Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

Maybe I should join in. I haven't played ANY of my 5.1 Tull. I think I have them all except Aqualung (being reissued!!!) and Too Old, which I'm not particularly interested in. Do you recommend one to start?

Recommend starting with a 5.1 classic in the form of "BENEFIT" (for your benefit of course).

Those 2 Aqualung discs showing each contain a quad and 5.1 disc from the box set, btw. One a dvd the other blu-ray.

I'll chime in and say "Thick as a Brick" is the one I recommend starting with.
But besides that, even though you're not particularly interested in "Too Old to Rock n Roll" right now, I can tell you that it's absolutely worth owning. That TV Special Re-Recording (with or without video) is a revelation and one that I highly recommend.

That's a very good pick indeed.I love "Thick As A Brick".

Great album and sonics.

Okay, you guys convinced me, TAAB (corrected replacement disc) it is for my first 2016 surround listen.

Is the Spears record/mix any good?

I have the DVD Audio (not the DualDisc) and while I like the surround mix and sound quality quite a bit, in the end, the giggling and too often insipid lyrics keep me from spinning this one frequently.

After a crazy year, I spent New Years eve catching up on some old friends: Richard Thompson Rumor and Sigh, BS&T 2nd Album, Super Session, Diana Krall: Girl In The Other Room, the fabulous and never sounding better Chicago Transit Auithority in DTS 4.0 and The Best of The Guess Who.

Chilly and overcast early this morning. 7 AM and will finally catch a few hours sleep.

2016 and more surround Golden Nuggets on the way. It WILL be a VERY GOOD YEAR.

A 'super session' indeed! Nice selection of music. This morning I started out with Rick Wakeman "Six Wives" and continuing with

Opeth - Pale Communion (BD-A)
