Multi-channel electronic works in Surround Sound

Morton Subotnick was a phenomenon in the late '60s, the first composer to write substantial works for synthesizer that had a wide audience. He has been mentor to generations of composers, and his influence is so pervasive that it would be impossible to trace completely - the electronica movement, for one, reveres him.

This release brings together two of his classic analog electronic works which were previously only available on LP. The DVD allows you to experience these works "spatially" in your own home - in high-definition sound!

SPECIAL FEATURES:

* 24-bit remastering from the original analog master tapes.
* Newly remixed for Surround Sound by the composer.
* Sidewinder is presented with a liquid light show created for the work by Tony Martin. Martin - infamous for his light shows in the '60s in San Francisco at the Fillmore West and New York's Electric Circus for bands like the Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds and the Grateful Dead - is a long-time collaborator with Subotnick.
* Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround encoding for the standard video side (playable on all DVD players).
* Dedicated DVD-Audio 5.1 Surround side.
* CD version contains the two electronic pieces in new dedicated stereo mixes by the composer.
