Listening to now (In Surround!) - Volume 1

[fredblue]

Agents Of Fortune - Blue Öyster Cult (SACD).

Always had a soft spot for this one.. the surround mix is far from perfect but at least its discrete with isolated stuff in the rears and its a playful mix too with lots of silly (pointless?) speaker ping pong! Bah! It goes down well with a beer! :brew

La la la la laaa.. la la la la laaa..! :banana:

I wanted an improved version of that disc so bad; I'm still jamming to ONE WAY OUT on the aforementioned Eat A Peach disc. This puppy really jams!

Dennis Moore and Norwegian Carpenter Songs, now that's an image I won't soon forget:fly:

Sometimes we just have to take what we can get.. it could and should've been better but I don't think it deserves its terrible reputation.. I've heard much worse in surround!

Well.. some of that stuff on Eat A Peach does go on for about 3 weeks so I guess you'll be a while

how about the unsubtle surround mix..?

Not a favorite mix, but content makes up for it. Some are a little put off because most songs are "center speaker" oriented. Right now Just The Way You Are is playing and it's beautiful, so clear. I'm just glad I got the multi channel version. As I've said several times; my priority is CLEAR and dynamic recordings, so the music can breathe and not be compressed. I'm not so fussy about the mixes. I know a lot of surround folks are and that's fine.

I understand.. clear and dynamic, mixes less important
