HiRez Poll Alan Parsons Project, The - THE TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD [Blu-Ray Audio]

[Plan9]

Just tried dropping the Center off (so far only "The Games People Play") and I didn't seem to notice a ton of difference. I also tried EQing some high end off the Fronts and Rears from about 4K-20K at a pretty hefty drop and it did smooth it out some (also you could see most of the Clipping disappear.)

Just sayin'!

Anyone else try this yet? @Plan9 ?

Haven't tried it yet. A down shelf EQ starting at 4kHz is probably a good move.

Finally got a chance to listen to the stand-alone BD of this album. I've read some of the posts about the sound quality of the new surround mix, but I simply love the fact that AP sat down and did this for his APP fans. Sure, some of the tracks weren't mixed perfectly, but I definitely heard some new things in the music that I don't recall hearing in our [very] old stereo mix, and I was particularly impressed with the sound of Track 9: Nothing Left To Lose. Cheers, Alan, and all the best with mixing the remaining classic APP albums!

9 - quite liked it! I'd never heard the album before, and the surround mix didn't disappoint!

Somebody posted that the Alan Parsons 5.1 Blu-rays are 192 only, but my copy of Turn of a Friendly Card appears to be 96 - am i missing something?

Yes. 192.

8. I find the music pleasing but surpassed by many albums from the same period. To my ears not thin sounding but surely not juicy or broad. Mix is not adventurous but throughout coherent and feels right to me. No special effects but spacious enough as a multichannel version should be
