my Dad had a quad system in the 70s, so as far as i'm concerned this is the definitive mix, regardless of what pink floyd themselves may think.Of course the mix is not perfect - if you inspect it using an audio editor you can see it's done in a hurry, and the balances of the various tracks/parts do not correspond to the stereo version. The high frequencies also don't "sing out" as well - certainly the SA-CD 5.1 mix with restored tapes is superior in this regard.
But there are many things that i prefer in the quad mix than in the original stereo mix or the new m-ch mix by James Guthrie.
And this new DVD-A basically delivers a very well mastered version on the quad mix. Yay!
