Aero is a double CD format, a DVD (ntsc/Region 0) and CD in one package. The DVD is recorded in 5.1 DTS, Dolby AC3 and PCM 9624 KHz Stereo and the CD is recorded in Super Stereo. There is an optional visual element on the DVD format, which offers an unusual visual experience. A pair of beautiful eyes, shot in high-definition cinemascope, gazing out at the listener and reacting emotionally to the music...for the entire 75 minutes of the album.AERO is one of the most impressive efforts a human being has made in exploring the possibilities of sound and music. It would be worth it to invest in a nice DTS surround system with a DVD player that supports PAL formated discs before butchering this album for not living up to standards.
Now for the audio: It is as advertised; no other album has the ability to immerse in the sound quite like this DVD does. Five speakers are used to give you depth and perspective versus the usual two; so music revolves around you and moves back and forth from speaker to speaker. Imagine seeing Star Wars in the theatre; so if a space ship flies overhead on the screen you hear the sound come from the back of the theatre and move to the front (where you are looking/the screen). This album takes that concept and applies it to music. That's the jist of it. Chronologie 6 sounds unbelievable; so do the new Aerology/Aerozone tracks and all the other works.
This is a new direction in sound; Let's commend Jarre for doing this.
