Gavin Harrison - "Cheating the Polygraph" CD/DVD

[SMS]

Here is a Q&A/Interview about this upcoming album:

Gavin mentions the surround mix a couple of times. He describes the mix as being quite discreet; isolating instruments to particular speakers. He talks about the mix as if he did it himself, or at least he was quite involved.

I am looking forward to this one. I wish we knew if it was at least DTS.

Good interview, and nice to see the surround mix get some publicity!

I'm sure it will be DTS, but I can't order this yet, seeing as how most independent stores I would order from want to charge you now! (and I haven't got the money now! lol)

In the Steven Wilson interview I posted in the other thread, he was asked about this new album from Gavin and here's what he had to say about it:

What do you make of Gavin Harrison's Big Band jazz versions of Porcupine Tree songs on his upcoming album, Cheating the Polygraph?

It's brilliant! I love it! It's amazing to hear music I've written presented that way. Listen, I don't know what the audience is for it, and I don't think he knows either. But as a piece of art it's phenomenal. What did you think of it?

I only received a download of it last night and so far all I've listened to is the first track, "What Happens Now?" It sounded great, but I have to admit I didn't recognize it.

Me neither! He sat me down and played me some of those tracks. I was almost the whole way through and he said, "Do you recognize it?" I said, "No...." And these, apparently, are songs that I wrote! So, obviously, they are very abstracted from the original source material, which is great. I was really impressed. It's a beautifully executed piece of work.

I am seriously tempted by this one but think I'll wait until the QQ reviews come back. I've heard the available samples but just want to know about the sound quality.

I will give you an honest review, no holds barred, straight raw like reservoir dogs :}

I was on the fence about this but placed my order based on the track I from the last Prog magazine CD.

sometimes I am so weak !

 

[stormchaser]

Ah, why not? I'm in! Ordered from Burning Shed.

Me too. One track was included on the nice kscope sampler included with the SW HCE box and I rather liked it.

Although SW says he doesn't recognize any of it when Gavin played it for him, you can make it out from the bass and drums at times.

I have that sampler, too late now but I'll listen tomorrow.

 

[Cibola]

Okay, listened to the kscope volume 6 sampler of Hatesong/Halo through DPLII, I'm now also in with a pre order.

If by any chance, someone knows what audio format the surround version will be in (Dolby, DTS, MLP?), please chime in.

I asked Gavin Harrison on another forum that exact question. He answered that question today here: http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=698

I just pre-ordered the CD/DVD-V version of "Cheating the Polygraph" from Burning Shed https://www.burningshed.com/store/ga...duct/192/6399/ .
Did Jakko do the 5.1 mix? Also, do you know if it is a hi-res DVD-A, or does it only have dts/dolby listening options?

I did the 5.1 mix and it has DTS/Dolby formats. I believe there will also be a FLAC 24bit96k stereo version available very soon from Burning Shed.........

Cheers

Gavin

It is a very discrete one I can already say!
Sound is superb.
Horns (many of them) in the rears! Great!

 

[rontoon]

I've only listened to the 5.1 mix and I really like it. I am definitely much cooler now after the first listen.

I'm listening to this now too . Loving it. Nice and discrete and sounds very powerful.

I don't know about feeling cooler, but I've found myself listening to this while stood up in the middle of the room kind of part air drummer, part mad conductor :bounce17:bounce17 !

Gavin is right though, you definitely feel right in the middle of the music. Superb.
