Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[The56Kid]

Derek & The Dominos - Layla; FLAC, 5.1

WOW! Another amazing example of a lossy surround masterpiece.

360 Degrees Of Billy Paul (Vocalion SACD)

"...and go back and tell everybody
that Billy Paul's got a song...
it may be a-quite quite simple but now that's it done,
i hope you don't mind,
i hope you don't mind,
that i wrote down in words...
how wonderful life is...
while you're in the world,
you're in the world,
you're in the
wu-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-urrrrld..
and if, if i was on a rooftop,
i'd kick off my shoes,
i'd write a few verses
and then i'd get the blues.."

Apparently...anyone interested to give it a go.?

By the way, the surround mix is really good for a live TV broadcast.

WOW! Another amazing example of a lossy surround masterpiece.

Just a quick note: I’m not a lossy advocate and prefer lossless. But if done right, you’re hard pressed to tell the difference.

4.0 surround MFSB Philadelphia Freedom, real dang good. Actually a must purchase.

 

[marpow]

4.0 The Guess Who-Rockin & The Best of Vol 2, Dutton Vocalion, 21 songs this will take awhile and I already don't like it as much as the MFSB but it is 4.0 done the best possible, I reckon.

Off Topic: Ralphie did you get the MOFI stereo SACD's Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk? I did.

If it where not for JanBaker and skherbeck I would be lost.
Ayreon, last years # 1 hit for me.

Couldn't agree more! Even though this music is right in my strike zone, I had not previously heard of Ayreon until being introduced to them here at QQ.

I bought The Source, was stunned, and quickly bought the rest of the surround catalog. The Source still remains my favorite of the bunch.

As a bonus, the earbook box sets look awesome and stack nicely with Jimi, Dream Theatre and others...

First listen the Steven Wilson mix of Rush: A Farewell To Kings (Blu Ray 5.1)

Oh I hear now, this is what Rush in surround is supposed to sound like

 

[sjcorne]

Oh I hear now, this is what Rush in surround is supposed to sound like

Oh yeah - the intro to "Xanadu" absolutely blows me away every time I play it. Especially those first three minutes - the wind swirling around and the blocks/chimes behind you, then Alex enters and you feel like you're in some kind of guitar tornado. I've always liked Steven's mixes, but like damn, this is the work of a surround god. Now I understand why everyone was so bummed when the Hemispheres box came out...

 

[weekendtoy]

Now unto a sugary syrupy mess, but it's an Elliot Scheiner sugary syrupy mess and the mix ain't bad.

Faith Hill: Cry (DVDA 5.1)

 

[bgf1973]

No-man - Together we’re stranger

 

[H.A.L.]

I'd love to get this as a stand-alone 5.1, but can't justify the other bling. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Rush was never in my top artist list, but this album is my favorite of theirs. And the surround, well, surrounds

 

[antoine555]

For me, last september's highlight:

 

[olgitnorm]

Steve Hackett Broken Skies Outspread Wings just started first listen......promising

I've heard about your heat wave over there. Keep kool, drink lots of liquid and keep yourself surrounded in good music.

 

[H.A.L.]

Try the "Deep South" USA right now . My antidote lately has been a chilled wine glass, with 1/3rd cooled Pinot Grigio and 2/3rds club soda. I can only imagine a good French wine done that way (But sacrilege, probably)
