a(nother) eclectic mix of tracks with just the right amount of Surround activity to justify powering up your amps

and Alt/Hip-Hop artist 070 Shake's "Petrichor" album with a superb Surround mix that will make you glad you've sacrificed a room full of furniture and people for a room full of speakers and a sweet spot just for you to let all the dramatic sounds whizz around you!!

a few mo' pretty breezy Poppy Atmossy single fingz i'm enjoying at the mo-mo.. and a somewhat darker update of an album

..and the deluxe edition of the latest LP ("Sex With Myself") by LGBTQQ+ artist JORDY that was already a real riot but has now been updated with a funny new title ("Sex With Myself And It Lasts Longer") and a new Surround mix with a surprising amount of.. Surround action!

..and i shall sign off in this thread on this Surround-y Sunday with a slew of tracks including a banger of a single from Croatian rockers Baby Lasgana, an EP by American troubadour Nick Carpenter recording under the name Medium Build, alt-pop Nessa Barrett's challenging but hugely worthwhile listen of a new LP "Aftercare" & Mandopopper Xin Liu's new single "Take A Sip", all to make you go "coo.. listen to that happening over my shoulder!"

and finally London alternative quartet daydreamers eponyonoyonyonyonymous debut album

here's to a great week ahead for us all guys 'n gals 'n everything in between and all around of QQ!

Queen I 2024 Mix not yet available in the US, at least on Apple.

It is now. Just FYI.

It's not a particularly adventurous surround mix, but what strikes me is the clarity, which has never been better for this album.

(The only thing I'm not sold on is the handling of the famous rhythm intro to Liar. Way too 'wet'! )

I wonder if there can be two versions of this thead -- one listing the hundreds/thousands of releases of stuff most of us will never give the slightest damn about..and another with just the good* stuff.





*that is, old

Wow, what a difference - my kids enjoy Marshmello so I let them have a little dance party last night in the HT room, it's a fun little song...and now we get to hear it without the atrocious mastering of the retail single!

Decent surround mix, virtually no lead vocal bleed into the rears, nice low end that breathes...wonderful dynamics.
