The original mono mix is available on the US blu-ray, but not the European one. The European disc has a 5.1 mix, which is a legitimate mix, but I much prefer the mono. The 5.1 has the dialogue, at times, buried deep in the mix and the music sounds extremely subdued -- not party-like at all, you might say. The music is spread among the rear channels, but it's also biased heavily to the right for some odd reason and it remains that way throughout the entire film. Sounds like something went wrong.
Anyway, the original mix is much better and it also sounds excellent on the US blu-ray. It requires a -6673 ms delay to sync to the European disc.
Have you heard the LPCM mix on the UK Eureka Blu-ray?
ReplyDeleteThe LCPM track on the Eureka Blu is a 2.0 downmix of the 5.1 track
