Listening to now (In Surround!) - Volume 1

[GOS]

The RS500 Super Audio CD Sampler - SACD - Not a bad selection....
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil - SACD - Pity is the only surround Stones.... :-(

WHAT??? Sympathy for The Devil is surround??? I thought all their material was 2 channel only?

 

[GOS]

I wish you had Petty's Anthology blu ray audio...you can jam all day long on that bad boy..

Eh......do I know about that one? I don't recall...

 

[GOS]

I think you would like Hypnotic Eye better...new material too...

Well...maybe. I love Torpedos....great, great tunes. I like it a lot. Actually, forgot I had it. That's what happens when you have a closet FULL of surround music.

It's a unique disc that has 7 versions (mixes)of the title song HERE

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Eh......do I know about that one? I don't recall...

To get the blu ray you have to buy the entire box set..the blu ray has 62 songs on it!...it's expensive now...here is an example..

I was lucky and picked up anthology on Ebay for $79...it's a shame that the vinyl and CD's won't ever be played...I wasn't as lucky when I tried to get aqualung(I was late in the game buying it)..had to scramble and paid $143 for the set just to get the blu ray...but it was worth it

It's a unique disc that has 7 versions (mixes)of the title song HERE

6 tracks are remixes by other artists & the last track is the original track re-mixed in surround.

THE BEATLES - Love

Oh man...I can never get enough of this......wishing for more Beatles surround.

 

[GOS]

Clint will be shaking his head over this one.

KITARO - Best of Silk Road (DVD-Audio)

Yeah, yeah. I've had this disc for years now. I'm gonna be honest here. Last time I listened to this was on my Pioneer DVD player....and my older Denon and older speakers.

Um........I cannot believe how much better this sounds on my current setup. Seriously.....over the top great sound and surround mix. I bought this disc back in the day for less than $10. Impressive to say the least.

BETTER THAN EZRA - How does Your Garden Grow (DVD-Audio)

One More Murder is a superior song...great mix....absolutely stunning. I didn't give this enough credit...

EDIT - 20 minutes later. Wow...I was sooooo wrong about this disc. It is one of the best surround discs I've ever heard. Duh......what or how did I miss this first time I listened??

So, there is a song towards end of disc called "new Kind of Low". wow oh wow......this is a super killer tune. I'm sold.

I need to re-listen to this disc. When it first came out, I did not give it high marks. Now I have a completely new loudspeaker system.

Let me put a disclaimer on my comments. I was playing it very loud...no one was home. It sounded great at higher volumes.

Loud volume and a couple tasty beverages equals much better sound quality and more enjoyable listening experience (if your into that sort of thing).

I am listening to "A Fresh Aire Christmas" and it is in the middle of "Still Still Still" and I am in tears because it is so beautiful.

Listened to these:




Now listening to:



My God, I wish Dweezil would appreciate how many people would love to have more Zappa in HD and surround. This particular concert was recorded in high-def audio/video, yet as of now, it's only available on DVD. It's still pretty awesome though.

Edit: Dweezil's 'Zappa Plays Zappa' version of 'Peaches en Regalia' from this won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 2009. :worthy

Happy Solstice to everyone!

Christmas Dreams on 13 strings - SACD

This is a beautiful, relaxing collection of Christmas music played on a 13-string guitar. Highly recommended!

Here is an interview with Anders Miolin, discussing the 13-string guitar...
