Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[Beefalo]

I've heard the DTS CD and SACD. IMO the SACD is vastly superior. I haven't heard the DVD-V. Not sure of its lineage, but I believe it's a lossy encoding of the SACD mix. Hopefully another QQer can fact check all that.

I have a soft spot in my heart for those DTS CD.
Don't think we will ever see those released again.

Wasteland

This one is growing on me after a slow start.
The mix totally suits this release.
Very thoughtful, as is the music.

My opinion:
Have no fears folks, to my ears, it's a little smasher. Not Wilson esk but not a 'wont play again dud, either'.
I rate it between 8.5 and 9 so far.

The almost neglected gem on this release is the 5.1 Blu-ray of Delta Machine. Awesome !!!

Hello People!

Starting today with...

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Hypnotic Eye

https://www.discogs.com/Tom-Petty-The-Heartbreakers-Hypnotic-Eye/release/6187215
(summarized/edited from Wikipedia)
The final studio album by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the only Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album ever to top the chart. Hypnotic Eye was nominated for the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.

I’m surprised this disk didn’t get more love in the polls.

King Crimson -Thrak- 24/96 5.1 Surround. Not sure why I wanted to listen to this but I am. Maybe because it seems to hold it's place rather than going all over the place?

Maybe 'cause you have good taste?

I am not a big King Crimson fan at all and I did not really like 21st Century------- at all, I much preferred the later KC 5.1's better. I watched Life In Surround and Mike convinced me to give the 2019 5.1 a try and I really like it, sounds so much better than the earlier surround version.

Fleetwood Mac: Fleetwood Mac (DD 5.1)

Is this the best Dolby Digital album I've heard? Might be.

Some how I just fell into an all Prog night, Steven Wilson, YES-Fragile in 5.1 from 2015.
