It's good to know Yes, no? Back in HIGH school this was my go-to Yes album for HEADphones.

 

[The56Kid]

Chase - Pure Music & Chase; SACD 4.0

Damn, this sounds so damn good and another set of incomparable liner notes by Steely. Superlative!

Bring on the next batch, Michael!

King Crimson-Beat Blu ray in DTS HD MA 5.1

Interrupted my run through the Yes canon because a friend of my daughter's loves XTC. Ah, life: it takes college professors and classmates for my daughter to realize just how hip her pops is . . . well, at least I was King for a Day!

Anyone who has Hans Zimmer: Live in Prague on blu-ray, and a decent subwoofer, and wants to have their socks blown off, check out track 27 - The Amazing Spider-Man - Electro Suite. At the 1 hour 29 minute mark, it goes into another dimension.

Good Atmos experience too!

Good Atmos experience too!

I have a 7.1 setup, but not yet a true Atmos. I have dual 18" subs though. My bass in my fairly small 8 x 11 x 15 room is astounding! Flat to 8Hz, which all the less than 18Hz goes to waste 99% of the time anyway. I'm thinking of building an underground home theater room, but the options are crazy!

I'm on the verge of getting my own place, but said place is a trailer in the mountains of East-Tennessee, which is pretty cool. It's on a hill, next to a horse farm. My biggest wonder, is: build above-ground room, or properly, build below ground room, which I very much favor!

Nice my first experience with this album. Listened to half of the stereo remix in the car now listening to the surround. I may like this better then Sunburst. Will take a few listens more....

I'm back on board with my listening plan--this morning I'm sailing the Topographic Oceans!

I have a feeling this will be a Tale of Ten!

Just finished my first listen. Holy crap! Too many highlights to list.

That was the hardest part about making a review video. Glad that it seems you're enjoying it!

The only other Rush 5.1 I have is Moving Pictures, and this is in a whole different league. The intros to "Xanadu" and "Cygnus X-1" are mind-blowing.

Cygnus X-2 is very cool too!
The only Rush MC I think RC more or less nailed is Fly By Night.

Rush Fly By Night
DVD-A vs. Blu-ray Audio
Overall, BD-A "brighter," to these ears.
No preference yet. You?

Watched this on Netflix a few weeks ago. WOW. I will have to watch it again.
By the way... not sure if it's known (and I am behind the times), but in the Buggles video of "Video Killed The Radio Star" near the end you see a keyboardist in black. That guy is Hans Zimmer.
