I discovered upon opening this product that it is a BD-R (recordable blu-ray disc), not a factory pressed disc as it should be. This is not noted anywhere in the listing or on the case. I was doubly disappointed when the disc would not play in either of my players (one year old Sony with updated firmware) and a brand new Panasonic. I thus can't rate the content but as it's on a cheaper recordable medium, I give it one star. I think you'd better advised to get one of the other discs of this type.

FULL ON SCAM, OF SOME PERSON SMOKING WEED AND PLAYING HIS WEAK SOUNDING KEYBOARD. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO A PRESCHOOL MUSICAL FOR BETTER SOUND REALITY. THIS WILL GET PULLED FROM SALE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A BLU-RAY DISK IT IS JUST A DVD-R IN AVCHD FORMAT THAT ANY ONE CAN MAKE AT HOME WITH A BLUE BOX AND COPIED PAPER COVER...I'VE JUST HIT A QUADRUPLE WHAMMY OUCH....

Not only is this disc not factory pressed, my PS3 won't even recognize it, which can only mean that the data is corrupted. I paid a total of $38 ($16 go for the shipping taxes and delivery charges through Aramex as I live abroad) expecting an interesting experience. I got one alright, it's just not what I had in mind. Avoid this product at all costs.

Do not buy this. It does not work. I tried it in my laptops BluRay drive with Win7 and it did not work, I tried it in a friends PS3 and it did not work!!

Some of the other reviews stated this will not work in a PS3 and that is not correct. This disc WILL infact work on a PS3 system but the audio sample is downscaled to 6.1 audio (DTS ES) and 48khz. If this does not bother you, then stop reading and buy this disc.

The real question is why does this not play on so many BD players in the native DTS-HD Master Audio codec? I have tried this disc in four players that I have in my home (all fairly new some higher end than others) and it will not work in 3 of them. However, my Samsung BD-C6500 it will work but the audio stutters and it's almost as if the VBR of the disc is lagging the system down? This is the first time I have experienced this issue.

I really want to give this a 4 or a 5 and I really would like to enjoy it but it's just not possible, unless you're willing to accept down-scaled audio. I have tried many settings, just to see if I can get it to work but to no avail. Be weary of this title as I think there has been some quality control issues with the recent batch of these discs made. Personally I feel there is a problem with the codec used, I have other DTS-HD MA 7.1 96khz recordings that work just fine, why is this disc/title plagued with problems?

Hopefully this review will help other potential buyers looking for a good lossless audio escape, which is what this disc is meant to be.

I receive this "Blu ray" today. and doesnt work; i cant play on my two Blue Players. i have a samsung BDP-1500 (with the latest firmware) and BDP-5000 (also with the latest Firmware) i have more that 100 BDs and this is the first BD that i cant play.

This disc wouldn't play consistently in a high end Bluray player (with the latest firmware) or a PS3. I don't presume to be an expert on Bluray disc manufacture, but there seems to be something not quite right with this one.

What I could listen to didn't impress me much, either. It was very repetitive, and some strange choices of sounds and sound placement made it overall more annoying than enjoyable.

This will be a great disappointment to all Blu-ray enthusiasts! Sound and video (stills only) is so poor, it's even recorded only on a standard recordable Blu-ray media. All of it's series are the same quality, a DISAPPOINTMENT!

Bought it - returned it. Would not play on either of my Bluray players.

this album is absolutely amazing. after 3 weeks of owning it i still put it on nearly every night, to take my imagination places i never thought existed, and to experience strange emotions. i think the reason for this is that the surround sounds on this album are ones you have never heard before.

i agree with another reviewer who said this album is simply 'a traveling through space in a ship of music' and that not many people will 'get' it at first; but keep listening. if i ever need to get away, putting this album on the player fills my head with strong imagery - as i listen to the final track right now, my mind is in a far off place, with a sense of complete isolation. many of the tracks carry this feeling, or that of being helpless, or of having lost someone or something, and not being able to find them. for me, no other album since has offered anything to compete with the sheer visual and dreamlike nature of this one.

you must buy this album! and listen to it alone late at night...
