Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[4-earredwonder]

It's IMPOSSIBLE for You to listen to ALL those albums in such a short amount of time.

But then again, no one ever accused you of being George Washington when asked "Who Chopped down the Cherry Tree?"

Unless of course you're a SPEED LISTENER!

People used to tell me I speak too fast .... and my reply: You listen TOO SLOWLY!

 

[Clement]

Unless of course you're a SPEED LISTENER!

Naw, I like to savor my listening experiences; it's just that I like to include sonic suggestions and poll links with my jokes! Trying to honor the thread, don't you know!

And while you're responding with witty Ralphieisms, I'll be in your basement boosting those speakers! Meep! Meep!

Are you certain you're not a Lobbyist in Washington for the Major Record Conglomerates?

Steve Wilson has made many fine surround mixes for lots of artists, but I think the surround mixes for the Porcupine Tree albums still belong to his best.
Those massive guitar-overdubs…. Goosebumps.
An absolute 10 for fidelity and surround mix.

I agree, for me Stupid Dreams is outstanding both the mix of songs and sound quality.

Mind you so did she......

Ear Ache my eye!

I guess I missed Legend in tonight's rebroadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar Live, so I'll settle for him in surround

I believe I ordered mine from cduniverse, and I’m still waiting; maybe held up in shipping as a non-essential item?

Good morning people!

Giving Script another listen to before putting it on the shelf, who knows when I'll feel like getting it out again, such a disappointment to me, I had such high hopes. I've had to turn the rears up by 2db so as not to miss the meagre surround offerings on this thing, the first time after listening to dozens of other titles that didn't need any tweaking of volumes. I've seen others saying how good the surround is, but I'm just not getting it. And now the news that Fugazi, my favorite Marillion, is to be mixed by the same people, I shall have to get it of course but it will be with trepidation of the horrors that it may bring.

One observation, the few bits of narration etc that the have put in the rears go to the left rear, whats wrong with putting something the right rear occasionally? Edit: OK "death" is in the right rear.

 

[svengaleekie]

Roxy Music 5.1 DTS DVDV, and the rears go back down to normal volumes.

Edit: Just looked to see how much I paid for this, a lot, it can be got for half what I paid.

Next up this morning....

Erich Kunzel Cincinnati Pops Orchestra - Got Swing!
