DTS Launches New Music Artists In 5.1 Digital Surround
DTS Entertainment has announced new 5.1 Digital Surround releases from four fast-rising recording artists. The multi-channel compact disc for each new artist will precede the stereo release, further validating the growing market for multi-channel music. In January, Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), a hot new country/rock band from Los Angeles will release their debut album on a 5.1-channel compact disc encoded exclusively in DTS Digital Surround. Featuring a great lead vocalist, David Blasucci, PCH is currently receiving considerable attention from a number of Nashville record labels. In February, the formal release of Larisa Stow's Moment by Moment provides 5.1 music enthusiasts all over the world their first chance to experience the 1999 winner of the Los Angeles Music City Award for ""Most Outstanding Female Singer/Songwriter of the Year."" This pop/rock album was produced and mixed in 5.1 by David Tickle, credited with over 30 Gold or Platinum records. During March, Studio Voodoo will enter the market with an assortment of tribal rhythms and chants, blended artfully with modern electronic synthesizers, resulting in a completely unique listening experience. Gary Mraz, the producer, engineer and composer of each track, also created the 5.1 mix for this exclusive DTS Music CD. A recent review explained, ""If Frank Zappa's ghost invaded the spirit of Public Enemy, and played canasta with The Firesign Theatre, you might get close to the essence of the Gluey Brothers."" The April DTS release from the Gluey Brothers will feature one of the hottest 5.1 music mixes ever created. All DTS-encoded Music CDs can be played by connecting the digital output from a CD player, DVD player, CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive to a 5.1 DTS-capable playback system. About DTS DTS was launched with the Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment theatrical release of ""Jurassic Park,"" and since then the company has remained a leader in feature film digital audio with more than 18,000 installations worldwide.
