ALL ABOUT MUSIC #2 - Non Surround, Not Covered In Other Threads

Watching ZOOM on DVD. I simply cannot believe how terrible the picture quality is.....at least on a 65" panel. I mean...really? Can they not please clean this up and release on Blu? Jeez....what gives?

If they would, they wouldn't release it just yet anyway as they just released the "Live from Hyde Park" concert from ELO a few months ago on Blu-Ray (even though for us it's just stereo only, super lame…)
But that's why I've sworn off DVDs for the most part ever since I jumped on board in 2008 with larger hi-def TVs and Blu-Rays. The difference in quality is just too astounding on a visual level to not notice and be bothered by it.

Zoom is all about the music...I only use music DVD's as audio only discs...leave the TV off...you know how obsessed I get about picture quality....

This is a terrific new BBC documentary on 10cc featuring in-depth interviews with all four members plus great archival footage. I've always been a big fan and knew much of their story but many here may be unaware of their pioneering work (beyond the hits) and the breadth of the members' careers - from writing hits for the Yardbirds and Hollies to guitar & recording innovations to helping create the modern music video.

Great minds think alike, eh Eric?
I was just about to post the YouTube link to this documentary as well. Haven't watched it yet, but I've got it bookmarked to watch after I get home from work this evening. I hope I develop a greater appreciation for more of their songs after watching this. For the past few years, "I'm Not In Love" has been one of my favorites, but I have yet to grasp the rest of their work, but hopefully that may change after watching this!

Heck yeah - love that tune....and how I wish the Best of Buffet could somehow be released in Quad 4.0 SACD!!

I did enjoy it very much!
To the powers of the universe that be, I would love nothing more than to mix "I'm Not in Love" in 5.1 surround, and I promise that I would create the best 5.1 surround mix possible for that song befitting its groundbreaking production.

The mention of Gordon Lightfoot on another thread brought back memories of some of his songs...I remember seeing him in a small venue(a theater)"back in the day"...he came out on the stage by himself...no band...no back up singers...just a chair in front of a microphone and he entertained us with a great performance....he just turned 77 on November 17 and has had some serious medical scares that threatened his life...and also survived a death hoax...being reported to have died and he heard it on the radio...love this song
