Architecture Morality & More [Blu-ray]

past fan of OMD? this is a gift from the heavens
I used to really like OMD back in the day. Architecture and Morality is certainly my favorite album from them, so for them to perform it in it's entirety is brilliant.
Watching them play the whole album reminds me how special and how ahead of their time they were. The rest of the tracks after are a "best of" in terms of singles/hits. About the only track missing was "Secret", but all the rest make up for it. (see track list)
This bluray is what a live hi definition concert should look like and sound like. Crystal clear image, great sound, good extra features including interview with the band.

I can't imagine Andy Mucclusly being in any more top form than here. Great voice, confident, charismatic, and full of energy at this show. And all the keyboard playing is LIVE. Paul Humphreys and the other fellow play everything live, from all the melodic parts to the simple bass lines......this is unheard of in recent electronic music...

Excellent BD Sound and Picture
I pre-order this Blu Ray disc, without reading any reviews, so when i saw the one just posted the other day with 2 stars, i thought i made a mistake. I cracked open the disc, and it sounded good to me. I have the Sony BDVN790W Home Theater, and it sounds good to me. Picture is excellent too. Andy's voice sounds great, and so does the band, they have aged well. If you are a fan you will enjoy. I see that they are on tour this year 2013, and will be in my area in July, i think i will be there!

Outstanding Video and Audio
When I pre-ordered this Blu-ray disc there was no reviews yet so I don't know what to expect. Good thing it exceeded my expectations. The video quality is excellent but the audio is superb. I played the HD-DTS MA audio option of the disc on my Yamaha Aventage RX-A2000 receiver with the Bowers and Wilkins 685 fronts, HTM 62 centre, 686 surround, Paradigm Atom front presence and the Velodyne DLS 3750R subwoofer. I was amazed how clean and clear the audio was especially liked the mixing of the surrounds. It felt like you are in a concert and not just watching it on TV. The bass was solid and tight and not boomy. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys voices are clear and they sounded the same if not better when they last played at the Rose Bowl Gradens in 1988. Malcolm Holmes drum performance was great and the best sound I heard in all of my concert Blu-ray collections. I wished they included the song "Secret" in this blu-ray so that I don't have to use the CD anymore to hear it. Great...
