This disc has been staring out at me from @edisonbaggins ' display rack when I watch Life In Surround videos; I figured that was recommendation enough:

Good late-night listening: dreamy, enveloping, ethereal, immersive, engaging, entrancing, and occasionally putting the fear into atmospheric.

very interesting, FW and you've mentioned this one on QQ before and tbh i forgot to investigate it further at the time! oops! it also gets an entry in the Surround Discography, where the Producer stated in any interview that it was Quad only, is it definitively matrix encoded or could it be just a fold down?
1975 man.. a stealth A&M QS Quad.. that's pretty nifty!

edit: just been running a few YouTube videos (!) of tracks off the Thad Jones & Mel Lewis "Suite For Pops" album that fizzywiggs41 recommends thru the Surround Master. wow!
definitely QS! thanks for the tip FW! you da man!!

Yes there are a small number of these QS lps/cds on the Horizon/A&M label , plus other labels. Got my info from Ed Michel's website which Mark Anderson posted in his section regarding Sun Ra 's questionable quad album , Magic City.

Enjoy Frederico from Tampico.



Also I noticed there are some SQ cds available now from WXRT unconcert out of Chicago .
Gotta get me some of them . They sound and decode quad a bit better than Biscuit live ones.
I believe there are at least 2 , Blues artists fwiw, and the encode would be by Ken Rasek.


Nice to keep those quad matrix albums and quadcasts alive. Makes for an interesting day with the decoders.

Artist: The Academy of St. James, Carl Pini
Title: J.S. Bach - The Brandenburg Concertos

"Renowned conductor and soloist Carl Pini specializes in Baroque music, and he brings Bach to life at the helm of The Academy of Saint James; an ensemble of some of the finest chamber music and Baroque players in Sydney, Australia."

Restored from the original master tapes (circa 1991?) with a fine surround mix (from Silverline, believe it or not.) My copy is the 2x DualDisc version with CDs on one side and DVDs on the other: 24bit/96kHz 5.1 MLP.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

I need that one

All Tomita's quads are worthwhile. That late quad maestro sure knew his electronics.

Quartetto Italiano

Classic recordings - I was glad we were able to get a fair bit of Quartetto Italiano from Pentatone.

A little bit of Pentatone for me as well today, although my version has a different cover for reasons not clear to me.

Silverline had a deal with Omega and successor owners of Vanguard's catalog, and got a number of recordings for use. Unclear to me if they got multitracks, but it's an original digital recording supposedly:

I believe the only bt I've got is "This Binary Universe."

It is the Theron movie! The Binary Universe is in my listening queue--I've yet to hear it, recently purchased because of the poll here. Allmusic.com gives Monster an average review; I think the release is stellar! Perhaps we'll get a poll for Monster . . . ?
