I've been a Bryan Ferry fan since I first heard his recording of "You Are My Sunshine" in a record store in London in the early 70's. His voice is a revelation on this 88.2/24 mix in 5.1-surround. The 88.2Khz/24-bit PCM stereo mix is also exceptional. I thought it interesting that this DVD-Audio disc was mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering.

I assume that it is played on a DVD player, and the sound is in 5.1 Dolby Surround, etc, but does anything appear on the screen - are there photos, video clips, library footage, etc, while the Frantic tracks are playing?
