Mega Movies was recorded in Direct Stream Digital (DSD) at Music Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 7, 1999. The album was also slated for release as a 5.1 Surround Sound SACD but has been pushed back on the release schedule multiple times until now.
Long requested for a Surround Sound Super Audio CD edition by fans, the album features 22 well known "mega" movie themes and runs almost 74 minutes in length. In its new Surround Sound edition, a series of Multichannel Sound Effects has been added to the album by Telarc Engineer and Sound Effects specialist Michael Bishop. The SACD cover says "Warning!
Mega Sound Effects". Page 5 of the liner notes cautions listeners to "establish safe playback levels before playing tracks 2, 5, 9, 13, 17 and 20. Excessive playback levels could result in damage to equipment".
