Since I got my SACD (DVD) player, I have gotten 5 SACDs. I am not
impressed with the surround sound on any of them. Aside from the two
Living Stereo discs, I have the Dvorak 6th (LSO Live), Mozart Requiem
(DHM), and Rachmaninoff 2nd symphony (Channel Classics). None of these
show any rear channel ambience. Can anyone recommend some discs that DO
use the rear channels effectively for ambience? (I know that the Living
Stereos are only 3 channel or 2 channel).

Stay away from the Dark Side of the Moon SACD. Norah Jones' albums on
SACD sound quite good, as do Patricia Barber, if you're into her.
Mobile Fidelity's jazz albums are very decent, too.

Hope that helps.

Why stay away from Dark side of the Moon SACD?

I guess it's not 'surroundy' enough. I've seen some quadrophonic
fans espouse the same opinion. THey prefer the more aggressive
Alan Parsons surround mix from the quad days.
