LOVELY ALBUM, BTW!

It REALLY is LOVELY! Bloom really takes advantage of the surround soundstage, rapidly moving her soprano sax in front of mics to create a doppler effect--sublime! It took me a LONG time to find a genuine copy--learned my lesson the hard way from a Russian bootleg! Grr! I actually think it was @fredblue who alerted me to my bogus purchase! Ah, the fragility of memory . . .

Miles Davis ‎– Live-Evil Quadraphonic

Special guest -

• John McLaughlin: electric guitar

"This album is less mysterious than Bitches Brew, but dirtier, funkier, and even more evil. "Miles Davis and the Houserockers", they were called at times.
This is where Miles really brings the wah-wah to full effect.
It is conceivable that Miles was still figuring out what direction he would go after the success of Bitches Brew.
Live/Evil proves that even if he was unsure of how to follow up that landmark album in the studio, his taking no prisoners attitude was evident on stage.

Quite simply some of the most bizarre and demonic music you are ever likely to hear. Beautiful, heavy, and scary, essential music"

RPWL ‎– World Through My Eyes
SACD 5.1 mix

"This is an absolutely fine rockin' Proggy album, with mantra's, psychedelic Beatlesque spheres and Floydian soundscapes.
The musicianship is impeccable, the production and the sound is arguably some of their finest, crisp, clean yet never sterile or antiseptic.

Their cover of the Steve Hillage classic "Sea-Nature" smokes!

Storm Corrosion ‎– Storm Corrosion
Blu-Ray 5.1 mix

Mikael Åkerfeldt - Guitar
Steven Wilson - Keyboards
Gavin Harrison - Drums

Storm Corrosion was a musical collaboration between Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson

"Dark and hauntingly beautiful, cryptic, subtle, restrained, and provocative.
Storm Corrosion will turn off many listeners because of its torpid, structure less nature and fragile tones that seem to make no pretense towards hooks or memorability.
Instead, Åkerfeldt and Wilson let the careful listener revel in emotional soundscapes that drift by melodically, usually acoustically, and always with more than a hint of menace"

Talking Heads ‎– Remain In Light
DVD-A 5.1 mix

Special guests:

• Brian Eno – keyboards, percussion, guitar, bass guitar, backing vocals, vocal arrangements
• Adrian Belew – guitar, Roland guitar synthesiser

"This album featured the new Talking Heads - a multi-personnel band with added percussionists, backing vocalists and guitarist Adrian Belew, who put the wah-wah pedal to its most tasteful use since Jimi Hendrix.

The difference was noticeable immediately. Talking Heads songs had always been monologues in the past, but now there were two or three different vocal sections contrasting perspectives on the same issues.

The music was funkier, with more embellishments than before, and 'Remain in Light' represented a completely new approach, rather than an alteration of the old one"
