I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know

View attachment 43472 Blood, Sweat & Tears Child Is Father To The Man

a Sooper Kooper 5.1 mix!

A simply astounding surround experience on my system, Clement. Al Kooper's 5.1 remix knocks it out of the ball park. Wish he did MORE 5.1 surround remixes for other artists. This is as good as any surround disc I have in my collection!

 

[Hamilton59]

Another birthday gift...
Styx - The Mission
First listen and so far plenty use of the surrounds.

Spinning Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - the Traveler again.
I’m loving this disk! Great Atmos mix!

This morning, in rainy Wantage, I have played:

Al Jarreau
All I got
https://www.discogs.com/Al-Jarreau-All-I-Got/release/6214860

A nice, gentle, wakey uppy album.

Then:
Anthony Phillips
1984

A very good mix on this electronic rocky album.

And finally, before I go out for a few sherbets:

Steve Lukather
Candyman

With a great version of Jimi's Freedom!!!

I've cranked this to max.

Good morning!
It’s Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
I loved this album when it first came out and the surround release sounds great.

I second that emotion! One of my favorite sonic baths in which to soak! Kooper's choices really resonate with the spirit of the release and its place in history. It's probably my favorite Audio Fidelity surround release. Actually, that's what I'm doing now: spinning my Audio Fidelity Top picks. Another Killer Kooper mix:

Mike Bloomfield / Al Kooper / Stephen Stills Super Session

 

[Hamilton59]

Tonight it’s Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Ok, just what was that thing chirping behind me?!?!

 

[Clement]

Guess Who's next as I revisit my favorite Audio Fidelity discs . . .

No, seriously . . .

Guess Who! The Best of the Guess Who . . . that's who!

Last night, the 5.1 DVD from last year's Fleetwood Mac box. If this ever received an Atmos release ... then it could be Over My Head. I wish they'd stretched to including 5.1 mixes of the four singles on the DVD, too, but just having the LP in surround is as much as I ever dared hope for, since stumbling onto that Acura reference DVD-A with Caillat's 5.1 mix of Monday Morning years ago. Hearing this brought a big grin to my face.

 

[Goona]

To any of you Abbey Road fans who have listened to it in Atmos, you have to get Kraftwerk this in Atmos is outstanding.

Next up in my trek through my favorite Audio Fidelity releases

Billy Joel Streetlife Serenade

I resisted this release for a long time. I thought of it as a lightweight Billy Joel release (BJ himself might even be considered a lightweight, and who wants a lightweight's lightweight release?!), and I felt my Japanese releases of The Stranger and 52nd Street were enough to satisfy any Joel hankerings I might have. But QQ came through again, and a thorough perusal of this release's Poll peaked my interest. I waited patiently until a deal showed up and finally bought it. And I am glad I did! If some of the songs are lightweight (and the more I listen to it, the more the album presents as a cohesive whole), the surround mix transcends and makes this an enjoyable and engaging release. Peace!

Good morning!
Starting off today with Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
Great memories with this one... My family had been stationed in the Philippines for a two years. We left in the summer of ‘77 and spent a week in Honolulu for a vacation. The radio stations were playing all of this great new music that we’d hadn’t heard while away! I already knew the white Fleetwood Mac album from before we left and now, back in the States again, Rumors was on the air! Fantastic!!!
It’s great to hear this album in DVD-Audio but I sure wish they had kept the original track list and not added parts to songs that weren’t in the original mix....

Had an unexpected wonderful listening event last night as Mrs GOS joined me and we listened to all of Abbey Road in Atmos. She absolutely loved it and even shed a tear hearing George Harrison’s vocals so vividly during Something!

I've read that wo/man does not live on bread alone

Bread The Best of

but with one side of white bread delight and a second side of rockin' rolls, no matter how you slice it, I think I could make a counter-argument with this Audio Fidelity multichannel magic
