If Stephen Tayler mixes the 5.1 its gotta be sonically taylered beautifully!
First listen blu ray 5.1 album & stereo bonus tracks.
What a delight!
Surround mix spreads the sound field to reveal much more than I heard on vinyl 55 years ago, with great clarity.
Lovely hot signal in all channels, be aware when switching from those attenuated Atmos mixes to turn down the gain.
Though the ten album tracks run less than 33 minutes, they are a tour de force of Jack's musical range & ambition.
He was the most musically educated member of Cream, with his cello & piano chops.
Poor Eric was so burned out & chastened by a poor review in Rolling Stone, all he wanted to do was play backup with Delaney & Bonnie and old Buddy Holly songs with Blind Faith.
Jack was the one who was stretching beyond the power trio boogieing, which remains unsurpassed to this day, but had run its course.
The bonus tracks were a revelation of how he worked out his musical vision with the band.
The design of the box is excellent, four gatefold disc packs & typographically readable 64-page booklet.
Happy to see credit to
@Stephen W Tayler for his mixes, prominently displayed multiple places, after going through the
nektar ~ remember the future box last week and finding none.
