Porcupine Tree - Deadwing, I can't seem to listen to anything else. I make a different selection, and no matter what I choose, within a song or two, I've changed it back over to Deadwing. Every track is my new favorite. And just as I think one of the tracks may not be 'all that', I find myself drawn to it within the next listening or two. I originally liked the CD version for "Arriving...", but really started enjoying the entire work when I could not get enough of the well-mixed 5.1. Simply delicious.

Deadwing is a terrific DVD-A surround album to be stuck on!

I'm cuing up Storm Corrosion shortly, long overdue in surround version here.

Ahh.. I can see I'm going to have to finally get those PT DVDAs, etc.. I'm rather enjoying the Steven Wilson GfD and Storm Corrosion blu rays, so it's about time really! just hope I've not left it too late and they're a million quid apiece now..!?

 

[lgkehoe]

A million...if you have a coupon. :yikes (Your ears will thank you!)

Without exaggeration, I've not been this addicted to an album since Pink Floyd's The Wall. I'd even put Wilson in the class of Waters and Gilmore.

Deadwing is probably my most played surround album...

4. "You Gave Me the Answer"
5. "Magneto and Titanium Man"
6. "Letting Go"
7. "Venus and Mars (Reprise)"
8. "Spirits of Ancient Egypt"
9. "Medicine Jar"
10. "Call Me Back Again"
11. "Listen to What the Man Said"
12. "Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People"
13. "Crossroads Theme"

Ahh... Nice!
I don't know what took me so long!?

There's One In Every Crowd - Eric Clapton DTS CD.

Isn't "side 2" the label side? lol!! :ugham:

Slow Train Coming - Bob Dylan (SACD)

Smooth as a baby's behind..

 

[fredblue]

Ok, I'm giving Goldfrapps' "Supernature" SACD another chance..

We shall see if the last 5 years+ have been kinder to this than my initial impressions

haha! On the CD it is, yes! I meant of the original vinyl. It's one of those albums that improves considerably as it plays out.

Unlike a fair few 70's albums where the best stuff was on the first side or few tracks and the rest a bit.. "meh".
