Surrounded (stylised as (____surrounded): on the packaging) is a box set released on June 27, 2006, featuring seven of Björk's albums in DualDisc format.
The seven-disc box set contains the original albums on the CD sides, and the DVD sides contain each album remastered in Dolby Digital and DTS 96/24 5.1 surround sound. The corresponding music videos are also featured on the discs and are in PCM 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. The original stereo mixes are used for the CD sides and are not remastered. The box set was originally intended to be released in the higher resolution DVD-A format, as evidenced by the disc scans on Björk's official website.
Famous quotes containing the word surrounded:
“Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream—a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows—is essentially poetry.”
—Michel Leiris (1901–1990)
“I guess the definition of a lunatic is a man surrounded by them.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond; that if any should succeed to live a higher life, others would not know of it; that difference and distance are one. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
