HiRez Poll Cobham, Billy - SPECTRUM [Blu-Ray Audio]

[quadrifonico]

Finally this on blu-ray . I hoped the 4.0 mix to be thicker compared to the SACD, it is but not impressively better; the tapes must be bright. I don't like how the first track ends while I still hear instruments fading (though can be also on SACD I don't remember now). I vote 9 and I mention just defects? No c'mon; I like it and I'm happy they included the 5.1 as well. By the way the quadraphonic mix is still better than the 5.1 that has just more bass but is less focused.
I like all these Rhino discs where music starts as soon as I push play without boring logos and intros that you can't skip

The Quad is a revelation. The 5.1 sounds weak in comparison. But it's nice to have it and not worry about the previous DVD-A release. To hear one of my all-time favorite albums in surround AT LAST is pretty freakin' great!

God, I'm glad it's not just me, I was almost afraid to say anything. The 5.1 is a non-event to these ears. Started to worry there was something wrong with my system till I played something else just to be sure...
