If you get the time, I'd be very curious. I've long been interested in the XTC Steven Wilson blurays that I have, I might get a surround system for those alone.
I'm the same! I have those XTC Blu-ray reissues and would love to hear the surround sound versions. Same with a load of Talking Heads and (I think) some Dylan SACDs which have surround mixes.
I have a nagging feeling I'm missing out on hours of audio fun, but don't really have the space to get the kit needed to explore it.

I'm a noted procrastinator—I haven't even gotten the tweeter in my main L speaker fixed, so the thought of having to research and go out and buy a whole new system reduces me to a jelly.

Left town for a few days so didn't get a chance to A/B but still planning on it.
When we moved into our house the basement family room area had built-in 5.1 speakers set into the ceiling, so that prompted me to rejigger my system. I would not have done so without the built-in incentive. But it is pretty fun.

On a ghost voice in "I Want You":

This song has never been a favourite because the vocal line doesn't especially appeal, but when it gets into the dark drone, I really dig it.

Not my fave either, but now that I've listened to the "ghost vocal", I'll probably always be listening for it from now on. Strange stuff.

A list of the alleged best covers of every Beatles song:

That Laibach's version of "Across the Universe" is omitted dashes the quality of this list.

Too late, baby. Laibach's cover is sublime.
