Overall ... a bit disappointing.

Great purchase!!
The DTS track is amazing, Though I didi't like the dualdisc thing (very difficult to take out of the case)every penny on this was really worth.

Buy it!

Bjork's Debut album is re-mastered in surround specifically for this release. She presents this album, some of her other album's are also available, in Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround. (96/24 bit) Because this is a Hybrid disc it can also be enjoyed by anyone with a CD player, but I would recommend that you listen to the surround side for superior sound quality and a better experience. Bjork puts you in the middle of the song by fully utilizing the surround speakers and the impressive sound quality. I highly recommend this to anyone interested.
